Background

Lord Brenchley grew up in what he assumes is the typical life of a Viscount. His parents doted on him. He was popular with all the other boys. He attended Eton and Oxford where he did exceedingly well. And then he began a life of leisure. He gambled and was in the petticoat line with several “ladies” on whom he was known to spend much time and money. He was a whip who drives to an inch and is a member of the Four-Horse Club known for dangerous races and reckless bets. When his father died he was needed in the West Indies to resolve some matters of business. After arriving in Barbados he met Mireille Forsyte, a wealthy Mulatto whose dowry was more than enough to pay off his gambling debts. He decided to marry her not only because he was in dun territory but also because after a drunken night of entertainment he had made a bet with one of his friends at White’s that he would marry a native on his journey. He thought it providence that Miss Forsyte’s father’s plantation was so near to his (they bordered each other). A rich black wife fit his needs perfectly. He knew that his mother would not be especially pleased, but she would accept it. Miss Forsyte had perfect manners, very pretty address, all the expected accomplishments, and was always elegantly dressed. Not to mention she was the prettiest black female that he had ever seen.

Soon after the marriage Lord Trevethyn was contacted by an agent of the King about a secret mission to uncover clues to a treacherous plot regarding the East India Company. They thought that his ability to manage native people would be of use to their objective. Since Lord Brenchley was growing bored and missing the diversions of London and it paid well he accepted the job. He was observing a few of the residents of the Islands under the alias of Miles Wexley. and was forced to delay his return to London for a few years. He grew to know his wife and love her dearly for all of the support she offered though she did not know what he was working so hard on. He had two children with her and was ecstatic when she presented him with an heir first. One evening he received orders that the information that he had uncovered revealed that it was necessary for him to continue his observations on a voyage to India. To protect his wife and children from a scandal that he believed would ensue if he just went off and was killed on this dangerous mission, he requested assistance in faking his death so that his family could move on without him sooner rather than later.

His assignment took much loner than the anticipated six months and he had hoped to return to his family while they were in mourning. Their removal to London has created a large problem for him.
