Bio: Since medieval times, and possibly going back further, there is a mythical presence that has appeared on festive occasions. First documented in the 14th century alongside Arthurian legends as “The Green Knight”, this strange, otherworldly being of tall stature haunts festivals and occasions of merriment. Appearing suddenly, he offers “contests” that test the mettle and chivalry of those who consider themselves heroes. Those who succeed he acknowledges and grants boons to. Those who fail… meet the blade of his legendary axe. Since medieval times, “The Green Knight” had taken many other monikers, adapting with the times, but slowly growing weaker as chivalry and heroes died out. He’s been a priest, a barkeep, even a carnival barker. It was in this last profession that the being found his salvation, a new form for the contests he was so familiar with; professional wrestling. Here, heroes still existed, and as time went on, their presence only became more pronounced. Since that time, the being now only known as “The Green” has haunted the squared circle. He takes pride in testing wrestlers mettle and leaving in his wake future champions or broken dreams. Now, he comes for Action Wrestling. Only one question remains… who will answer his call?

Attire: Wears forest green tank top with silver accents, similar tights, similar boots. Very simple, no nonsense attire, with only a treant face design on the chest. To the ring, he wears a greenish-gray cloak, dons a mask that looks something like this, and carries a large ax.

Entrance:
The lights go out.
An ancient, gravelly voice reverberates through the arena. “One. Year. Hence.”
The frantic build of Winter by Vivaldi hits the PA, as an image of a tree appears on the screens above the stage. It passes through the seasons, starting in pleasant spring, continuing on to a rainy summer, then a windy autumn, and finally a blizzard of winter. Pale spotlights flicker over the entrance tunnel, as a towering man enters the arena, head held low and covered by his cloak, gripping a large axe. As the first violin solo begins, he lifts his head and the lights stop flickering, revealing the monstrous mask of The Green. He raises his ax, and the lights return to a flicker, darting wildly around the ringside area. He strides down the ramp with purpose, pausing only to glare balefully at the audience.
“From the time of heroes… weighing in at 290 pounds… The Green.”
The Green mounts the ring apron, then steps over the top rope and marches to the center of the ring. He turns his glare to his opponent, raises his ax, then brings it down, the lights flashing at the moment of impact with the canvas, before going dark. Two quick raps of the handle on the canvas, and the lights come up, The Green now in his corner and having removed his mask.
