Lance's Orders

Needless to say, at his core, Lance is very much a knight-in-shining-armour, and that being said, he has belonged to several Orders over the centuries. Here are the most notable ones:

Sacred Military Constantinian Order of Saint George [A/N: As a Roman Legionnaire, Lance Titus served with Constantine and was at the Battle of the Milvian Bridge in 312AD. This is also his tongue-in-cheek reason for living in St. George, Staten Island, NY]

Sovereign Military Hospitaller Order of Saint John of Jerusalem, of Rhodes, and of Malta [A/N: aka Knights Hospitaller and/or Knights of Malta. While with the Hospitallers, Lance learned carpentry and helped to build hospitals, hostels and fortifications. His love of architecture and building is still part of his personality and it's part of why he loves renovating older homes.]

Knight of Columbus [A/N: Again, Lance's involvement and faith in the Church is very strong to this day.]

Robyn Hode

With Russell Crowe's movie about Robin Hood set to come out sometime next year, I thought it only appropriate that I post my own notes on how Lance found himself created Sir Robin of Loxley.

From Wikipedia:
* Richard I occupied Sicily from 10/1190 to 03/1191
* Richard and Tancred exchanged gifts; Richard gave Tancred a sword which he claimed was Excalibur, the sword of King Arthur. {coughs}

How This Relates to Robin Hood (Author's Assumptions)
* The story of Robin takes place during the reign of King John I, who was Richard's brother
* Though a Hospitaller, Lance finds himself aligned with Richard
* He ends up travelling with Richard to the Holy Lands and involved in the Third Crusade
* Richard receives word that John has had him declared dead and has taken the throne
* Creates Lance "Robin of Loxley" and sends him back to England to somehow overthrow John
* Lance gets to England and finds another Immortal embroiled in John's court under the assumed name of "Maid Marian".
* The rest, as they say, is history


This is, of course, subject to change once the movie is released.

Rebooting Lance / Character Q&A

I know Lance hasn't exactly been super active. Even from the beginning, he has always been quiet, reserved and even a bit aloof. So, I'm hoping to dust him off by way of reformatting his layout and posting some more extensive character information.
