Editing Romana Pendragon (section)

===As a mortal===
Romana Pendragon was born in 1683, the third child of a wealthy landowner in eastern England. Pendragon joined the British Army and fought in the campaigns of the {{w|War of Spanish Succession}}.

Her leadership qualities, combined with a ruthless persistence and a Machiavellian approach to politics, were rewarded often and well by her superiors. It was no secret that she was being groomed for a top seat in Parliament. However, her political dreams in the mortal world were never to materialize in the manner she had planned.

During a period of rest and relaxation in Switzerland, the young infantry captain met her [[sire]]. She was as beautiful as she was merciless, and it is very likely that Pendragon's ruthless nature attracted her. On August 12, 1703, Pendragon was Embraced by {{www|Dark Selina}}, a wicked vampiress with worldly ambitions.
