Ian "Mile-High" Samuel

The Rocky Mountains are the home region of Ian "Mile High" Samuel. More than just the inspiration for his nickname, they are also the One True Source of his power, lending the strength of peaks, and the fertility of valleys. He was trained in the art of ping pong by the foremost ping-pong player to ever come from the region, "Wild Bill" Elway, the third cousin of football god John Elway.

"Big-city play is nothing compared to how we do it in the Wild West," Samuel often remarks. "Out there, there are tiny bombs in the ping-pong balls which explode and kill anyone foolish enough to topspin."

The high-oxygen, low-altitude play of New York has been challenging for this competitor so far. But few doubt that he is the greatest ping pong player on the face of the Earth.
