Hello and welcome to Ardent Defender. This is my now new WordPress blog platform, as the old AD Blogspot platform blog is now officially retired though i’ll still keep it up there. I usually and often go by name of Galo as its my usual MMORPG name mostly short for Galoheart my most favorite WoW character, however you can also call me “AD” if you like short for Ardent Defender. I often blog comment on other blogs as both so it’s what I often go by as well as a result for my blogging name as a result of my blogging. In RL I’m 38, a professional guy working as an Engineering Technician in the Biotechnology Industry. I happen to also like online games.
My MMORPG life started by accident hearing about a news piece way back in 2003 on Secondlife. I ended up staying and playing the game at that time for 3 years as a Landscape Designer, Modeler and later on a Private Sim Island Owner In Secondlife.
Sometime in 2006 In the break I eventually picked up World of Warcraft (WoW) as something I seemed to be looking for in-game entertainment. I started blogging at exactly that same time as well. There are other MMO’s and many new MMO’s being new to the market all the time and the opportunity to try new games.
Recently I picked up STO or Star Trek Online. Not long ago I picked up playing EVE Online. Space, Astronomy, Cosmology is something of a passion for me in interest. So playing a Sci-Fi game like EVE Online. I record my adventures and my thoughts here in this blog.
I’m a deep thinker thus I write also about my adventures in my Journey traveling through and defending Time, Space and Mystical Realms.
Currently playing: EVE Online, Star Trek Online (Barely, On Life Support)
Games I’ve played: Secondlife, World of Warcraft, Star Trek Online, EVE Online.
Welcome and thanks for visiting here at Ardent Defender.
In EVE Online I play and live the life of a capsuleer character names Ametius. Obviously Galo was already taken, my usual MMO game name. My character is much a combination a Trade Industrialist (like Tony Stark) and an Explorer, with a bit of liking to doing different things such as playing the Markets trading. But I do like to Explore at heart as well. And on the flip side though not a first-rate born killer out to seek blood he’s got his own dark soul and capable of being vigilante like Batman if he needs to be. I see my character as a somewhat combination of both those characters in personality.
My first and main character playing World of Warcraft for over 4 years my lvl 80 Paladin Galoheart (Galo). Should say a Protection Paladin. The only thing I ever did for most my WoW career was playing as a Tank. Loved Tanking. Was only in my later years of WoW I played other characters to minimize the burn out factor. And so I gave life to a few band of brothers ……
My other World of Warcraft Band of Brothers.
My lvl 80 Enhancement Shaman Voodooweaver. Really enjoyed playing a Shaman and all his shamanistic fury. My other right hand man and #1.
My dark alter ego lvl 80 Shadow Priest Darkweaver. Playing a Shadow Priest grew on me in the later years playing WoW. My other #1
My other dark alter ego and lesser played lvl 80 Death Knight Alithas.
My Character from playing Star Trek Online (STO). Tactical Officer, Admiral Galo. His official status where about is “unknown”. Last know status was accepting a special deep space priority and secret mission of utmost importance from Starfleet. No other communications status can be determined of his where about by Starfleet or whether his mission succeeded. Status Unknown.

My Main EVE character “Ametius”. A bit Trader, Industrialist, Researcher, Explorer.
