Canterbury Slums Massacre, an incident where the small village outside of Canterbury called Canterbury Slums burned to the ground. After an investigation by the Canterbury Militia, it was found that William Pileo hired a man to murder his wife. The man lit the Pileo household on fire to hide the evidence of murder and is assumed to have taken 3-year-old Benjamin, for his body was never found. Further investigation found four dead bodies of local teenagers, one of them a soldier for the Sussex Army, the cause of deaths were wounds caused by a sword and two other deaths caused by the fire. The Man was never brought to justice and William Pileo escaped, but however, was found dead a decade later in his home in Offenburg, Germany on his birthday in 1454.

After the incident, Thomas and Sketin moved to Canterbury to live off the locals via thievery and deceit. They joined a local gang that split after a robbery-gone-bad, living several dead and a betrayed Sketin in custody of Sussex County. As punishment, Sketin was sentenced to 8 years of hard-labor on an English Royal Galleon and was only to be payed in food and board.


Punishment[]

Sketin started on the bottom rank, slowly raising up to pay after a course of 6 years. The galleon was posted on the Mediterranean Sea and often made trade voyages between England and Italy. It was through this, Sketin's social skills developed. When in port, Sketin socialized with the local children, even though he didn't speak their language, by playing games.

Liam after his biological father and Phoenix to represent a fresh new beginning in life. Liam has little memory of his previous parents and life. He finds many mother figures in his many female cousins, who are known to 'baby' him. Even though Sketin has a high profile family background, he raises Liam low-key, preferring to live in a small cottage outside of Canterbury, instead of the prestigious building he inherited as Viscount of Canterbury.
