Old Æmber

Croc, born in the woodland greens of the Scottish Highlands, was exiled from his homeland after the slaughter of his clan. The only survivors of the massacre were young Croc, Krit, and Cass, the last of the Æmber Clan. Croc Æmber now stands as a hooded strider that is most often found fighting alongside his brother, Krit. After his exile, Croc left his family and went off to sea with his future mentor, Korbin the Mad. Croc was once the Ordinator of House Dunamai, which was a noble house centered around the Dunamai family. Korbin the Mad, leader of Dunamai, trained Croc when he was young and taught him how to properly fight with single-handed maces. After a year of immense pain, repetitive technique, and maturity on the field, Croc gained vast knowledge of the maces he wielded. Soon after the end of his training, Korbin and Croc were drawn apart in battle, and Croc soon returned to the Æmber. After growing tired of "hiding" behind a shield, the young ranger began training with two-handed weapons that could break down the shield, armor, and will of his opponents, which was truly something that could be respected. Æmber symbolizes the teamwork and brotherhood of Croc and Krit Æmber. While Croc stands at the frontline fighting hand-to-hand, Krit watches their defense as an archer. Occasionally, both Æmber charge into battle, sword 'n board. When not in battle, Croc spends most of his time training, crafting greater equipment, and hunting bugbear for their pelts. Croc now travels in regions such as the flat, simple plains of Muxlovia, to the dense forests in the mountains of First Dawn seeking out masters of Red.

Real World

Croc, born Jacob Avo, began Belegarth in October 25, 2009, after meeting Nathan Strickland, also known as Korbin the Mad. He attended both group and individual practices in Crest Hill, IL. After Korbin moved away in 2010, Jake still participated in Belegarth. In late 2011, Croc moved away and formed Old Æmber with his greatest friend and blood-brother, and continued training at practices, events, and one-on-one spars. Currently, Jake aspires to become a greater fighter in The Order.
