René was born in the small nation of Aramitz, an island in the Bay of Biscay of the coasts of France and Spain. He is the eldest son of King Pierre Henri and his first wife the princess Emma Renée of France. When Renée was five years old his mother passed away, giving birth to his brother Pierre Henri, "Henri". His father has recounted to him a number of times that Renée’s mother had a difficult time conceiving, and when she fell pregnant it was the happiest he ever saw her. Renée likes to believe this to be true, though he hardly knows if his father's tale has any truth to it, as he was never able to ask his mother himself.
Not long after his mother's death, his father remarried and sent young René then six to train to squire in France. He felt unwanted by his father, tossed away like an old rag. For the majority of his childhood, he found himself constantly trying to improve himself to win his father’s approval. His step-mother bore five children, by the time René was fifteen. Although he barely knew his step-mother in reality, she was well aware of him and secretly plotted to have René and his brother Henri killed so that her own son would be heir. Although René was quite safe from his step-mother's grasp, Henri was not so fortunate.
His brother was ten years old, when his nursemaids smuggled him out of Aramitz and into France to my Uncle, The King of France's court. It was under my begging that my Uncle agreed to this, but it came at a price. I had proven myself with a sword and bow quite profoundly, my Uncle wanted me to serve in his guard for a time when my training was complete. My father agreed to this whole idea, on the terms that is was to train Henri in the same manner I have been trained in.
My Training was completed a few years later when I turned Nineteen, but I could not return to my beloved homeland. For now I had to serve my uncle's personal guard. At this point I had been away from Aramitz for more then thirteen years. It seemed the natruel choice for Remé, though convincing his father was a harder sell who wanted him to return home, for the second part of his education. His father finerly agreed to the idea, with much reluctence but only after Remé pledged to return to Aramitz in the course of nine years. René agreed to this compramise, and for nine years he served in France.
In that nine year time period, Remé met the fair maid Marrianne D'Blanche the daughter of a lower noble of little intrest to the court. However Remé, had a great intrest in knowing Marrianne better. He never revealed to her his true name wanting him to know him as Remé first. By the end of his nine years in France, he and Marrianne had fallen inlove. His marriage to Marrianne was brief, as she was taken by the plague shortly after their marriage, but a few months before she left this world she gave birth to a daughter, little Marrianne Reneé.
