Native Duchy: Born in Benthey
History: When Madge Darnley discovered that she was pregnant, she paniced. Madge was an unwed young woman with two illegitimate children already. She lived alone, and was trying to make a living as a seamstress. However, she had other means of making a few silver peices here and there, but she never expected to have another child. Robert was born in the middle of winter, and his mother was soon found to be ill. The oldest child was only six, and had no means of feeding the family. A friend of Madge's took Robert and the others to find a home, any home that would spare a scrap of food and a space to sleep for the small children. An elderly Catholic couple took Robert in. Robert grew up without ever knowing his real parents, partially because Madge had no way of knowing who Robert's father really was. He lived happily, and learned to read from his elderly guardians. The winter he turned twelve, tragedy stuck; his elderly caretakers passed away from cold and old age. Robert was left alone in their little house, living off of what he had left, but he had no money. Robert packed up what he could carry on his back and set out to live in the forest. He sson became accustomed to hunting from the forest, but hunting and gathering wasn't enough for a growing young man. Robert cultivated an art of theivery, and soon discovered that, with his looks, he could charm a young lady out of her purse. When he was about 24, Robert fell in love with a courtier named Elizabeth. He visited her at night and they talked of eloping together. Elizabeth belonged to an ambitious family, and her father betrothed her to another man. There was no way out of it. She was married, and Robert couldn't even come to the wedding. After the ceremony, as her husband was being escrted to her bed, Elizabeth hung herself from the window. Robert saved all her letters to him, and hid his misery in the beds of other women. Over the years, Robert developed many aliases, but his friends had given him a name: Robert Quicksilver. They dubbed him as such because of his fast-talking trickster ways, and his skill with the ladies. So Robert lives in the forest with the theives.
Parents: Mother: Madge Darnley Father: Unknown

Personality: Robert doesn't have an eye for the ladies in looks alone. He has a smooth, fast-talking demeanor that can charm any lady out of her jewels, or out of her dress. He's sneaky and daring, but he's wild, and uncivilized. Robert is a natural leader-of-the-pack kind of guy, and he's definitely the biggest show-off in Adesia, and he'll admit it. He's very easy to befriend, but so easy to be fooled by. He likes good-looking women, good ale, mead, the like, and a good bonfire party. Robert hates rich stuck-ups, gates, and teases of the female kind.

Roleplay Sample: It started raining for what must've been the tenth time that day. The rain wasn't caught by the trees, and it doused Robert's fire, for the tenth time that day. Robert looked up at the sky like he was about to shoot it with an arrow. Bandit barked in what must've been a dog's laugh. "Well Bandit, looks like we're eatin' cold today," Robert said. He tossed the dog a peice of bread, which the dog devoured greedily. "Y'know," Robert said, "if you keep eating like that, we're going to have to get ourselves into town more often."
Thunder sounded over thier heads. Robert packed up again, scattered the remains of the fire, and they found a sheltered spot to rest until the rain stopped. Bandit fell asleep on Robert's leg whilst Robert read his collection of letters. He had all of her letters memorized, and the pages were so worn from use. He felt like he could feel her ghost right beside him; he could almost feel her warm arm around his shoulder.
Other: It's Cat, who plays Catalina Vera. I promised I work on it once school was over. Well, it's over and I still have a 4.0 GPA.
I wasn't sure if you were finished or not but I have a couple thoughts in the meanwhile; You have Pemberton placed in this title but he is native to Benthey, so perhaps Duchess Elspeth should approve this. Benthey is a protestant duchy as is Pemberton so I wasn't sure about the elderly catholic couple.
His class would be commoner.
