Excellent Grand Royal Arch Captain
Companion Marty Kwilosz was born in July of 1986. He is rumored to have been raised by werewolves and educated at Xavier’s School for Gifted Youngsters. He is sometimes affectionately referred to as “Party” Marty due to his jovial attitude and celebration of the tenants of Good Fellowship. Marty’s passions in life include breaking bread with loved ones, telling stories and living life to the fullest. From a pro-wrestling event to Shakespere, he celebrates the arts in all of their forms. He prefers his music too loud, his drinks perfectly chilled and his Independence Day celebrations on the 4th of July.
