Michael Hammer of God

Grand Duke Sir Michael Hammer of God, of the Kingdom of Polaris

"Bring it on, baby”

"If you say his name three times, Mhog will appear and will make amtgard things happen. This may take you spinning 3 times clockwise while saying his name. Also, a noob may need to be sacrificed at some point, the ancient amtgard texts are not clear”

Bio

Originally from Boulder, Colorado, Michael attended college in the late 80s in San Antonio, TX, and while there he was a founding member of the first Amtgard chapter in San Antonio, Turris Lunae. From there he co-founded the Celestial Kingdom, and served as its First King, it's 11th Prime Minister and it's second and 9th Champion.

He did finally make it to the Rising Winds in June of 2005, when the Rising Winds hosted Olympiad.
