Spades

Spades of the Barony of Aureus Saltus

Biography

Spades first stepped out of the shadows and onto an Amtgard field in 2011 at Crimson Wood. Drawn by Gale StrongHammer's tales of opportunity to stab people in the back, front, or other parts of their bodies, he was excited. Attracted most to the social aspect and combat, he was hooked. Shortly thereafter he attended Westmarch Fighter Training in Ashen Spire and learned to suck a little bit less. Sporadically attending when he could, at first due to being busy and full of excuses to eventually living in Chicago without access to a park, Spades was inactive nearly 4 years. But he would often pull out his swords when possible to fight and play with friends and family, none of whom truly got it. Eventually returning to Westmarch, Spades was elated to discover that in his absence, Aureus Saltus had formed and was growing near his new home. He's jumped in and started recruiting, learning, fighting, and helping wherever he can. And he's overjoyed to play again.
