Alexander and Zachary - Characters - W. Scott Simmons Portfolio

Alexander & Zachary

Alexander started out as a 17th Century gentleman who knew one end of a rapier from the other. Following a strange series of events involving impressive light effects and the disembodied voice of someone named Bill, he moved to the 21st Century to teach western martial arts to the natives. He's still very adept at putting the pointy end in the other fellow, and he remains gallant with the ladies, reasonably proficient with a turn of verse, and an elegant dresser.

Zachary is another swordsman who has the disadvantage of always being one lesson behind Alexander. No matter how well Zach learned his previous lesson, Alex still manages to put a sword through his head (neck, torso, arm, leg, etc.) in the current lesson. Luckily, Zach heals quickly and has a good sense of humor about the whole thing.
