After moving to Philadelphia, Aurddeilen played with many local SCA groups before finally joining the Shire of Buckland Cross (Now Barony). Aurddeilen is mundanely known as Ray Becker; he is a structural engineer by profession, and resides with his wife Kirsten (Lady Sigridh Bengstdotter), and daughter Kathryn in Southampton, Pa.<br />

After moving to Philadelphia, Aurddeilen played with many local SCA groups before finally joining the Shire of Buckland Cross (Now Barony). Aurddeilen is mundanely known as Ray Becker; he is a structural engineer by profession, and resides with his wife Kirsten (Lady Sigridh Bengstdotter), and daughter Kathryn in Southampton, Pa.<br />

Aurddeilen is mundanely known as Ray Becker; he is a structural engineer by profession, and resides with his wife Kirsten (Lady Sigridh Bengstdotter), and daughter Kathryn in Southampton, Pa.<br />

== Introduction ==<br />
Aurddeilen (Iri-Theilen) has been playing with the SCA for more than 40 years. He was introduced to the SCA shortly before his 16th birthday by two heavy fighters performing a demo at a small gaming convention.

After moving to Philadelphia, Aurddeilen played with many local SCA groups before finally joining the Shire of Buckland Cross (Now Barony). Aurddeilen is mundanely known as Ray Becker; he is a structural engineer by profession, and resides with his wife Kirsten (Lady Sigridh Bengstdotter), and daughter Kathryn in Southampton, Pa.<br />

== Introduction ==<br />
Aurddeilen (Iri-Theilen) has been playing with the SCA for more than 40 years. He was introduced to the SCA shortly before his 16th birthday by two heavy fighters performing a demo at a small gaming convention. The first SCA local group he joined was the March of the Fenix (Now Barony) in Cincinnati, Ohio. After moving to Philadelphia, Aurddeilen played with many local SCA groups before settling in Southampton, Pennsylvania and joining the Shire of Buckland Cross (Now Barony).<br />
<br />
At present he is<br />
<br />
*'''First Baron Elect; Investiture scheduled for December 2018'''<br />
*'''Minister of Arts and Sciences, Barony of Buckland Cross (Bucks County, PA)'''<br />
*Archery Marshal and Thrown Weapons Marshal (East Kingdom, hosts bi-weekly practices May thru October)<br />
*Bhakail Games Champion (2017)<br />
*East Kingdom Metalsmiths Guild (Member)<br />
*Heavy Fighter (Retired)<br />

== Persona ==<br />
*'''Original Persona Intent: 14th Century Welsh'''<br />
*My SCA Name "Aurddeilen-ap-Robet" translates from Welsh to English as "Gold Leaf, son of Robert" <br />
*However I love history and the entire SCA time period, so you will find me wearing anything from 10th century Viking to 16th Century Elizabethan.<br />
