Introduction

Bob was first exposed to the SCA by an Army buddy in San Antonio, TX (Barony of Bjornsburg, Ansteorra) in 1996. Thoroughly hooked, upon his return to central Pennsylvania he immediately began lurking at the fringes of the Shire of Nithgaard (State College, PA) in the then-Principality of AEthelmearc. Moving to the East in 1998, he has lived in Eisental ever since. Robert assists his wife Kass McGann in running their business, [Reconstructing History], and can usually be found at SCA events behind the counter in RH's shop. When not actively merchanting, Robert is an avid voice herald, assisting in courts and tournaments whenever possible. He is an artisan and Companion of the Maunche, apprenticed to Mistress Elwynne Rowenna of Wentworth. His portfolio may be viewed on his LiveJournal [Fairfax Files]. Primary interests are metalworking (textile-arts tools such as pins, needles and accessories) and scribal arts. He also holds a Queen's Honor of Distinction.

Persona

Image at right notwithstanding, Robert is an English merchant from Coventry for whom it is perpetually 1586. The first HMS Vanguard has been launched, and he is hopeful of fair seas in the North Sea; safe transit from the Hanseatic ports to England mean greater profits. He and his wife Catherine have a townhouse and shop in Coventry as well as a small manor in Keresley Green, north of the city.
