THL Yvon Bater of Darkwood was the 18th member of The Order of Chiron on 10/23/04 and held the archery ranks of Bow Master in the Longbow, the Crossbow and Open Divisions back in the 1990s and was one of a hand full of archers to achieve this. He Became a Herald in the mid 1980s, so he could disprove the morbidity clause. This was a BS clause that a local herald claimed existed that banned the use of skulls on a device (the herald personally did not like them). He proved it was false. Yvon was a founding member of the Canton of Gallavally. Baron Paganus Grimlove and Master Damales Redbeard have known him since college in 1981.

Remembrances
I think he preceded my entry into the SCA, because he always seemed to be at Dreiburgen events as well as ones further afield. He was a true character - which is why we were constantly causing mischief together - or at least egging each other on. He was a fixture in the canton of Gallavalley (Hemet and San Jacinto) and was probably one of the key driving forces in making it an active group along with his friend, the late Stephen the Scrivener. I believe that he was also very active in the Barbarian Freehold as "Ravnos" even though he was one of the more outlying members. He'd been inactive sometime after I became inactive in person (although still active via the Caidlist). He was fond of saying that he hoped to get a higher award so that he could be known as Master... Master Bater. Because that was how he rolled. Wiat d'Argonne, better known as Wiat the Odd
