==Persona History==
Greetings Unto One and All!

I am Giudo, the eldest son of Niccolo (of the Brunelleschi family) and Simona (of the Alberti family). I was born on December 12, 1400, and have two younger brothers, Antonio and Piero.

My father has been an apothecary for many years now, but his health is failing him. The family shop is now under my care as he tries to recuperate from his illnesses. My mother recently passed away, not a full three years ago, of an unknown illness.

My brother, Antonio, has gone missing on the trade routes to the Far East. I have taken over the spice and textile trade that he took care of, as well. I fear that it was his relationship with an Arabic woman named Fatima that has caused him to go missing. She had two children prior to meeting my brother...a daughter, Jamila, and a son, Hassan. But it was the daughter that Fatima bore Antonio that may be the cause of his troubles. Shifa, I believe the girl's name was.

My other brother, Piero, has moved to the countryside since our mother's death. His lady, Gianetta, and their daughter, Lisabetta, have disavowed the family to work the land.

Due to taking over the apothecary shop from my father and the spice and textile trade from my brother, I have remained single, focused on keeping ahead on business. Although there are rumors floating around Florence of several indiscretions, I refuse to let on that any of them may be true (whether they are or not).

Florence still remains a republic, in this year (1429). Thusly, I hold no allegiance to any of the families in this city that are showing signs of political power. I fear that the Medici family will soon rise to power, as they have become much more heavy-handed in their political dealings. They seem to be throwing their weight (and money) around more than in the past few years. Let's just hope that they do not ascend to any real power...for Florence's sake.

The winter months are approaching, and I will soon need to travel northward to Kiev, in the Ukraine, to sell off some of the textiles and spices. The money is desperately needed in order to keep the apothecary shop going in the spring and summer months. I will be returning to the home of Laman, a Russian spice merchant who I have become great friends with. I am greatly amused by his naming me Mishka while there, though. He considers me to be one of his greatest friends, and refuses to call me anything more formal than this.

'''Timeline of Dates:'''

* February 18, 1380: Birth of Simona, mother of Giudo
* August 30, 1399: Marriage of Simona to Niccolo

==Alternate Personas==

* Mishka Lamanov (Kiev, Ukraine)
* Jedediah Glasmon (London, England)
-- I chose the byname of Lamanov because I needed something to do with "llamas". That and I was wanting an excuse to wear something that worked great for winter garb.

* Jedidiah Glasmon (London, England)
-- Glasmon is in reference to my liking of glasswork...and I've always liked the name Jedidiah.

* Giudo di Niccolo Brunelleschi (Florence, Italy)
* Jibril al-`Attar (Arabic nomad)
-- This has been my primary SCA persona up until September 2006...at which point I switched to Jibra'il.
-- al-`Attar means "the perfurmer; the druggist" in Arabic...and since I've been playing with an apothecary persona already...why not, right? And Jibril is the Arabic form of "Gabriel"...which is an excellent name.

==Household==
I also have informally started a personal Household within the Society, which is right now under the "working" name of [[Compagnia dell'Arcangelo Gabriele]] (or Company of the Archangel Gabriel). The Compagnia is founded upon the structure of the lay confraternities of Renaissance Italy, while focusing on the chivalric values of '''Chivalry''' (Courage), '''Honor''' (Honesty), '''Courtesy''' (Magnanimity), '''Charity''' (Generosity, Largesse), '''Justice''' (Mercy), '''Faith''' (Hope), and '''Humility''' (Nobility). These ideals I believe carry a lot of weight and bear great importance to what I believe to be appropriate for courtiers within the SCA.

The Compagnia is also gearing more towards a service Household. The current concept that is being worked with is that the Compagnia will one day be a [[page school]] for adult newcomers to the Society. More information as further developments take place....

Latest revision as of 14:07, 26 October 2007

Introduction

My name is Jibra'il `Attar, a mid-sixteenth century Safavid Persian currently residing in the Shire of Deodar in the Kingdom of Calontir. Among my many interests and pursuits are: costuming, heraldry, glass bead making, herbalism, 'kumihimo' (Japanese cord braiding), target archery, and rapier combat.

Teaching

One of my favorite things to do in the SCA is teach...especially when it comes to teaching Newcomers to the Society. I currently teach the following classes at various RUSH events:

  • Introduction to SCA Heraldry
  • SCA Newcomer's Survival Guide to Camping
  • Sumptuary Laws & Customs of Calontir
  • Basic Persona Development
  • Heraldic Badges: What Are They & How To Use Them
  • Introduction to Glass Bead Making

Alternate Personas

  • Jedediah Glasmon (London, England)

-- Glasmon is in reference to my liking of glasswork...and I've always liked the name Jedidiah.

  • Giudo di Niccolo Brunelleschi (Florence, Italy)

-- This has been my primary SCA persona up until September 2006...at which point I switched to Jibra'il.

Household

I also have informally started a personal Household within the Society, the Compagnia dell'Arcangelo Gabriele (or Company of the Archangel Gabriel). The Compagnia is founded upon the structure of the lay confraternities of Renaissance Italy, while focusing on the chivalric values of Chivalry (Courage), Honor (Honesty), Courtesy (Magnanimity), Charity (Generosity, Largesse), Justice (Mercy), Faith (Hope), and Humility (Nobility). These ideals I believe carry a lot of weight and bear great importance to what I believe to be appropriate for courtiers within the SCA.

The Compagnia is also gearing more towards a service Household. The current concept that is being worked with is that the Compagnia will one day be a page school for adult newcomers to the Society. More information as further developments take place....

Aside from myself, this Household consists of two other individuals at this time:
