Forrester Family/Bobby

From BattleMaster Wiki

Bobby Forrester, Count of Jagla, Courtier of Tara

Bobby Forrester is the youngest of three brothers. During his youth, he idolized his older brother Camaron. Many of his days were spent "training", which basically involved him watching his brother practice and pretending to do the same with small branches he found lying around. When he was finally old enough to start real training, he advanced quickly in his classes. Although not quite as strong as Camaron, Bobby was quicker, and would quite often win during matches with his brother. When Camaron decided to leave their home for glory in other lands, Bobby took it hard, and felt as if his brother was abandoning him. But, when Camaron charged him with protecting their home, Bobby could not have been more honored. Since the day his brother left, he has done everything he can to prove his worth to his family (and brother should he return.)

So far Bobby has fought in few small campaigns, but his first major battle did not go as planned. An enormous army of monsters and undead had invaded Tara, and the entire Taran army marched out to stop them. Bobby had managed to turn his men into a crack unit who's loyalty was unquestionable, and as soon as the battle began they charged the undead horde without fear. Twenty eight of his thirty men died that day, with one other succumbing to wounds later. Bobby later rebuilt the unit and led them to victory in battles all across Tara.

After many years of unwavering support of his realm, Bobby was invited to serve in Tara's special forces unit, Die Armee Der Kühe. Shortly after receiving this great honor, another was bestowed when he was offered the lordship of Alcatil.

Shortly after Tara's capital was moved from Foda to Aja, Bobby realized that he would have to make a choice between serving in the Die Armee Der Kühe, or maintaining his region. While he knew he would miss the glory of battle, the needs of his people were more important. Bobby decided to leave the special forces and join the Homeland Defense army in order to better serve the needs of his people and his realm. Over the next several months, he and his unit worked closely with the people of Alcatil in order to gain their respect and loyalty. When the call came from the leadership of Tara that a bureaucrat was needed, Bobby was the perfect choice to step into this role as his ongoing efforts at region maintenance had prepared him well for this position.

Months went by as Bobby focused himself on learning his new trade and keeping Alcatil, and the rest of his Duchy, in working order. One day, while working in his office, he recieved a summons to speak with his leige, Ragnar, Lord of Foda. Lord Ragnar had recieved a message claiming that Bobby no longer wished to be the lord of Alcatil and to replace him at once. Unfortunately, as he was unable to disprove the message quickly enough, Bobby was removed from his position. A few days later, the man who wrote the letter was found and it was proved to be a fake. As a new lord had already be placed over Alcatil, Bobby was saddened to find out that he would be unable to have his old position back. Fortunately, the region of Jagla was currently without a ruler, and the title of Lord of Jagla was offered to Bobby, which he graciously accepted.
