Taranaich
The Bleak Moors, Scotland, United Kingdom
Untimely ripped from the womb in a year where gargantuan metal gods who could transform into engines and mechanisms awakened, Al Harron has made it his quest to drink in all he could from the font of that most exciting of genres: adventure! Be it in the unknown pasts of forgotten ages, the grim unknowable future, on worlds beyond worlds and times beyond time: wherever the promise of discovery and daring undertakings may lie, Al will venture.
