Affiliated Groups

Zero Crane visited Five Banners for their first several practices in 2008, then went on a 2 year break from all foam sports. He has been actively attending Five Banners since early May, 2010. Zero is a 10 year veteran of MELEE. Zero is also the Secundus of House Crane, a familial "Noble" House along with his brothers Alexandros Crane(primus), Stephano Crane and Baleon Crane.

Notable Accomplishments

Zero has never put much stock into gaining recognition at amtgard when he attends events, rather seeks to learn from fighters he considers to be more skillful then himself. Zero is the only MELEE citizen to win the provincial warlord title twice. Zero is also the only MELEE citizen who has ever won more than two championship tourneys (6 in total), and the only MELEE citizen to win two or more consecutive champions tournaments (3 in a row).

On June 6th, 2010 Zero participated in and won his first Amtgard Champions Tourney for Five Banners. Zero declined the title due to a combination of too much responsibility involved with the position, and feelings that the runner up would preform the jobs associated with the position more adequately.
