Introduction
Perez ben Meir Gershon (Pron: PAIR-ehtz behn may-EER geer-SHOWN), MKA Gavin Skal, got started in the SCA in the autumn of 2018 in the Crown Province of Østgarðr, showing up to the local heavy combat practice after being encouraged by friends to check out the SCA and having seen the demo at the Cloisters Medieval Festival. His first event was The Feast of John Barleycorn in 2019, and he became a formal SCA member that October. In addition to armored combat, Perez enjoys period cooking of all varieties, and has particular interest in Jewish and Ottoman history. Since being awarded arms with his induction into the Order of the Silver Tyger by Queen Margarita de' Siena, he takes the title "Effendi".
In mundane life, Perez works as an audio engineer, and is interested in helping those in the bardic arts make professional-quality recordings, as well as assisting with livestreaming of events.
Persona
Perez is a Sephardic Jew who hails from the city of Salonica in Ottoman-controlled Greece during the reign of Kanunî Sultan Süleyman (Suleiman the Magnificent). A cosmopolitan by nature, Perez grew up surrounded by Spanish-speaking Jews, Orthodox Greeks, Muslim Turks, and the occasional passing Serb, Croat, Albanian, or Venetian. His father was a physician of some renown.
