History
Background
Its not about me. It can't be about me - I'm just a little man wrestling with a big world.
I remember two things from before:
My Family - struggling to make a living in too small a space but laughing, shouting and singing. I think I had three siblings, but in such a small house it might as well have been 12. We knew books were the only way out of this little house for the kids, and that's where I lived. Lots of books, stories, histories
And a great big copper kettle. The smell of hops, and that scary little door. I was small enough to fit in, and when I was done, it smelled like copper again.
But Before isn't as important as now. Now everything has new rules. It got new rules when I was working for old Forge. Things got done in a certain order, at a certain time. No laughing, no smiling, no rest, and no time to stop. Meals pass by, and you eat within the time allotted. No matter what, no matter who. Then I opened my mouth about working like a dog...I had to hunt foxes. I lied, because he thought I enjoyed the hunt more, and was back to the factory after a beating.
Now is about rules - how to make the rules work for us, for the others that escaped. Its like the factories, but the product is recovering escapees.
This is now, and now is better. Have a pint, and we'll discuss. That new kid showed up, stabbed me and ran. So cute. We'll need to get them a place to stay. No, really, you 'll think better after a pint.
Short Timeline:
Short timeline of Satan MacRoche:
Born: Billings, MT 1970 Name: Gilgamesh Michael Lewis Born to: Thorir and Sarah Lewis
Early childhood: Poor, bookish, brewer's son. Too many people, not enough personal space.
Dreams: Wanted to be alone with a big house with some peace and quiet.
Fears: The brewing kettle. Failure. Frogs.
Taking: April 1, 1986 while cleaning the brewing kettle. Replacement took 35 minutes, parents searched kettle, turned their backs, and fetch was replaced.
Across the Hedge: 14 years. Subjective time varies. Escaped 2004 with almost a dozen others in a stolen rowboat. Worked in Gobannus' forges alongside Pat.
Gobannus; Keeper: A one eyed giant that spoke in an Scottish accent and designed his realm around an idealized medieval Scotland He made a group of us he took pump bellows for his forges He gave us a oath, "if you can get through this door you can leave. If you don't I eat you." The weak, small, or tired ones where eaten. The rest kept looking for a way out.
Being Lost: Ole Forge grabbed him before he got through the door, but he slipped free and 'rules are rules'.
I wandered for some time in his demented renfaire before escaping. Most of Satan's memories were stripped in shards by thorns in the Hedge escaping.
What I missed: Fetch had become a successful brewmaster, overcome by fumes cleaning his kettle in 2004
Now: Its the past, its done. Satan, as he's come to call himself, and MacRoche for respect of what he came through - he survived the hard place, he climbed the rock.

"That was before. This isn't there. There are new rules. We'll get you somewhere safe, then you can have a good cry."
"Does this taste stupid to you?"
"Until you've been naked, covered in blood, and waist deep in the carcass of a demonic bear working for the Others: SHUT THE FUCK UP."
