I was looking at a bottle of Dewar's Scotch. Really. It is nothing more then a permutation of my favorite liquid refreshment.

On another board, a long time ago, someone starting calling me a viking bastard. Because I was Icelandic and considered a rat bastard.

So I adopted it.

Long since tired of it, really. But sometimes you're stuck with your teenage decisions.

Janus Nasadra was my favorite 2e PC. Around level 3 he inherited a drow-slaying katana from his mentor and during the next 10 levels he became known by that sword. "Drowbane".

My avatar is a drawing (OotS style) by Tarionzcousin depicting a halfling I played in tabletop, "Daevas Bitterleaf, the Halfling Torch".

I've been the Jester since the old BBS days in the late 80s/early 90s.

It's a reference to a band (Marillion).

I had a couple other names on the board, but moved along with them as my Yahoo id changed. The one I have now I have used before, but there is no real story behind it.

I see you are in Japan. How are your fellow countrymen doing with the recent tragedies?

Severian is the narrator and main character of Gene Wolfe's four-volume novel The Book of the New Sun. The first place I used it already had a Severian so I changed it to incorporate the Z from my previous handles Zombu and ZombieMonkey.

Peace,
