[Sca-cooks] about Bishop Geoffrey d'Ayr

Beg to differ, Phil; I was there, and Bish usually was wearing "clerical informal" - cassock edged with purple, and skullcap ditto.  He never put on the Mass vestments, though, and was always respectful to the Church.  (Anglican, since he was married and had a late period persona.)  His uncle, the Roman cardinal (an alternate persona), dressed similarly, but in red.

Regards and memories,
Brekke

Actually, it's pretty likely that the herald character in Romero's
movie is _based_ on Bish, if you work on the idea that that movie is
based on the saga of the Eastern Debatable Crown, which led to the
founding of MSR's Kingdom of Acre.

It should also be noted that all the flak was years and years ago,
when people were less sensitive to the political correctness urge. I
don't think Bishop Geoffrey really used the Bishop as his primary
persona; it's not mentioned, so far as I know, in his registered name
or device.
