Master Damascus and slave Demir have been on their leather journey together since 2014, when they first connected with the Daddy/boy community in Dallas, Texas. Since then, their dynamic has evolved into a deeply rooted Master/slave relationship. Together, they embody service, integrity, and joyful chaos.

Both proud transgender men, they are committed to bridging the gap between the M/s and queer communities—bringing visibility, education, and authentic representation to the spaces they serve. Damascus, a Marine Corps veteran, mental health advocate, and little, is known for his quiet strength, unwavering values, and deep compassion. Demir, a loyal and vibrant slave, brings joy, anticipation, and a healthy dose of puppy mischief to their dynamic. Their connection blends discipline, love, and laughter in a way that is both grounded and powerful.

They are members of MAsT Colorado Springs, Voodoo Leatherworks, the National Leather Association, and honorary members of Arlington Leather United. Together, they founded Haus Valhalla and created Leather and Lager, a monthly event at the Denver Eagle aimed at uniting the leather, kink, and M/s communities in an inclusive and welcoming space.

When not engaged in leather life, you’ll find them adventuring outdoors with their fur-kids, supporting fellow veterans and kinksters, or spending time with their “spawns.” Their journey is rooted in service, visibility, and the belief that growth and connection transcend identity, experience, and background.

Sir Prussian Fyre (He/Him) and his collared Slave, Lucky Fyre (they/she/it), live together in Houston, Texas. With nearly three decades of combined experience in the Leather, BDSM, and alternative lifestyle communities, they are your Current and Inaugural 2025 Texas Master and slave titleholders they have a passion for authenticity, service, and growth within the M/s path.

Sir Prussian Fyre entered the scene in 2010 as the collared slave of Miz Lilly, and in 2020, topped over into Mastery. An artist, Sadist, hedonist, proud envelope-pusher and door kicker, he thrives on challenge, impact, and transformation. His passions include fire and blood, but his true power lies in the way he holds space with both strength and tenderness. A Leatherman, Army veteran, husband, father, and Primal Master, Prussian is dynamic, grounded, and deeply intentional.

Lucky Fyre joined the lifestyle in 2013 as a Daddy and Top, but by 2016, found profound purpose in community and earned submission. Since 2017, they have fully embraced life as a Primal Slave. Identifying as a genderfluid, queer, energy-sexual, rainbow bottom, and degradation trollop, Lucky is also a leather girl, bonus mom, wife, and community covered Slave. Their passions include trauma-informed kink, authority exchange, and cultivating radically honest relationships rooted in consent and connection.

Together, Prussian and Lucky co-founded Lion’s Lair Leather Club, a space dedicated to building an inclusive, intergenerational Leather community. They also host the Dynamic Empowerment Nexus (D.E.N.), a podcast and event series focused on real, raw conversations around Total Authority Exchange and Leather. Through education, storytelling, and connection, they open their doors—and their hearts—to those walking or questioning the M/s path with intention.

As educators, they teach edge play and authority exchange with deep respect for consent, safety, and personal truth. Their core philosophy—“The Mess in M/s”—goes far beyond a class title. It’s the way they live. It means showing up in the hard moments, owning imperfection, and modeling a path where grace and grit walk hand in hand. They believe that the most impactful leadership starts with vulnerability, and that messy, honest living creates space for others to breathe, grow, and belong.

Whether through a microphone, a dungeon, or a quiet one-on-one moment, Prussian and Lucky strive to serve with humility, humor, and heart. They proudly uplift the voices often left out— such as trans and Nonbinary, BIPOC voices, Bootblacks, volunteers, and a special soap box for “demo bottoms”. For them, Leather and M/s are not a look—they are a legacy. And they are honored to walk with scars, sparkles, and all.
