Geek Cred: Baalesh was a Professional lecturer and Workshop coordinator, working the North East college circuit for over 8 years, within a myriad of topics including philosophy, obscure religions, metaphysics, psychology, and cultural anthropology/ subculture studies. He found peace and solace as a martial artist for 11 years, winning national ranks in numerous divisions over the years. During his life, Baalesh won many State sealed deck REVISED MtG tournaments, was an accomplished poet with frequent publications under several pseudonyms/pennames, and will always be remembered as the Jack of all Trades in the DO XIII.

Geek Accomplishments: Had a PC change his legal name in RL to his character name, coxed a PC to commit suicide in a 3 hour side section, and also watched all 3 Lord of the Rings movies extended edition back to back and then played Exalted, worked a 12 hour shift, then played OWOD Mage without sleep. Was a costume designer for a prominent LARP for 2 years, which gave him the credentials to be hired for designing the attire for two Death Metal videos in 2001 and 2002. He will be known and thought of always as an avid gorilla theater actor, as well as for his fondly recalled antics, like when he played a Turetsky Bass Concerto for his Senior Recital during his college, with only pair of chopsticks.
