Staccatto was introduced to Amtgard in the spring of 2007 as a senior in high school.

While in Seattle, he occasionally plays with the good folk of the [[Inland Ocean]] where he takes ruthless beatings from vastly superior fighters. He once rode the bus for over two hours to go back, only to remember that they meet on Saturday and not Sunday, but he hasn't forgotten which day they play since.

I come off as a bit of an arrogant jerk almost all of the time. Sorry about that; it's more of an act than anything. I like to play the bard and, in my head, that includes a bit of mockery and playful ribbing. If it really bothers you, you can talk to me about it. When push comes to shove, I like to think I'm pretty good at putting my nose to the grindstone and getting things done. I do have a genuine, profound respect for many, though I usually prefer to express it by giving them a hard time.
 
  
My pre-game music is The Book of Heavy Metal by Dream Evil. I'll ocassionally imagine myself killing lots and lots of faceless enemies in an elaborate Dynasty Warrior style fight scene set to one of the songs from that album if I feel I need to get pumped up. My theme music is M.O.M. (Man or Mouse) by the same band.
