George Slade the Dragoon

Persona:

Slade attempts to recreate a dragoon[1] from approximately the year 1590 in the reign of Elizabeth I[2].
This entails late period clothing and armor. At court events he can often be found in outstanding garb created by the talented Mistress Ariel de Courteney. On the tournament/war field, he has been seen in a full coat of aluminum scale, a stainless anime/anima[3], and most recently a titanium anima with brass edging. A mild steel close helmet, pauldrons, stainless steel vambraces, hardened and reinforced leather cuisses, and black dragoon-style knee boots complete his fighting kit. He is working on upgrading his helmet to a stainless steel close helmet of similar look to his current helmet. For his first two years of fighting Slade fought with sword and strapped round shield, for the next 15 years Slade fought mainly with sword and heater, and occasionally a warhammer, a bec de corbin, or a great sword. Recently has has fashioned a lenticular shield similar to late period English parade shields.
