He was the child of a prominent and prestigious family which stood among the elites of European society for several generations. Spencer came to be a close friend of a fellow nobleman named Lord Edward Ashford and during his studies at university he knew a schoolmate named James Marcus. During the 1950's, he came to regularly invite the pair to his castle during Summer vacations.
While taking a solo hiking trip in Eastern Europe, he became lost due to his inexperience in the unfamiliar terrain and collapsed on a snow-covered road. Whilst there, he was rescued by Miranda, the priestess and biologist of an isolated mountain village which worshipped the Black God.

Though he lacked a means to accomplish this, he believed the answer lay within the emerging field of virology.
In the 1960's, he came to learn the existence of a mythical plant named the Stairway of the Sun that was said to exist in a remote location in Africa.

Overview
Personality and attributes
Oswell developed a taste for the arts, literature and hunting - all of which seemed appropriate enough to the rest of his family so they allowed him to pursue all of these.
As he grew older, World War II began - and it was during this time he remained hidden and poured himself over his texts and the newsreels. He began to take a strong interest in the sciences, particularly chemistry and biology and travelled the world looking for inspiration.
The only person he truly trusted was his loyal butler Patrick whose family had served the Spencers for generations.
