History

PDG was founded in 2008 by Bufftp in the now defunct browser game Warpfire. The clan dominated Warpfire and grew to over 300 members spanning 5 different games. Bufftp led the clan with a strong, quiet leadership that touched the lives of everyone he spoke with. He was admired greatly by friend and foe alike. As the development of Warpfire floundered, people left the game in droves leaving communication between the clan spread across the different games sparse. In 2011 Bufftp died leaving the clan scattered across the web. After his death, Bufftp's second in command at the height of PDG's glory, Chiraldragon (aka LeviathanX) established PDG in Spiral Knights and endeavors to continue his legacy of leadership, camaraderie and mentoring in honor of his fallen brother.
