Sir Robert De Lousen, 31, is somewhat of a latecomer to the ranks of the peerage. Born on the King’s riverside manor of Loxton in Kaldor, near the Royal Castle of Olokand, Robert was the eldest of three children born to Roban, a successful riverboat pilot, and his wife Lisette. Robert’s happy-go-lucky early days were spent learning some of the river’s crafts, but due to the frequent absences of his father, he also spent a lot of time pursuing other activities. Luckily, the bailiff of Loxton was a man of letters, and he saw to it that young Robert’s youthful energies were channelled into productive activities, and he soon discovered that as well as being a strong ambidextrous athlete, the young lad had an excellent ability at the learned arts and a companionable disposition. When Robert reached the age of twelve, the bailiff, Hough of Martre, suggested to Roban that he, Hough, see if he could get the young lad esquired. Enquiries were made, and the young lad was sent of to Esenor Per Saltire Sable and Argent, Saltire Gules, for training. Chief Azure with three Garb Tenne Crest a Gryphon’s head erased vert.
