Baron Paganus Grimlove has been Champion to Queens and Baronies more times than he can remember, throughout Caid and in other places in the Known World. He has been Queen's Champion in six forms: archery, crossbow, rapier, light weapons, thrown weapons, and unarmored combat. He is an accomplished archer, a fencer, an armored and unarmored fighter, an equestrian, the first Queen's Champion in Caid for crossbow and thrown weapons, and the last for light weapons/shinai. He is also a teacher in his arts, a brewer (primarily of cordials), a fletcher, and a leatherworker. He is a resident of Dreiburgen, but participates everywhere in the Known World that he goes. Outside the SCA, he holds a degree in theater, and has been part of choirs as well.

His wife is Rekon of Saaremaa.

Persona

Paganus' persona is a 7th century Celt. His mother, a Viking, captured his Irish father on a raid, and brought him home as a slave. In time, she fell in love with him and freed him, and together, they became emissaries of their respective cultures. Young Paganus traveled widely, and was fostered all over the Known World. Master Nootka and Mistress Gilda are foster parents in Atenveldt.

His SCA children, as well as nieces, nephews, and grandchildren are scattered far and wide over the Known World.
