Mischka Ravensfuri
Also known as: Mishka Petrovich Valadesque
Highest Current Award: Laurel
Current/Last Known Branch: Porte de l'Eau (He is has also lived in Three Mountains and the Shire of Silverhart.)
Mischka is married to Kiriena Voronaskaia and is one of the Ravensfuri brothers: Barak Ravensfuri, Davin Steingrimsson, Dungadar Ravensfuri, Garan Steingrimson, Gunther Ravensfuri, Skeggi Hrafensfuri, and Skapti Thorinsson. His laurel was awarded for his mastery of the metal arts and historical pattern welded steel. His homepage is here. While serving as Master of steel and hammer, he took up the study of the lens to capture and chronicle the ways of life. To encourage young artists, he found ways to capture the stories they wrote that they may live forever. He became known as a new master of photography; never present without a camera at his side and never complete in his eyes without one. He took on apprentices to train new laurels and pass on his knowledge; some did well, some didn't. His last apprentices were young men without firm direction, but he bent their will to face the world and see what must be done if that was to change. A man of a thousand ambitions, he eternally planned new projects, voyages around the world, and to build a castle of his own in precisely 8 years. His educated innocence was an inspiration to his friends and brothers, and reminded them that no one was perfect but to try anyway.
