Bio: Lord Robert van Skittles is an 19th century nobleman, of the age of 42, who happened to live in England. He is an eccentric fellow, who follows a quasi-code of chivalry. It is not known if he is actually English, however, as he just randomly showed up outside of a deli in Southampton on the cold day of December 14, 1846. No one knows where he came from; some believe England, others America, a few point to Bavaria, and one rather eccentric (drunk) dock worker even claims that van Skittles is a Greco-Danish hit-man. What is even more mysterious is his amazing swordsmanship and seemingly superhuman reflexes, the likes of which the European world has never seen. Still, these skills have proven very useful, as evidence in his participation in the defeat of Swedish Imperial forces during the crucial Battle of Bombay in the Second Anglo-Swedish War in 1852. This earned him a knighthood and minor lordship, as well as permanent employment to the British Crown.
On April 23, 1865, while out hunting in the fields near his estate outside Oxford, the ground beneath van Skittles suddenly opened up, and before he could react, he was flung from his world and deposited... somewhere. The mysterious man is in a mysterious land, and he needs to figure out how to get home.
