Ishamel Returns to Richards LifeRichard was sitting in the courtyard of his office in Calcutta looking at a young officer of the 74th Foot fresh from training in England the boys name was Richard Mountbatten and he was sixteen years old. The boy was rather nervous around Venables which suprised Venables even more when the boy produced a letter to him saying it was for him!

Venables and the 95st rowed to the nearest port in Malay and reported what happened to the Warship, no one believed them a 74 gun ship of the line against a Indiaman? impossible! but yet it had happened! The British Deployed a squadron of Frigates to patrol the area but merchant shipping kept on disappearing and so Venables decided enough was enough and ordered that the HMS Archangel a 96 gun man of war be posted to Malay! a week later the pirates whose ship was called the Merchant of Venice were defeated. Return to HawaiiVenables was sitting in Calcutta with Lady Sarah and his good friend Richard Luther when he suddenly was approached by a footman bearing a letter from his friend Chirstopher Ironshot, Venables opened the letter and read

Duke of Jura, & Director of Affairs in the Swiss Trading CompanyVenables was promoted to the position of Director of Affairs in the Swiss Trading Company. And was also made the Duke of Jura in Switzerland. but Sarah refused to go with him and stayed in England.

Venables and his Soldiers rushed to find out what had happened when they suddenly ran into the infamous pirate, Captain Jack Sparrow! "You there! STOP!!!" Venables said as he blew the whistle on Sparrow, Venables and his men chased Sparrow and captured him transporting him back to London, where he duely escaped as usual.
Betraying SwitzerlandVenables had of course been made the General in Chief of the Swiss Armies and a Duke in Switzerland, but Venables had realised something!

Botany, and an expedition.Richard though had another goal in life that of Botany, he left England on board HMS Resolute with Admiral Christopher Ironshot, on a Scientific expedition to the Hawaiin Isles. The British Expedition landed at Hawaii and immediately set about making a camp at Fort Breasly. Afterwards the expedition, the British discovered 58 new species of insect life, and 12 new types of finches, as well as 74 types of different types of plant life that hadnt been previously discovered anywhere else in the world. when he returned to England the Royal Society awarded him the Copley Medal for outstanding research in the field of BotanyFounding to Royal SocietyHe founded the Royal Society with Jacques De Goldtimbers in 1745 in London, he became well noted for his Discovery of the mating habits of the Camel in 1746.Death and ResurectionVenables was commanding the forces of the third British Column in Africa when a highly Trained assasin came for him and killed him because he was a member of the Order of the Templers and watched as his Aide was speared in the stomach by the Assassin, Venables roared and told his men to take the Assassin out, but the assassin had a long bow and shot Venables in the heart with a long Arrow and knocked him off his horse, then the Assassin came up to him and axed him in the leg, this was how Venables lost his leg in the Seven Years Wars, but Venables and his men were rescued by the amazing Wizard Extroadinare, Raven Potter who revived them both as she was the 5x Great Granddaughter of Venables. And so Venables lived to fight again and take his revenge against the Assassins of the African Militia.
Venables though had been diposed as the Lord Chancellor in Switzerland and so began to fight in the Swiss/Romanian war on the side of Romania as a hired General and Romanian officer, He also became the Body guard of Queen Elizabeth Spark of Sweden, who had many great threats against her life from the Swiss whom he felt had betrayed him. afterwards he joined the Royale Co. Navy and was placed as a Major in command of the second squad of the first platoon, under the command of Colonal Tyler Crossbones. He fought valiantly against a four man squad of Casa Di Royales in the Tortuga Graveyard beating them off incredibly as they were a higher level then him. 50th Birthday,Sitting in the Study of Edrington Estate Venables reflected in his diary, of his experiances of the last of 50 years of his life, as he sipped brandy and heard the noise as the negro band played down stairs in the grand hall of Edrington Hall, Venables looked over at the painting of himself painted by Sir Robert Grey in 1720, he was then only 17 years old, and so young and innocent, he had watched his own father be executed by Henry Montegore, in his diary he reflected on his life and the good and bad that had happened inside of it all, as he sipped brandy he slowly stood up and went to the door, taking the key out of his pocket, slowly opening the doors and then closing them from behind and locking them throughly. RussiaVenables was posted in Moscow with the 95th Regiment later on to keep the peace, he succeeded in his mission and is currently stationed in russia as garrison commander! Having fought in the skirmish of Saint Petersburg with the regiment he was encamped after the battle in the shade cast by the walls of the Citadel, when a emissary from Sven Daggersteel came with orders for him to march to Moscow, and take control of the capitol.
He marched into Moscow three weeks later, and was attacked by some unorganised resistence fighters from the Russian Imperial Guard, which the 95th Quickly defeated, Venables and his men set about basing themselves in the great Citadel in the southern area of Moscow, Venables and his men though were forced to pry out the last remenants of the faithful old guard of the Tsar, but eventually the Citadel was captured and the Union Flag flew over the ramparts instead of the Imperial Tsar's standard.
He often was forced to deal with small uprisings in and around Moscow but these were quickly crushed by the 95th and the newly posted Light Company under Lieutenant Ishamel Venables.
Venables though loved Russia its cold, bleak snow covered winters reminded him of his home in Derbyshire, England, his corrispondence with England remained strong and eventually reinforcements were sent in the form of the South Wales Borderers or formerly known as the 24th Regiment. Family MattersRichard Returned home on six months leave, it was summer in England and he enjoyed some time with his sister and daugthers who were ectastic to see him! Richard had left Richard Luther in charge back in Moscow whilst he was on leave, but there was lot of time spent on attending dances, weddings and of course many formal dinners with other officers of the Second Battalion of the 95th, Richard enjoyed his time relaxing and getting upto date on the latest news and parlour talk!
Until finally he was forced to return to Russia and the bitter cold winter that awaited him there! but he when he arrived he found Tsar Ivan VIII sitting in his throne! why wasnt he in a cell were he should be? Luther came up to Venables with a letter that read...
To Major Richard Venables of the 95th Regiment of Foot, Moscow, Russia Dear Richard, It is with great joy that i write to tell you we have negotiated peace with the Russians, and have given them back their lands, as of such your posting has been closed and you are to return to England in the shortest time possible where your Regiment will do barracks duties for six months whilst they recouperate from the stress and cold of Russia! Yours Sincerly Johnny Goldtimbers!
Mission to ChinaVenables was given an important mission by the king to recover a sacred artifact of great spritual signifacance, He took fifteen of his regiments best men and took the artifact from the forbidden city, the British soldiers murdered several chinese guards and took the artifact back to Britain after Venables defeated the guardian of the artifact in single combat!
Ottoman ConnectionsVenables travelled to Alexandria, where he was to collect a ransom from a feared corsair, whose son Venables had kidnapped to stop him from attacking british shipping, Venables and his black guard henchmen, took the pirate chieftain and arrested him and his son and handed them over to Richard Cannonwalker in Morocco, Venables hated this corsair though and had him severely whipped beforehand, -the Corsair had been the bastard who kidnapped Venables foster daughter- and so Venables wrath was discovered by the corsair and he cursed Venables to serve the British Empire for all eternity, at Which Venables laughed and said, " I think i can handle eternity!" Venables arrived in Morocco and handed over the Pirate to Cannonwalker and then sailed back to England on the HMS Princess.The Sins of a TemplarVenables and his wife Sarah, though were very much annoyed by Caternia Sforza, Ishamels wife who was an Assassin and so Sarah and Richard found an excuse to arrest Caternia and have her Executed for Treason against the Crown of England.Venables and his fellow Templars plotted against the Assassins but meanwhile Ishamel found out about his father a so tried to assassinate him, but instead spared his life in exchange for Caterina... Venables Accepted his proposal heartily.
