General Info:

The lower middle class son of a self-made business owner. He is sent to Calthorpe School and doesn't fit in all that well with the posh kids, but soon carves out his own niche. He is put into Study no. 6 with four other friends, who become known as "The Sixers". Later they are joined by Xin Zhou.

He is pretty much an all-round "good egg". The British Empire, the church and the public school honour system are all equally important and he'd not dream of betraying any of them. He's also decently competent at studying, football and cricket, the three most important things in the British public school at the time (though not in that order!).
