Vice President – Legendary ONYX
Legendary ONYX has been a full brother of ONYX Midwest since last year. However, in 2018, he was introduced to “Project VIDA” by Voudou and Cheshire. That was the place he subbed in his first public scene with our former Vice President, Al. After that moment, he knew he enjoyed subbing for public scenes. In 2023, he is the judge’s boy for Leatherman of Color.
He is honored to be serving on a board with his line brother, Subzero. We were the COVID line and “Rays of Light.” We hope to shine light to the community. As the Vice President of ONYX Midwest, it is his goal to empower our community, educate them on kinks and leather, and help others explore their knowledge.

Treasurer – Legionnaire ONYX
Legionnaire is currently serving ONYX/Midwest as Treasurer. Having been a member for over 20 years, he has always been in a position of leadership in the Midwest Chapter. Legionnaire started his leather journey in Germany where he first experienced leather as a submissive, learning kink life at his daddy’s side. Those early experiences definitely prepared him for continuing his fetish life explorations with ONYX. ONYX has provided the opportunity for many experiences. Along with a strong desire to further the goals of ONYX, Legionnaire also appreciates the family of leather folk provided as a long standing member which culminated in having the Legionnaire Award ceased in his honor at ONYX’ 20th Anniversary celebration.
