History

Lord Peter Flintlock was a disgraced member of the English aristocracy. William Spatchcock was a petty criminal from the dregs of society. And from the moment these two dissolute rogues met, they were pretty much inseparable, united by their love of larceny, lechery and an easy life, and their fear of any kind of personal risk...which was a shame, since they were both members of the Rudinshtein Irregulars, a motley crew of soldiers under the command of Nikolai Dante, and were never very far from trouble!

After serving by Dante's side for a surprisingly long time, often unwillingly, the unlikely duo's partnership was ended during the final war with Dmitri Romanov, when Flintlock was killed in action. In a rather satisfying turn of events, "His Lordship", as Spatchcock referred to him, was then revealed to have left his entire not inconsiderable share of the Flintlock fortune to Spatchcock, effectively elevating him to the upper echelons of society and, not uncoincidentally, thoroughly irritating Flintlock's disapproving family...something that would undoubtedly have delighted him!
