''to | Lord Byron is one of the more enigmatic figures of the 18th and 19th century - a poet extraordinare who somewhat famously died in 1824 and his pickled corpse shipped to England. | ||
Pressed into service for the Star Chamber at an early age, Byron's first appointment for the Chamber was a trip through Europe (given the appearance of a fashinable trek through the continent) to discover the truth of rumours that the Mal'akh were gaining a foothold in Eastern Europe and the border between Europe and Asia. During the journey, Byron encountered the Mal'akh (in an incident dubbed the "Maltese incident") and left the Chamber for Faction Paradox shortly afterwards. Six years later, Byron was exiled from England and forced to live in the Shelley Cabal until the Cabal was attacked by the Mal'akh seven years later. | |||
Two years later, Byron supposedly died. This death was actually faked by Byron using a duplicate corpse and entered into the Eleven-Day Empire. Though he is an elder Cousin in all but name, Byron's tendencies towards the theatrical grates on the nerves of even the most theatrical of the other Faction members. | |||
