 I hope no one ever reads this, but I need to write my experiences down so I can sort them all. Multiple lifetimes is A LOT of information to be crammed in your brain. I hope no one ever reads this, but I need to write my experiences down so I can sort them all.

 When Nikephoros Phokas gathered troops for his campaign in Crete, I ended up joining him. In one of my "lives" I learned how to ride horses. Since I spent much of my early life as a soldier, and still had trouble adapting to peace, I felt an urge to join up. I knew that it would be terrifying, but deep down inside, I knew that it was all I was good at. A minor noble had died, but I found out before anyone else. I took his identity, I took his armor and weapons, and I took his horses. When Nikephoros Phokas gathered troops for his campaign in Crete, I ended up joining him.

 The Emperor Romanus feared that Alp Arslan would invade the Empire. So Romanus went to Manzikert. He dispatched forces under Tarchaniotes to cover his southern flank. A young member of the Dukas family, Michael, controlled the forces covering Romanus's force. The Emperor Romanus feared that Alp Arslan would invade the Empire. So Romanus went to Manzikert.

 At that time, Norman Sicily was a very interesting place. Nowhere else in Europe could you find Catholics, Greeks, and Muslims living together harmoniously under a Catholic monarch. Since I was familiar with the Orthodox faith, I passed myself off as a Greek merchant. I made a lot of money shipping supplies to Tripoli and Acre. At that time, Norman Sicily was a very interesting place.

 I left Antwerp and ended up in Cadiz. I offered my services to the Almohads. To try and take out the Spanish, we would conduct far reaching raids. Along the way I saw the Spanish forces kill Muslims and Jews. That incensed me. Not fearing death, I boldly challenged as many Spaniards as I could. One-on-one, surrounded, overwhelming, etc. I left Antwerp and ended up in Cadiz. I offered my services to the Almohads. To try and take out the Spanish, we would conduct far reaching raids.

 I arrived in the company of Giovanni Giustiniani, a Genoese condotteire. I had no connection to Constantinople by that time. I only went along to pay off a debt that I owed to a Venetian merchant (Funny how tangled those things were back then). I arrived in the company of Giovanni Giustiniani, a Genoese condotteire.
