Bhakdar is a warrior and sage. Enduring the extinction of the rest of his tribe, Bhakdar became a forest dwelling aestetic. Cultivating his path as a mystic, he lives in simplicity and sharing the way of nature.

Following wars across the lands of Nan Belegorn, Tir Asleen, Chamonix, Wolfpack, Numenor, and surrounding shires, Bhakdar took up his weapons, wares, and battle knowledge and began traveling as a mercenary trainer.

Bhakdar's Academy became an integrated vision of teaching the next generation of foam fighting, assisting emerging realms, and working towards permanent settlements of warrior training grounds. Academy pursuits have included training with Dun Abhon, Ruhn, Beornve, Tir Na Nog, Babylon, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, and numerous warriors ranging from novice to elite.

As a number of Bhakdar's quests took him on vast pilgrimages to the lands of Chaos, he began falling in love with the great West, as well as a fiesty young swan princess named Sipris. Eventually a sequence of hermitages resulted in laying new foundations in the empire of Babylon where he now resides.

Bhakdar's Academy still exists on a modest scale throughout Belegarth by distribution of training materia and teleportation to trainings and festivals in the plains. Additionally, he continues training with groups and producing arsenal gear for realms throughout the greater region of the Babylonian Empire.

Dubbed Headhunter at the climax of the third Armageddon, Mekoot Bhakdar joined the elite guard of Izareth's monster hordes. Now Bhakdar maintains a sense of kinship with the Horde as well as House Hellhammer with whom he was previously alligned, however has begun a new energy in foamfighting known as Catalyst.

Catalyst is a unit local to the greater Babylonian Empire focused on being agents of change and creative action in foam fighting. They share a common mission of excelling and diversifying their own skills, training future generations of warriors, and contributing their creative crafts and talents to Belegarth. Catalyst, emerging from Western Wars 2010, is currently a small unit building a strong foundation. Membership spans across Cronus, Tir Na Nog, Babylon, and the Hanging Gardens. Long term goals may include hosting of events that integrate warriorship and music, hosting public trainings, and investing in a permanent event site.

Beyond the boundaries of Belegarth, Bhakdar was invited to instruct warriors at Amtgard's Sword Knight Boot Camp in 2009 and returned again as a guest instructor in 2010. Seeing Amtgard sword knights get hard-ons for kicking and shield bashing intrigued him to continue sharing his art and learning theirs. Now, notions of pursuing the status of warlord and sword knight within the Kingdom of Blackspire intrigue him.
