Stanley J. Mikolajek
Stanley is best known for his role in the Battle of Evermore, in which he was not wounded, was not captured, and most likely did not participate in. Although not directly involved in the fighting, it is believed that Stanley watched the battle from a safe distance with the Angels of Avalon, sitting atop a mountain orchard, scanning the valley below while waiting for the eastern glow.
