User:Lord Coyotus

Lord Coyotus is the username of Chris Grant, a Star Wars fan since 1977 when seeing the original movie (later dubbed "A New Hope") in theaters. A native of Boise, Idaho, 'Lord Coyotus' has seen each movie "innumerable times" and was primarily fascinated by the behind-the-scenes artwork of concept designers such as Ralph McQuarrie.

Lord Coyotus has written his own graphic novel, a military science fiction project called "Empires: the Ace of Spades" that is not related to Star Wars but with some obvious influences. He has served in the US Army since 1986 as an Infantryman, in Intelligence, as an M1A1 tank crewman and most recently as a Combat Engineer squad leader while deployed to Iraq in 2004-2005 where he did the daily "Bohica Blues" comic for the 2nd BCT of the 1st Cavalry Division in Camp Victory, Baghdad.

Coyotus has lived in Israel for 4 years, attending Ben-Gurion University in Beer-Sheva and doing archaeology in the Negev Desert and Nabatean caves near the town of Kiryat Gat. He has a degree in History from the College of Idaho and currently lives in Boise, Idaho with his wife, a dog, and a cat.
