Introduction
As with any great story, there are humble beginnings. In 1992, while a student at Old Dominion University, Malcolm began studying Medieval History and stumbled into the hobby of making handmade chain mail using a hand drill and metal dowel. The original, 16-gauge chain-mail coif is still on display in Malcolm’s quarters. Not long after, Malcolm found himself associated with a steel group in Norfolk called “The Free Companions.” It was there he first heard of the SCA, and the allure of “hitting people with baseball bats.” He decided to learn how to fight with rebated steel swords/axes; make his own great helm, and full plate legs. At this time, Malcolm’s interest in the SCA waned; all of his swords, daggers, axes, and armor were left to collect dust for over a decade before his interest was rekindled and he gave SCA a first look. Since that time, Malcolm has had a tenured and distinguished SCA career.
There are four distinct phases of Malcolm's SCA career.
1st Atlantia (2004 - 2008)
1st Drachenwald (2009 - 2018)
2nd Atlantia (2019 - 2021)
2nd Drachenwald (2021 - Currently)
Persona
Malcolm is a man-at-arms of the 14th Century, and an early member of the 14th Century Mafia in Atlantia. Malcolm is a dandy who excels at showing off his fine clothes and armor...just don't expect him to be able to fight his way out of a wet paper bag with a sharp knife. Malcolm is a minor noble from the lowlands of Dumfries in Scotland, but he fought for the French against the hated English in France for money, fame, and glory. Malcolm has been seen in public in Tudor fashions of the 16th Century and in Norse fashion of the 10th Century.

Marshal Accomplishments
During the 1st Atlantian Phase, Malcolm spent his first year traveling to over 22 events and earned his Award of Arms by the hand of His Majesty Janos I, becoming Lord Malcolm de Moffat when he volunteered to be the Baronial Herald for the Barony of Caer Mear. Malcolm was initially squired to Sir Bryce de Byrum and joined the Hotel de Byrum, in AS 39 at the Tourney of Ymir where he advanced to the semi-finals for the first time. He served with distinction with his Knight and squire brothers at the initial Challenge of the Heart Tournament (AS 39), and was invited to fight by his Knight's side in the 2nd Combat of the Thirty at Pennsic War 34. There he was awarded the knight's chain from a knight of the King of the East for his prowess that day. In AS 40 Malcolm took the Cross and left for the crusade in Babylon spending four years and losing many friends, but serving with distinction in the sands of that far-off land.
Sickened by years of heat and sand, Malcolm, in AS 44, sailed for the port of Vielbergen in the Barony of Knight's Crossing in Drachenwald, home of a myriad of lords and ladies from all over the Knowne World. This began his 1st Drachenwald phase; he wished to stay ostensibly for only a year but his sojourn lasted much longer and enabled him to serve several different Lords and Ladies in that gorgeous kingdom for over ten years. Malcolm served as the Barononial Champion for the Baron of Knight's Crossing; he fought in the initial Tourney des Hertzwald as a tenon; he fought as the 'Red Knight' on two different occasions during Tourney des Hertzwald II, Tourney des Hertzwald III. In AS 50, Malcolm moved east to the Canton of Turnstadt and had the pleasure of serving as Man-at-Arms to Duke Thorvaldr Tvisvar Brottinn, traveling with the Duke's household, to Gulf Wars (where he fought along with his once Squire-Brother, then Prince of Atlantia William Thomas), and Drachenwald 20 Year (fighting a powerful duel with Lord Frakii of Meadowmarsh losing the heroic deed 2-1), as well as serving as Seneschal of his home Canton.
In AS 53 he sailed from the port of Poldershot in Drachenwald for the Barony of Stierbach in Atlantia, beginning his 2nd Atlantian phase. Lord Malcolm settled in the eastern hills of the Barony but had no household affiliation. It was at Their Majesty Christoph II and Adelhait II Rip Rap War III in AS 55 did he bent the knee again to the King & Queen of Atlantia.
In AS 55 Malcolm sailed from the Atlantian port of Ursus Bay to the port of Poldershot in Drachenwald and settled in the hills of the Shire of Vielbergen. Currently, Malcolm is a recluse in his manor of Schopp, having seen enough of war and fighting to occupy ten lifetimes.
