Brand aux Deus-Leons
Brand, by Brand.:-) What an interesting thing this Wiki stuff is. Of course, someone could put all sorts of terrible things... like the truth, in here (or rumors, not nearly as interesting, I assure you;-)
Knight, Pelican, Etc, (see the OP) Poet, or tries at least. More anon. Brand.

Way back in AS 22 I was at Alpine Pass war I had just gotten past gate when Duke Torgul and a gentle whos name escapes me came up to my car, one of them said, "Hey Brand Great you could make it!" at this point the Duke hit him in the back of the head and said, "Try again." "Oh! Hey Gordon is this your first event?" I would have thought it an isolated incident except two more people thought I was Brand.
At Estrella war, the same year, I was there with Brand and helping him set up his tent when a family came up to me, called me Brand and asked if they could get their picture taken with me. Brand being helpful ran up with his banner and said, "Here Brand hold your banner, why I'll take the picture that way all of you can be in it." I'm sure the photo is one of their proudest posessions.
In 1986 (AS something) I attended my first ever Bardic competition of note, the homey and wonderful Celtic Bardic at the Swiss Hall in Blath an Oir. There I heard a wonderful poet, later singing some of the same songs I knew. He was chivalrous, and courteous, and flirtacious but honourable, paying due courtesy my mother, my sister and myself. Over the years I became good friends with this ginger-haired Knight, and few will bring as broad a smile to my face as fast, as good Sir Brand.
In his passion for education, he has interacted with some wonderful people, and when pressed, will tell you why it is he wears only one spur, and where the other lies. You will tear up with wonder and remembrance when you hear or are reminded of the tale.
A True Knight, of many of the Virtues, he is inspired by the brilliant talent and goddess-like beauty of his Lady, Cymbric, and knows that he is naught but for her.
