Biography
Spearweasel is the nickname of 'Duke Squire Kansuke', which is too long for most people to remember or pronounce. Spearweasel is squired to Archduke Sir Arion Reinquist, who gave him the nickname after seeing him fight with a polearm. Sir Arion decided that he looked like he was using a "garden weasel" tool rather than a spear, and the name stuck. He refers to himself as a Stickflurb, something halfway between Flurb and Stick Jock. He does not care for ninjas, regardless of what others might think. He was most active between 1997 and 2004; after 2004, he lapsed into sporadic inactivity, though he does maintain some online presence.
Recent Status
Kansuke occasionally plays at the Shire of Nocturnis, where he claims residency. More often, Kansuke attends major IK and regional events, especially those in the Celestial Kingdom and the Wetlands. Kansuke is also active in the SCA, in the Barony of Bryn-Gwlad, in the Kingdom of Ansteorra under the same persona. Kansuke intermittently administers the [SCA Asian Persona Survey], a website intended to serve as a single contact point for SCAdians with personae from Asia: Japan, China, India, Southeast Asia, or the Mongol Empire. He is otherwise happy to occupy absolutely no positions of influence or responsibility there.
