== Introduction ==
I am [[Miester]] Otto von Schwyz. I reside in the [[Barony of Sacred Stone]], in the Kingdom of Atlantia.

== Persona ==
15th century Swiss German Mercenary currently wandering the coastal lands of modern-day Italy. Been active in the SCA since 1986 and a founding member of the Shire of Crannog Mor.
Born in the late 1400's in a small canton call Schwyz, Switzerland. As the middle son of a business owner, I would not see much, if any, of the family money. When I was 16, I started my career as a mercenary and hired hand.
Traveling south to the Italian states, I became a member of the kitchen staff with the de' Medici family in Florence. During this time, I learned how to cook and serve. After the deaths of my benefactors, one of the family was left, Catherine, their youngest daughter. It was then that I met Cardinal Giulio de' Medici, who came to Florence to take over the local government and the family. By the 1520's I was one of a few personal servants to the Cardinal, who became Pope Clement VII.
Being from Switzerland and with some combat experience I became a member of the Swiss Guard. Learned what it was to be a member of the Guard. Studied swordsmanship, how to use a pike, and what was expected in me when the Pope was traveling. All of this came to the test on May 6, 1527, when the Emperor Charles V sacked Rome. 147 Swiss Guards died alongside then-commander Kaspar Roist, while 42 were saved with Clement Vll in Castle San Angelo.
It has been about two dozen years sense I have left my home with little word on the condition of my family. After that bloody day in May, I have pledged my life to protect what is left of the Guard and to Church.
