Early Life
Sir Botheric was born at Tisbury, in Salisbury to his father Alaric and his mother Jacqueline. At a young age Sir Botheric was sent away to Tolosa, the family's ancestral home, to be educated in the traditional Occitanian ways. He returned to Salisbury, was squired in 479 and trained by Sir Elad of Vagon. He earned his knighthood in 485 after he and his companions dealt successfully with a wild bear which had been terrorizing a village, and some local bandits who tried to waylay the group. The adventure proved formative, and the band eventually took the name The Ursine Brotherhood because of it.

After being knighted in 485, Sir Botheric took control of his family estate at Tisbury and proved himself a capable administrator. Development and fortification of the estate has been near-constant, while still maintaining the love and admiration of his resident peasants.
