Who is "Athoria" and why do they play games?

Meet Athoria the Rouge 

Athoria is a D&D Advanced character created by Athoria Games owner, Patrick Hug in the early 90s. 

Athoria is Chaotic-Good, with a folk hero background. Tales of Athoria's daring heists enrage the local nobles and amuse the townsfolk as they gather to shop and gossip in the village square. Amongst Athoria's favorite past times is rolling dice at the local tavern or placing a wager on the outcome of an adventure. Always a risk taker and gamer, who better to headline?
