The Boy/Biography (SH3)

The Boy is a military leader and a trusted right-hand of the King of England.
Ten years after the happenings of the First War, the Jackal unleashes a campaign that sends the country into disarray and turmoil once again. The Boy is eventually laid siege to in his very own castle, from where he extracts the heiress Lady Catherine and escapes. From the cover of the remote highlands, loyal forces wage guerilla warfare against the regular troops of the opposition. It is not long until the Jackal finds the Boy's location and bears arms against him.
In the meantime, the Jackal completes his quest and kills the King. Far from the Jackal's harm, Lady Catherine is protected by the Boy, who eventually grows an army that he would command to defend themselves. Sir Longarm, veteran of the previous war, advises that a league of lords still loyal to the court could be persuaded to join their cause: Thomas Blackstaff, exile of the Court; the Sultan, whose prospering city got taken, and The Iron Duke, master artisan and supplier of the Royal Army. The Boy heads out and starts looking for their aid.
He relieves Blackstaff from under the blockade of Rupert Silverback, who threatens his existence by a campaign. As the Rat and his forces are repelled, Blackstaff is appointed as right-hand of the Boy, in exchange of granting loyalty and military aid of his Marshland Rangers.
The Boy then moves to look for the Sultan, who got exiled from the very town he raised to prosper and his family kidnapped by another Rat, Greytail. Using his last reserves, the Sultan arranges a deal of supplying him arms and siege equipment. With the newfound assets, the Boy manages to save the Sultan's relatives from Greytail's castle. The Sultan is able to reinvigorate trades and promises to provide goods on demand for him.
The Iron Duke is visited by the Boy afterwards, who soon come under attack by the third Ratling, Roger Scabcoat. He tries to lay hands on the forges of the Duke, which produce advanced iron weapons of masterful quality. Since the Duke has no military force at hand, he shares his forgery knowledge so that the Boy can defend his forges. With enough time, soon a steady supply of weapons are crafted that can supply a new army.
With the Alliance complete, the Boy now takes on the fight to the Ratlings' lands in a decisive attempt. He dominates and scatters their forces, however the Rats also flee. Blackstaff is ordered to chase them to take them into custody, who manages to do so. The Boy marches to the Jackal's lands to retake control over the land and seize lost territory.
Soon, word comes that the Pig's sons, Earl Swinefoot and Bishop Redham march against the rebels. It is only a matter of time that the Pigs draw the Boy's forces to a remote castle, away from a main army that is poised to attack the Abbey, residence of Lady Catherine. Redham keeps Catherine prisoner, although his triumph is short-lived when the Abbey is relieved by the Boy, forcing him to escape. 
A desperate Sir Longarm tells that the Wolf has been the mastermind behind the whole plot all that time, and how he uses the descendants of his former associates to shatter the rebellion, mysteriously returning. To deliver a crushing blow, Longarm's castle is besieged by the Jackal and Swinefoot, however they are too weak to take the fortification and they retreat after the defeat. After the Pigs are marched against and killed by the Boy at their own castles, the Wolf decides to personally join the fight.
The Wolf's headquarters is located at the Royal Palace and the Boy sieges the castle to put him down for good. He is however surprised to not find his nemesis in the castle, who set a trap and now lays siege to the very castle he just took. The Boy successfully holds firm and personally crushes the encamped army, scattering it. The Wolf flees once the Boy is on the spot.
The Boy goes immediately after him, first on horseback, then on boat. As they sail under a bridge, suddenly the Wolf's men entrap the Boy, immobilizing him. It is not long until the Wolf takes his revenge on his long-wanted foe.
