With Lance by his side, Flynn became one of the most infamous thieves in all of Corona, making enemies at nearly every port. Eugene eventually ventured out with Arnwaldo-now known as Lance Strongbow-and grew up into a dashing swashbuckler and gifted horseman under an alias taken from his childhood hero: Flynn Rider. The more Eugene read it, the more he dreamed of a more audacious lifestyle and decided to break out of his orphan upbringing. His only companion at the time was his lifelong friend, Arnwaldo Schnitz.Įvery night, Eugene would read 'The Tales of Flynnigan Rider', stories of a rich and dashing swashbuckler who had an abundance of thrilling adventures wherever he went.

In the meantime, Eugene spent all his days with his fellow orphans. Eugene remained hopeful that once they did, they would return to the orphanage and take him back. He grew up believing that his parents were fearless adventurers traveling the world to make names for themselves. Eugene never knew the truth of his lineage. King Edmund ordered for a kingdom-wide evacuation to protect his subjects from the opal's destructive power-including Eugene, who was escorted out of the kingdom by a servant woman and later placed in an orphanage. During Eugene's infancy, the kingdom was corrupted by a powerful opal that threatened to destroy the land. Eugene Fitzherbert was born to King Edmund and his wife as Horace.
