Although no one here is puzzled by my name… Adhemar was a bishop who went on one of the crusades in 1098 thus is was a Cleric in the RPG sense. I used it for a game and then liked it enough to use it here. Also want to point out I am NOT Adaher and predate him on the message board by a few months. It is rather disquieting when someone pits Adaher. ---

Most places I go by my nickname (first syllable in my last name), but I must have been feeling puckish the day I registered here and must have just re-read of of the stories.
