=History=
Brought in by Sir [[Tasis]] in 1995, helped in start [[Talinor]] in it's original form in Moscow, [[Idaho]] along with [[Dagorath]], [[Laren]], & [[Tass]]. Fought with [[Talinor]] and participated in several battles with [[Highlands_of_Chaos|the Highlands of Chaos]] and joined forces with [[Highlands_of_Chaos|HoC]] for [[Ragnarok]] XI. In late 1999, moved away from [[Talinor]] to western [[Washington]]. Managed to participate in a handful of battles with [[Gondor]] (and [[Tasis]] & [[Tass]]), but eventually lost contact and ceased participation. Returned in 2007 and revived [[Talinor]] in [[Washington|Bremerton, WA]]. Can often be found fighting alongside his brothers-in-arms in [[Tacompton]]. Pledged to the [[Gelfs|Gelfen Empire]] in 2008, brought in as a full member at Chaos Wars XIII. Since that time, has fought exclusively as a [[Gelfs|GELF]].

I would like to think myself a humble soul, but this proves I am not. Like many, I put a lot of effort into doing things well. I think I do alright, and it seems at times you agree. Hopefully, my effort makes a better experience for all of us.
