Maccalus Valerius Triarius, of the Freehold of Five Banners

”There is no higher calling than doing one's duty, and no greater sin than failing to pay the devil his due. Now attend to both and pass the wine.”

Biography

AKA Jeff Patterson

Active in the Golden Plains (and to a much lesser extent, the Emerald Hills) in the late 1980's, when the Plains was still a Shire, and later, a Barony. Maccalus entered the U.S. military on full-time active duty in 1990, and while stationed overseas in Germany, started an informal Amtgard group, the Vales of MistWinter, which presumably folded due to constant military deployments shortly after Maccalus returned to the states. Maccalus was inactive in Amtgard for a decade before returning to the fold and helping Jayden co-found the Freehold of Five Banners in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in 2007. Maccalus served as that Freehold's first Chief from 2007-2008.

Maccalus' full name is Maccalus Valerius Triarius Magnus, of the Stellatina tribe, a Roman citizen of Briton and Hispanian parentage. He is more commonly known as Maccalus Caerwent Ex, (a reference to his city of origin), Mac Daddy, Big Mac, Maczizzle, or simply "Maccalus." In his time he's also answered to, "Hey you," "Dude," and much worse!
