	Gilbertus is a Norman from the city of Messina in the Kingdom of Sicily. His ~~father,~~ Coiffus ~~served as~~ a ~~huntsman~~ to the ~~lord~~ of ~~Messina~~. ~~His mother was~~ a ~~woman named Jālida who worked~~ in the ~~court~~. Gilbertus would've lived during the reigns of the first two kings of Sicily, Roger II and William I, during a period of expansion of the kingdom's presence on the global stage. Gilbertus may have first been bloodied during Roger's campaigns in North Africa, which resulted in the eventual conquest of Tunis and Tripoli. He also might have joined in some raids against the Byzantine Empire during the 2nd Crusade. [[File:Gilbertus fighting at Jotun.jpg\|thumb\|Gilbertus and Tertius battling during the Roman Roll tournament at Jotunstaor II\|center]]		Gilbertus is a Norman from the city of Messina in the Kingdom of Sicily. His parents were a minor Norman lord named Coiffus and a daughter of a prominent local merchant, Jālida. They were wealthy enough to guarantee that Gilbertus had access to a good education and comfortable living. However he was the youngest of several sons, so he was destined to a life either as a civil servant or in the church. After spending some time at a monastery in southern Italy, he chose a different path. He escaped the monastery and hopped on a pirate ship that was outfitting for war and was soon to set sail. On this ship he discovered a taste for adventure that he had been missing his entire life to this point.

			Gilbertus would've lived during the reigns of the first two kings of Sicily, Roger II and William I, during a period of expansion of the kingdom's presence on the global stage. Historically Gilbertus may have first been bloodied during Roger's campaigns in North Africa, which resulted in the eventual conquest of Tunis and Tripoli. He also might have joined in some raids against the Byzantine Empire during the 2nd Crusade.

	When he returned he started a small sea trading outfit in Palermo and he sails the routes from Sicily around the western Mediterranean. Regularly visiting cities like, Tunis, Valencia, Genoa and Marseilles among others. His military experience is crucial to the success of his business, he gained knowledge about sailing and which routes, and created a personal network of officials and merchants in many ports he visits. When times are slow he still takes up is sword and ship for more piratical activities. Seeking more adventure he sailed further and further west, beyond the gates of the Mediterranean. Eventually he found himself in a new world, the Outlands.		When he returned he started a small sea trading outfit in Palermo and he sails the routes from Sicily around the western Mediterranean.
