Bio

Roast joined the Principality of Polaris at Dungeon Day 2015. He along with a group of other adventurers were approached while relaxing, drinking, and dining in a branch of the North Star Lodge by a member of the Prince Broton's guard who explained that while traveling through the Under Dark the Prince had been captured by an evil priestess of the Drow. Roast and band of fellow adventurers took off at once into the Under Dark hiring a guide to lead them through the dungeon. The band was set upon early and fought many hard battles, but in the end it was another group of brave adventurers who in the end saved and rescued the Prince.

Upon the field of battle during MAME 2015, Roast fought on the side of Prince Broton for the barbarian horde against the invading roman legions led by Sir Micah Helstaven. During the battle between the free peoples of the Principality of Polaris and the invading roman legions it was revealed that a dark power had been unleashed during the events of Dungeon Day earlier in the year when the evil priestess was slain. This dark power had raised an army of undead and had hidden them within the armies of both the barbarian horde and the roman legions. The remaining true members of the barbarians and the romans joined together under a combined banner of Prince Broton and Sir Micah to repel and defeat the army of undead. At the end of the day the undead army and the dark power that had raised them was defeated and the peoples of Polaris, both barbarian and roman alike joined in celebration, late into the night. It was during this celebration that Roast began petitioning The Einherjar.

Having joined the traveling party of Prince Broton to GAC:Rise of the Nightmare Lord, the party initially made use of his wagon. Unfortunately, not soon after setting out the horses pulling Roast's Wagon went wild and ran the wagon into another wagon in the caravan rendering it useless. Upon procuring a temporary wagon while Roast's was under repair, the party was able to continue and eventually arrive at the battlefield. Traveling through the woods with other members of Einherjar Roast and his fellows were able to recover an impressive number of medallions from the cultists inhabiting the woods, but alas another party was able to recover even more. The rest of the event passed in a blur of merriment and work assisting the Prince Broton in preparing for court. During court as Prince Broton was stepping down, the sun turned a strange hue and the earth starting shaking violently. Suddenly, Prince Broton was attacked and held hostage by some inmates along with a man and women dressed as court jesters. A concerned citizen tried to intervene, but was slammed through a table and almost set on fire, but at the last moment a man wearing all black and a mask with the visage of a bat appeared and drove off the villains. The man removed his mask, introducing himself as Bruce Wayne and expressed to all those gathered that those in attendance had been transported to another world. In the coming days, as the rage over their predicament grew Roast and several other members of The Einherjar felt a strange power growing within them. They were soon visited by an unknown entity and presented with Red Lantern Rings and inducted into the halls of the Red Lanterns.

During Polaris' Mid Reign festival two armies, comprised of heroes and villains fought in numerous battles. It culminated in a battle within the vary walls of Arkham Asylum where the villains had captures and were holding hostage Superman. While the force of heroes tried valiantly to free Superman, in the end they were unable. However, they were able to capture and hold hostage The Joker, and when the force villains left Arkham to free him, the villains sneaked in and fortified themselves within Arkham's walls. Upon realizing they had been duped the villains turned around and began to assault the Asylum's walls. Having been inside themselves just moments before they were able to make use of their knowledge and skills and breached numerous walls to gain entry to Arkham and succeeded in freeing The Joker. Later that night, while attending Bruce Wayne's charity galla, Polaris' watched as The Joker tried to interupt the proceedings and was soundly beaten and drug off by Robin, but not before a concerned citizen was once again placed in danger and had a mysterious liquid poured upon him from above by Harley Quin.

At Dungeon Day 2016, The Joker managed to escape his cell from within Arkham's walls and took over the asylum for his own purposes. Roast and a band of adventurers were hired by LutherCorp to gain entrance to the asylum and recapture The Joker and return him to his cell. The party fought their way through numerous escaped villains and barely escaped a number of traps, but, just when it seems that victory was within their grasp and The Joker would be theirs, The Joker appeared an a TV, complimented Roast and his party on killing all of the maintenance and medical staff, but informed them that they would not be able to capture him and detonated a bomb destroying Arkham. Barely escaping with their lives Roast and his party made it back to the city. It so happens that all of the Polaris' citizens had grown tired of this realm, and had been working on a great magic portal together, to bring them back to their rightful homes. As a single body, all of the people of Polaris' stepped through the portal...and appeared inside of a square...something. Surrounded on all sides by screaming people holding signs. The square was enclosed with three ropes each higher than the last forming a, cage of sorts around the square. The last thing that Roast heard was a man yelling, several times louder than should be possible "LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLE!!!!".

In this even stranger new world that Roast and all of Polaris found themselves in it was quickly determined that all of the known Kingdoms were present in this strange new world, but there were tensions rising very rapidly to Polaris' south. The Kingdoms or Rivermoor and Emerald Hills were at odds in regards to the future of their Kingdoms and eyed each other with distrust. Both Kingdoms rallied their allies and marched towards each other, meeting in the lands of the Kingdom of Tal Dagore. The people of Polaris, marched to join with the armies of their grandparent Kingdom, the Emerald Hills. Broton, Morpheus and Roast traveled together in Roast's wagon and set up camp among the armies of the Emerald Hills. As the war drums were beat and soldiers lost their lives a dark power that had influenced King Ormar of Rivermoor was gathering souls to feed his dark powers. Through the various battles that took place the two armies fought each other to a standstill. When neither army could stand the site of further bloodshed an accord was reached and a tentative peace was agreed to.

Roast at Known World War 1

Annually the Kingdoms of Amtgard meet at Gathering of the Clans to discuss vital matters to the functioning of their lands. A large contingent from Polaris was in attendance, as one of the items for discussion that year would be whether the Kingdoms of Amtgard would elevate the Principality to its own Kingdom. Roast and his fellow company brothers and sisters traveled to the gathering use Baron Hager Silverdragon's Bifrost. Crossing the country in the Bifrost was a warm and pleasant experience and upon arriving the members of Polaris partied and enjoyed the company of members from all of the lands of Amtgard. This gathering saw, for the first time in many years, all of the actual Monarchs of their Kingdoms in attendance and saw Polaris receive an unprecedented 18 unanimous votes to become a Kingdom. Yes!Yes!Yes!Yes!Yes!Yes!Yes!Yes!Yes!Yes!Yes!Yes!Yes!Yes!Yes!Yes!Yes!Yes!

Upon returning to Polaris shocking news was heard. In expectation of becoming a Kingdom Prince Akyo had sent out an expeditionary force to secure new lands for the fledgling Kingdom to grow into and dire news of the state of the force was heard. The greater populace of Polaris rushed to give assistance where they were quickly caught in the trap of a Lich in an alternate dimension, where the members of Polaris and others were set in a series of sick games against each other to try and free themselves from the pocket dimension, all with the aims of the Lich escaping himself. However, the Polaricans quickly caught onto the scheme and were able to trick the Lich into escaping while leaving himself trapped behind.

Keep on the Borderlands 7 saw Roast, Shaft and Mhotep create and then lead a pickup team of Polaricans, calling themselves Pole'aris to 3rd place.

Dungeon Day 2017 saw Roast ascend to the monarchy of Polaris as Hand of the King to King Queball Ironwolf.

Roast as Regent of the Kingdom of Polaris

Known World War 2 happened, and Pole'aris made another showing and with its efforts combined with that of the mighty Emerald Hills showed Rivermoor and Tal Dagore what for.

GAC 2017 witnessed Roast descending from the office of Hand of the King, being awarded his title of Jarl and watching his company brother Broton ascend as the Warchief of Polaris and ally with the pinkies of the Alliance lead by the Prince of Stormwind Akyo.

Keep on the Borderlands 8 saw Roast and the Einherjar join forces with Norse Star, The Golden City All-Stars and Asura, and saw the deployment of a contingent of 15+ foot polearms that proved that Sir Queball had found the meta, upped the meta, and left everyone else in the dust as the team flew easily to victory.
