Second son of a Scottish Noble, he was fostered by his mother's brother in Sussex where his Gift was noticed by his Gentle Gifted Paren.  James also had the Gentle Gift but the act of opening him to the Arts caused him to lose it, shaming his Paren. (This happens occasionally and is called the 'great disappointment' within House Jerbiton.) For this reason James never grew close to his Pater who did his yearly duty per the Code but left James mostly unsupervised while he taught his mundane students at Oxford.

Second son of a Scottish Noble, he was fostered by his mother's brother in Sussex where his Gift was noticed by a Gentle Gifted Jerbiton who abducted him.  James also had the Gentle Gift but the act of opening him to the Arts caused him to lose it, shaming his paren who traded his flawed apprentice for a Rook of Vis days into his apprenticeship.
 +
 
 +
James was adopted by a Flambeau who saw James's warrior spirit. Though his new pater chosen school was that of the Founder, James flaws made this impossible so he trained him in the schools of Ramius and Vilano.  Toward this end, James was allowed to fight in tournaments is the guise of the mysterious Black Knight.  He'd never take armor or mounts, and those surrendered always disappeared at dawn.  James managed to keep his identity secret and avoid the reputation associated with his knightly persona, but he did manage to annoy many a Norman knight who to this day hold a grudge against the Black Knight.

 +
James aptitude with horses earned him the name Caballus even before he had past his Gauntlet.
  
−
James surprised his Pater by passing his Gauntlet on his first try by crafting a beautiful and detailed model of his Pater's Covenant from a block of ebony (EF 24), after which he summoned a large black steed and rode off never to return.  (In fact he could never return because his Pater moved to Paris after the Covenant dissolved in 1209 with the University's closing.)

Background

Second son of a Scottish Noble, he was fostered by his mother's brother in Sussex where his Gift was noticed by a Gentle Gifted Jerbiton who abducted him. James also had the Gentle Gift but the act of opening him to the Arts caused him to lose it, shaming his paren who traded his flawed apprentice for a Rook of Vis days into his apprenticeship.

James was adopted by a Flambeau who saw James's warrior spirit. Though his new pater chosen school was that of the Founder, James flaws made this impossible so he trained him in the schools of Ramius and Vilano. Toward this end, James was allowed to fight in tournaments is the guise of the mysterious Black Knight. He'd never take armor or mounts, and those surrendered always disappeared at dawn. James managed to keep his identity secret and avoid the reputation associated with his knightly persona, but he did manage to annoy many a Norman knight who to this day hold a grudge against the Black Knight.

James aptitude with horses earned him the name Caballus even before he had past his Gauntlet.
