[quote=@Eisenhorn] I had not actually nailed down an exact time frame for each rank, in terms of years in each rank, was kind of leaving it slightly vague for this reason. It is absolutely possible Renard happened to be involved in dealing with the particular group of bandits that captured Eustace, which I would be cool with having be the case. [/quote] Yeah, that's what I was thinking of! Neat, then, if they happen to end up in the same group, Renard will have an admirer :p
