François Villon is a poet, thief, and vagabond.He represents everything that's more charming about freedom and nonconformity.He was born in poverty, somewhere in Paris' slums and his father died in his youth, while his mother continued to live there until she died of tuberculosis.After that, his uncle, a close friend and benefactor named Guillaume de Villon, chaplain in the collegiate church of Saint-Benoît-le-Bestourne, and a professor of canon law, took François into his house and helped him become a student in arts at the age of twelve.
On 5 June 1624, the first major recorded incident of his life occurred. In the company of a priest named Giles and a girl named Isabeau, he met, in the Rue Saint-Jacques, a Breton, Jean le Hardi, a master of arts, who was also with a priest, Philippe Sermaise. A scuffle broke out, daggers were drawn and Sermaise, who is accused of having threatened and attacked Villon and drawn the first blood, not only received a dagger-thrust in return, but a blow from a stone, which struck him down. He died of his wounds.François fled, and was sentenced to banishment by Royal Decree.He disappeared from Paris and no one ever heard anything of him, until, one spring morning, he appeared wounded near a Convent and was secretly attended by a young girl from there, named Marion de Valois.

Who is this guy? Is he a CAS Sim? Does he have any family members in the game - dead or alive?
Hmmm... I wonder how you are going to play the Villon family if they are a bunch of outcasts. Must be tough, I suppose. There are so many game restrictions for outcasts that it's so easy to get caught and go to prison. Eeeek! Better watch out and live out in the outskirts of town! You may want to figure out how to obtain money and live. Maybe you may start a small garden where they can harvest fruits and vegetables, so that they don't practically starve themselves to death. :)
I would like to comment about the chosen last name. His last name, Villon, looks like the English "Villain". Hmmm... wonder if Villon means Villain...
This guy, Francois Villon, is also a vagabond: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fran%C3%A7ois_Villon
What a coincidence.
Well, that guy actually served as an inspiration for this character (he's actually the same person ; I just modified the years when he lived and moved him into the Renaissance period).
I just created him so he has no family members (yet).I wanted some outcasts into my game, maybe some thieves or criminals, so I created him ^^ I just had too many poor noble girls in the Convents and I couldn't just let them live the rest of their lives there (too boring XD ; not good for storytelling ).
I also don't that that I will comply with the rules regarding outcasts, because everything would be just too complicated >.>
The name "Villon" was stated by the sixteenth-century historian Claude Fauchet to be merely a common noun, signifying "cheat" or "rascal," but this seems to be a mistake. It is, however, certain that Villon was a person of loose life, and that he continued, throughout his recorded life, a reckless way of living common among the wilder youth of the University of Paris. It is possible that he derived his surname from his uncle, a close friend and benefactor named Guillaume de Villon, chaplain in the collegiate church of Saint-Benoît-le-Bestourne, and a professor of canon law, who took Villon into his house.
(found it on wikipedia and I thought it seemed interesting)
