George was born to middle-class parents in the city.  His father was an accountant and his mother was a seamstress.  Despite a normal middle-class upbringing, George found that he had significant difficulty with school.  As he aged, he suspected that the Half-Orc milkman was actually his true father, but this could never be confirmed.

Unswayed by his uncertain pedigree, George began to study at the Magical Accountant's Correspondence School, although he had to withdraw after the first semester due to "overwhelming academic failure."  He joined the King's Men as a footman, where he had an illustrious career.  It turns out that the same bone-headedness that is a liability to an accountant is a boon to a professional soldier.  Quickly rising through the NCO ranks, George truly found his calling once he was appointed the Formation Sergeant Major.  Not really understanding much about tactics, policy, or politics, George was fantastic at angrily telling others to blouse their boots.
