Biography
Winter is a native of San Diego, CA who joined Belegarth in June of 2010. He had already been sword fighting in different forms, off and on, for well over a decade before that, but Belegarth is his first boffer sport. Despite living less than a block away from the Andor practice, it took him almost a year to walk down the street and check out the "sword fighting thing" his roommate kept mentioning. After watching one practice, he was hooked.
In the time since he joined, he has become a Veteran of Andor, a Realm Leader in two different Realms, a full guardsman of The Clan of the Hydra, and squire to Sir Kyrian Hawksword. He's run events and helped run events, and attended lots of events. For a while, his camping setup was arguably more glamping than camping, but he had to scale back to a normal camping tent after multiple nightcrawler infestations rendered his 10'x20' carport-turned-camping-palace unlivable.
He joined Belegarth at an age when most people are starting to leave Belegarth because of injuries and real life, so he's always been the old man in his Realm. After moving to Bremerton, WA, Winter decided to come out of semi-retirement and joined Talinor to help grow Belegarth in western Washington and the Pacific Northwest.
