Thomas Efford<\/a> was raised in the countryside of Norfork, the youngest\u00a0son of a small noble family. When he was of age he married and settled down at his family\u2019s Manor. The couple had four children, and were content with their lives.<\/p>\nAfter Elizabeth the First disbanded Catholicism, he began to shelter and protect the local Priests. He hid them in his home, giving them a place to conduct Mass and minister to the people. The family and local village were always on guard, keeping an eye out for any of Elizabeth\u2019s soldiers.<\/p>\n
Thomas\u2019 life would change when he met Nicolaus Valerius Meridius and\u00a0his two sons, Antonio Crisafi\u00a0and\u00a0Timothy Quinn, while riding back from London, with his manservant. \u00a0He stated they could stay at\u00a0his home for the night. As they approached the small Manor, Tony smelt burning and they spurred their horses onwards.<\/p>\n
They came upon the house burning, the family dead, and the Captain of the Guard ready to throw the infant into the raging fire. \u00a0Nicolaus rides head long into the middle, grabs the baby and kills the guard, while Tony and Timothy take out the rest of the soldiers.<\/p>\n
They proceed to get Thomas, his daughter and manservant out of the area. \u00a0The manservant who has family in Ireland, takes the baby so she can be raised properly and hidden away from the Queen\u2019s Guards. \u00a0Timothy tells him to contact Boru and he would help him.<\/p>\n
Thomas takes on the role of manservant to Lord Leavy, since the Baron Efford had died in the fire. As the months progress he learns how to meet the three\u2019s needs. \u00a0In time he asked Nicolaus to Turn him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
