Richard Travert was born in North Antille into a military family to two retired military members, Aldéric, a heavy infantryman, and Jacqueline, a scout, along with two siblings, a younger brother, Léonard, and an older sister, Céleste. Being a military family, all three Travert siblings knew that they wanted to join the military as soon as they were able. Their parents did not force any military training on the children, but did help them in any way they could to develop skills that would help them when they were old enough to join.
Céleste was very smart, and would end up becoming an infantry officer, studying books and new theories on warfare techniques as she grew up, and pestering her parents for ideas that could help her with battle plans she would dream up in her head and draw on maps. Léonard was a brute of a man, and learned to ride horses very early on, and would train to fight with his father, in order to develop the riding and martial skills he would later need to become a cavalry soldier. Richard was small, unassuming, but very quick on his feet and with his hands, and would go with his mother when she hunted. She would teach him how to handle a longbow, as well as how to navigate and live off the land, and how to pass through an environment with a trace of his existence, which would help him in his scout training when he followed in his mother’s footsteps.
The Travert siblings would all enlist as soon as they were able, all put into different companies so as to prevent their family line from dying out should their entire company be wiped out, but would occasionally see each other during deployments. Richard would go on to prove himself, establishing himself as one of the finest scouts in the entire AIM, and would even be asked by the Judicial Council to join a special organization. He would be told that membership in this organization, sponsored by the Judicial Council would not interfere with his duties until he and other agents were needed for an event that could threaten the Allied Island States as a whole. But, until such an event occurred, he would be left to his normal duties, remaining on standby until he was needed.
