I am Master Denis, Surgeon to the Marcher Stuarts, although some may say I am a butcher, for I do so like removing limbs. They do not realise how hard and for how long I worked for very low pay to reach such a position.                  

I joined the East India Company and served my apprenticeship under ships master surgeon Ralph Standish sailing from Bristow (Bristol). In later years I served on the merchant ship Hosiander and spent much of my time sailing the east coast  of India.                                                                                                                                   Back

Back in Bristol I took my surgeons sea test and later my surgeons examinations, which then allowed me to display my bleeding bowl. I left Bristol and travelled to the west Marcher lands in 1642 to avoid the Royalist siege of the city. I now work for the Marcher Stuarts and there is much work for me to do as this Civil War brings with it much illness, injurious wounds and plagues. My daughter, Mistress Louise, assists me by supplying herbal remedies and poultices.

During this Civil War I am called upon to be many things, a barber, dentist, physician, as well as musketeer and swordsman.    

In real life Steve is an I.T. Consultant
