Born in August 1079, in Kent, England to a Norman father and Saxon mother.

At age 12 my father fell ill while on crusade and died while en route home. My mother was remarried to his Brother and gave birth to a son who was named heir.

Having lost both father and my birthright I rebelled against my Stepfather's wishes to enter the church and left home with little else save my wits and began my travels to seek my fortune.

I have spent time in many a strange land and worked for diverse masters, serving each as best I could and swapping service for education and what odds and ends they could spare.

Of late I have found good company and fine fellowship in the Shire Of Arenal and hope that, one day soon, I may settle within its boundaries.

On the mundane side I am a well travelled Brit, born just south of London who escaped the dreary clutches of my homeland in September 2011 to find fame and fortune in the USA.

I now reside in the wonderful environs of the Shire of Arenal where I find fine food and better company.
