Biography
Having joined Amtgard in 2004, Colt spent his early days trying to experience every aspect of the game that he could. He experimented heavily with questing, crafting, and battlegaming. It wasn't until 2006 that he decided to earnestly pursue combat. In early Summer 2007, he was given a Man at Arms belt under Syr Sanchez. (I say "given," but what I really mean is "he didn't really have a choice to even think about it because it was thrown at his head.") His knight loved him so much, he was given a squire's belt the following spring, less than a year later, on the same night that Sanchez was given his Crown knighthood. The exchange went something like as follows:
"Here."
"Uhh, the fuck, Nick?!"
"What?"
"Dude, I JUST became your Man at Arms!"
"And?"
"We gotta talk about this. I can't accept this."
"The fuck? Why not? What, you feeling whiny? Fine. You're doing a good job. There. Better?"
"You're an asshole."
"Shut up and put it on. I ain't gonna tie that shit on you."
"Fine. Fucker."
-Three hours later, after being dubbed a Crown Knight-
"So? how's it feel to be called a squire?"
"I wouldn't know. No one's done it yet."
"Squire."
"Crown Knight."
"Fuck you."
"Fuck you."
At Fury of the Northlands 2010, Colt and his squire brother Fitz were both called up to be given their 10th Orders of the Warrior together in a beautifully epic moment. A year later, Colt was given his Warlord title and two years after that, was Knighted into the Order of the Sword. Nowadays, Colt spends his time teaching fighting workshops and designing new games to make Amtgard more entertaining for the fresh crop of players in Goldenvale. His primary goals are to improve the overall combat level across his Kingdom, and to make sure that everyone has an amazing time at his annual Halloween-themed immersive event in Haranshire every October.
