Originally from Lunden, Osbert developed an interest in subjects relating to the Roman Empire which that had once occupied England until the early 5th century.

Around 873, Osbert left Lunden and moved north, coming upon a newly-established settlement by the name of Ravensthorpe in Danish Mercia. Desiring to settle in the new hamlet, Osbert made camp in a small Roman ruin north of the longhouse. After some time, Osbert met Eivor Varinsdottir, the adopted sister of the settlement's jarl Sigurd who served as a stand-in until his return. Osbert introduced himself to Eivor who later had a proper house built for him where he could properly store his artifacts. In addition to requesting Eivor to help him recover Roman artifacts throughout England, Osbert also asked Eivor to travel to Lunden to recover the Roman legionnaire figurine that Maximilian had stolen for him. Eivor obliged and later returned with the figurine in hand.
