 In primary school, Nurse Travers reads the orphans stories from myths and legends of the citadel, including the story of Reg Margin and the tricksy jester [[Oleg Paripasu]].
-Oleg (“o-Legal” geddit) thrown out of Transylvania for rentseeking saved himself when discovered stealing by ungainly giant and keeper of the kings game Reg Margin. Reg is under pressure from the royal court because someone is stealing the king’s game, and he has been deprived of his rations. He is starving when he unwittingly stumbles upon Oleg, a strange and alien looking creature, who is camped in the Bretton wood and is roasting a hare he has just stolen from the kings trap. Reg goes to snatch the trickster and ties him up but he quickly turns the situation round by offering Reg some game, which he credulously takes, only to be caught red-handed by the king’s guard, who were following orders to audit and inspect the king's hunting grounds. Oleg explains that Reg was innocent, and that a nasty-looking Romanian thief stole them. “Who are you then?”
+Oleg (“o-Legal” geddit) thrown out of Transylvania for rentseeking saved himself when discovered stealing by ungainly giant, Reg Margin.
-“I am a victim too!”
+Reg is a local thief — none too smart — and makes a living poaching game from the royal hunting grounds. One day, when checking his traps, he stumbles upon Oleg, a strange and alien looking creature camping out in the Bretton Woods and is roasting a hare he has taken from Reg’s trap. Reg snatches the trickster and is about to do him great injury but Oleg, a quick thinker, offers Reg some of his haul and, which he credulously takes, only to be caught red-handed by the King’s Guard, on a routine audit patrol, of the King's hunting grounds. Oleg leaps to Reg’s defence explaining to the King’s guard that far from Reg having stolen the game, he had in fact just dispossessed thieves of it and was returning to the King. When pressed, Oleg explains it was a nasty-looking Romanian thief.
+“Well, who are you, then?”
+“I am a victim too! The thief kidnapped ''me''. Reg here ''rescued'' me. He is a hero.”
 The King’s guard show clemency and appoint Reg and Oleg to guard the forests which they do in return for a generous stipend. Oleg becomes Reg’s consigliere, for the cost of a portion of the King’s Rent (paid first of course). Oleg squirrels away his share, selling it at a mark-up to the other villagers who in turn pay fealty to reg, who pays a slice to Oleg.
