Initially started playing in An Tir, his local land was within the Barony of Madrone. He started attending their Wednesday night local fighter practice. A very welcoming group of guys, Sir Payne, Sir Athelred, Sir Heilyn, Sir Tim, Sir Stefan being some of the first and regulars to help him get armored up and fighting. Since that time Athos continued to enjoy himself on the fighting fields, both armored and rapier, and also accomplished himself more in the other aspects of the society.
