Lady Catherine PeacockAward of Arms; Companion of the Mill Stone; Burdened Tyger; Burdened Tyger; Order of the Silver Cresent
MKA: Cathy Silverman
Region: Stonemarche, Rockingham County
Era: All, at the moment Byzantine
Joined SCA: 1995
Activities: Politics; Autocrating; Cooking; Vintning; Garbing; Gardning; Iconography; Making Poisions; Storytelling; Childrens activities; generally making a nusance of myself.
Persona: In the year 800 Catherine Peacock was born in Constantinople to Alexius and Helena Peakokolous. Her parents had worked very hard at producing a male heir
and had instead ended up with 12 daughters, Catherine being the youngest. Her father, a lesser noble and having a successful silk business should have made for a very weathly upbringing however all those dowries for all those girls had drastically depleted their fortune. He had tried to pawn off some of his daughters to local convents to save money on dowries. This proved disasterous for the convents as the girls high spirits could not seem to be controlled.
The church fathers then approached Alexius and insisted he find proper marriages for the rest his daughters and not continue to inflict them on the church. Soon his luck was to change! The Emperor being very pleased with his silk gave Alexius a small ambassadorial position to entertain the Frankish diplomats currently visiting Constantinople. One of chief diplomats was a
strong and very wealthy young man by the name of Randall Brock. Randall had impressed Charlemagne with his wit and prowess on the field. His job was to bring back as much of the culture of the Byzantine Empire as he would be allowed. Randall was rather full of himself and decided he too should bring back a 'piece of the Empire'. After having dinner with his host he had the great pleasure of meeting his youngest daughter. He thought she was quite
nice and asked her father if he would consider an arrangement being made for her hand in marriage. Alexius protested that this was unheard of how could he in good consceince send his little 'Pearl' to the rough and barbarous north. Randall insisted that he spare no expense on her upkeep and no bride price would be too high. They were married and Catherine's families fortunes were restored. Catherine was very happy about the match as well. After years of hand me downs, even though they were beautiful clothes she was ready for some changes. She was a lady of noble blood and let all her new servants and new husband know it. She bought lots of pearls and many expensive items. One day she heard the servants referring to her as 'Lady Peacock'. She decided she would dress in he colours of the peacock whenever possible as well. She had 3 children that lived Kaitlin known as Katie, Meaghan known as Meg, and Evan. She lived for many years happily and and fashionably also helping increase her husbands fortunes by her shrewd business sense so she could buy more pearls.

Lady Ciarnait inghean Bhroin
(of the household Lochleven)
Award of Arms, Archery Marshal
 MKA: Karen Diamond
Region: Stonemarche, Madbury, Suffolk County
Era: Late 1400’s Wicklow, Ireland and Gypsy Middle Eastern
Joined SCA: September, 1997
Activities: I am a member of the Dabblers Guild – which means I try anything new at least once.
On a regular basis I make garb, bobbin lace, embroider, nailbind, make netting, make candles, and experiment.
I am an Archery Marshal and have a permanent range in my back yard. I love to teach!
Persona: I have been researching in several areas for my persona, and so have wandered a bit.
I am an Irish woman of the late 1400’s from Wicklow, living with my
Scottish cousins in Lochleven Scotland. My interest in lace has taken
me on a number of travels to Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, Belgium,
and even England. It is my hope to bring a bit of refinement to these
northern highlands. My dress (literally traced from my ancestors – an
old dress just becomes a pattern), is a mix of the cultures that have
woven themselves into my homeland. I enjoy breaking the sumptuary laws
regularly by wearing braids, curls, ribbons and decorations in my
hair, using excess cloth in my chemises and, even though I look poorly
in yellow, wearing saffron because it is denied to my people. In my
travels I have met with some very interesting southern people who have
taught me a new way of dancing and dressing for the unreasonably hot
weather we have; they are in general refereed to as “Middle Eastern”
here.

Lord Diomedes Sebastianus
(D. Sebastian)(of House VonDrackenclaue and House Silver Oak)
Award of Arms, Goldensword Winner (AS 38) 
>MKA: Matthew DiLullo (Mattyd)
Region: Stonemarche, Belknap County
Era: 6th Cent Byzantine Cataphract
Joined SCA: Jan, 2002
Activities: Heavy List Fighting; Making Garb; Heraldry; Making Armor; Alchemy (one day...); general shenanagins
Persona: The Catapharact Dio of Sebastia (known to his companions as D. Sebastian) shifted in his saddle, looked past the helmeted Strategos and his mighty glaive, and scanned the horizon beyond. The enemy's heavy cavalry was rallying, soon they would charge. That meant only one thing...
The Byzantine Strategos turned and smiled a genuinely gleeful grin at his Tagama Army. With that grin, all, including D. Sebastian, understood that they would soon meet the enemy in a counter-charge. D. Sebastian's officer leaned over quietly and smiling, issued a single order: "Don't get dead".
Born in the City of Sebastia in Asia Minor, Diomedes had answered the call to fight in the on-again off-again wars that plagued the lands of the Byzantine Empire. Impressing an officer of the Strategos' bucellarii, he now found himself amongst their ranks and about to be thrust into harms way. He joined the rest of the grinning bucellarii with his own smile. "Don't get dead" he mused, "words to live by."
