My main PC, started in 1980, and also was the second PC I ever created. Now he's also an important NPC in my long-running campaign, so I could have selected that button as well. Maldin (and his shop) has also been published in official City of Greyhawk materials (Living Greyhawk Journal), and appeared in Dragon Magazine #337 in one of Erik Mona's "Wormfood" articles. I've got a page up about his shop on my website as a web-expansion of the Dragon article. http://melkot.com/locations/cogh/maldins.html

Loads of edition-independent Greyhawk goodness... maps, magic, mysteries, mechanics, and more! Click on "Who is Maldin?" for info about the "real-world" Maldin. ;-)
A friend in my martial arts class started calling me boss, and when I joined his paintball team, the name stuck. Now, I am the captain of the team, and instructor in the class, so it is somewhat fitting.
Of the (too) many PC's I've had over time, Lanefan became the iconic one; i.e. the one that has the most of "me" built in...except he's about 3 or 4 times as strong as I am. That, and in the (homebrew) language it's derived from, La Nefan means "Man of (the) Moon"; even though I named him many years before I became Wiccan, it just fits somehow.
