Other Information

ORIGINS

Chiron started foam fighting in the Spring of 2003 when an Amptgard fighter moved into his small South Dakota hometown. In 2004 he co-founded the (no longer active) realm Wiste-Nare in South Dakota. In 2005 he began selling weapons and leather armor, and in 2006 started the merchanting operation Redstar-Boltcaster with a couple friends. In early 2007 he co-founded the unit Cult of Odin, and was involved in bringing together the scattered fighters of Minneapolis-St.Paul into the realm Frozen North (A Unified Foam Fighters group including fighters from Amptgard and other games). In 2008 he joined the unit Indomar, then recently split from the Gestiguiste.

LOCAL

When he's not off having adventures, Chiron practices every Sunday at 2:00 at Powderhorn Park in Minneapolis (14th and 33rd), and sometimes at Blades of Anduin practice in St Paul. He likes working on his dagger skills and telling people to run him over. Chiron is an advocate of teamwork, respawn battles, and having fun at the expense of winning.

KNIGHTHOOD

Chiron squired to Sir Laithe of Indomar from 2010 to 2012, and was knighted into the Order of Argon Dreth at Ragnarok XXVII as Sir Chiron the Bearshirt.

Graven is currently squired to Chiron.
