  • Lord Norris was enjoying a successful career in the Imperial Navy when the accidental death of his older brother William in 1097, during what would turn out to be their father's last year of life, forced him rapidly into the unaccustomed role as the impending heir. As he was unmarried and had no heir, one precaution that he was convinced to take during this period was the creation of a clone which he insisted be female. This clone is Seldrian Aledon Aledon, still his heir.
  • Lord Norris acceded to the Dukedom of Regina in 1098, but it was not until the Fifth Frontier War was won thanks to his predictions and forethought in requisitioning reinforcements before the fact from Emperor Strephon that his reputation as a leader of the first rate was established.
  • In 1115, Duke Norris was still engaged in repairing the damages wrought by the Fifth Frontier War.
  • As a result of Duke Norris's handling of the Fifth Frontier War, Emperor Strephon elevated Norris to the new position of Archduke of the Domain of Deneb (1st Creation) on 140-1116. Formal investiture by the Emperor personally took place with Archduke Norris present at the Imperial palace on Capital on 001-1117, an unusual occurrence in view of the vast distances involved. Supported by many nobles in the Imperial Moot, Norris is highly respected for his very competent handling of the Fifth Frontier War, and his loyalty and fidelity to the Imperium have attracted support for him from many within the Imperial Nobility.
