Persona
Late 16th century
Alisdair was born the acknowledged illegitimate son of a Scottish highland noble. Because he was recognized by his father he had access to a small store of money and resources. At the age of 16 he took his inheritance and set out for the Continent, tracing his father's footsteps of a generation earlier. Through blind luck he encountered a few people of roughly his own age in places his father was known to have spent time, and it was determined these folk were likely half-siblings of his. Pooling their resources, they founded a soon to be thriving mercantile shipping and receiving partnership with warehouses in several commercial hot spots around Europe and the Caribbean. Along the way, he took up the study of Defense with the Spanish masters of the de Carranza school of La Verdadera Destreza (the "True Art"). Being an apt pupil, he earned the title of Rapier Champion of the Barony of Sternfeld in A.S. LIX.

Miscellany
I am originally from the College of St. Golias and the Barony of al-Barran in the Outlands, having transplanted to Sternfeld in the Midrealm in 2008. I have family everywhere from An Tir to the Outlands, Calontir to Trimaris, Midrealm to Meridies and probably more I've forgotten. I stopped playing for a while, choosing instead to concentrate on mundane life and raising kids. Now that those children are grown and have joined the SCA in turn, I'm back!
Interests and SCA-related hobbies
Music and bardic arts, fencing, and trying to build an environment for those around me that is inclusive, accepting, and safe for all.
