- aka "Cheesy Jon"
Persona:
Jon's persona in the SCA took a long time to crystallize, but was eventually derived from his interest in astronomy as the tools and methods that captured his interest were only available at the very end of the SCA period. As such, Jon Chesey is a late 16th century Englishman, the latter son of a lord, releasing him from burdensome expectations of taking over the estate. Instead, Jon was free to travel and pursue his interest in astronomical sciences. He would have studied the works of Ptolemy and Copernicus, learned instrumentation from Brahe.
