Persona History:
(no specific time period)
As a youth, my parents and I survived a shipwreck, washing up on a nearly deserted island. Despite being shipwrecked, things were pretty good, for years... until a ship anchored in the lagoon, one day, and people came ashore and killed my family ( I was later to discover that they were pirates!) So in the night while most were ashore, I swam out and killed several of those remaining on the ship, and convinced the few remaining to sail away with me as leader. They taught me to "rescue" treasure and pretty girls. After a while, I grew tired of the sea, and retired to a vast wooded land (assumed to be England, since they spoke English), where I find that I must defend the wildlife, as poachers keep coming in and killing my .... uummm... the kings... deer, wild pig, etc. I can't just go killing strangers in the woods, so I must wait until they have poached something. Then there's all that meat and other useful body parts that would go to waste if I don't use or give them away. ;) So the nearby farmers, trade me this wonderful stuff they call mead, and arrow heads, and knives for extra meat, fur, and bone.

The Blackfox Bolts:
In loving memory of Master William Blackfox: "Back when I first started playing in the SCA, there lived a man in my shire that you just had to like - even when he was learning to play the bagpipes and was called Cat Killer for the sounds he produced. This man became famous for many things. One of those things was archery. He later became Northkeep's first official archery marshal. After his untimely death, I was entrusted with his combat and target archery equipment (minus his longbow , which went to a member of his household) including a number of signed crossbow bolts.
Time has passed, and I believe that I have finally found a fitting way to help keep his memory alive, as well as promote one of his loves. I have chosen 5 people that have had a positive and lasting effect on archery in the northern region. Some of these people are familiar with the spotlight, some are used to hiding in the shadows but all are dedicated to promoting archery in the northern region. These people will, hopefully, find others who have had a positive and lasting effect on archery in the northern region in the future to pass their bolts on to. These bolts are not awards - they are a form of recognition given by archers to archers, and hereafter may be passed on in court or on the range. In Loving Memory of Master William Blackfox do I hereby present The Blackfox Bolts:
