Rose
Rose the Nose started playing MD in ‘93 with the San Diego crew, including Diocletian, Jerry, Wulf, Sweet, and Slice (Mephisto started the next year). He was the third necromancer (after Pipeur and Vector), though the only one to be playing at the time. Early in his mortal life he worked for Andre’s and was a member of the Clowns. He then became owner of Eidolon’s, where he became famous for making the highest quality shields in the realms. He was one of the founding members of Darkside, and led the feared wolf packs in the Darkside vs. DK/Hawaii war. Rose’s pack claimed many mortal lives, including one thief who went by the name of Hoax, and was later resurrected by the Dark One as a necromantic warrior who followed in the footsteps of his slayer.
Rose became a wizard in early ‘95 with Flash Whirlwind, the one-eyed monk. Together with Flash, he recoded Indel (to its present form). His apprenticeship project was the Indel Casino. He inherited the running the sects from Elrohir and witnessed the audacity of the Hawaiian Hostile Takeover.
In ‘96 Rose left the wizardhood, though was invited to return in ‘99 when MD had a more stable home. He took over the positions of Questmaster and Classmaster and helped modernize the codebase for the move to version 7.
