Very little is knwon about Lancere's early history. What is known is that he was born the third son of six children. The Revoin family had acted as the Planetary Governors of Margentia for generations upon generations. HIs father died of poisoning in his food, leaving him with the title of Planetary Governor. Suspiciously his two elder brothers died under mysterious circumstances just prior to this. Furthermore within two years of him taking office the rest of his siblings each suffered accidents, or disappeared. Imperial Scholars would later believe that Lancere had his siblings removed in order to remove even the possibility of competition to his title.
