Roanoke

right|300px
-The mysterious Lost Colony and Virginia's older brother.
-Born in 1587 and reported missing in 1590. There is evidence to suggest he just moved somewhere, but, if he did, no one has ever found where he went. There was no evidence ever found of his death, either.
-His caretaker, White, left to get desperately needed supplies and didn't return for 3 years. When White returned, Roanoke had vanished.
-Virginia at first thought America was her missing sibling when she met him.
-The only clues to his disappearance were the word "CROATOAN" carved into a post and "CRO" carved into a tree nearby.
-All early attempts to find him were thwarted by bad weather or other misfortunes. Even Spain tried to find Roanoke (to kill him because he thought the colony was a threat) but he never could.
-There were no signs of battle and it appeared the houses had been taken apart so it didn't seem the people left in a hurry.
-Some have theorized that, out of desparation, Roanoke married or was forced to assimilate with the Croatan Nation who lived on Hatteras Island. (Croatan died of disease around the early 17th century although Lumbee was considered a decendant of Croatan by North Carolina.)
-Tuscarora claims to have captured Roanoke and forced him into marriage and that was actually how Lumbee was born. (No one can confirm if this is true or not although there has been some evidence.) Saponi also claims to be a descendent of Roanoke.
-Roanoke was supposedly friendly with Croatan and Chesapeake. Powhatan claimed to have murdered Roanoke when he became too friendly with his enemy, Chesapeake, and had a few of Roanoke's belongings as proof. (No one really knows if this is true or not. He could have just picked the items up or they might have been traded.) Either way, Virginia didn't take the news well.
