Biography:

Born on Karamja in 150, the young Bruce was very selfish and argumentative. He was a quick learner and therefore got bored very quickly, leading to a record of misbehaviour. He often tried to escape home or school and explore whatever he could. He gathered a small ring of friends, although they were basically puppets to him and as such Bruce gained more experience in being in command than he did in socialization. He was spoilt by his parents, who were considerably well-off (though “considerably is rather an understatement) and as such got masses of pocket money and practically whatever he wanted. However he was always restless. One day, however, his parents took him to Varrock to explore the palace (the ground floor is open to visitors) and he discovered the library. At first he was sceptical, but then he discovered the adventure books and before his parents knew it he was hooked. When he returned home he made a point of making sure his parents got him a new adventure book every day. In fact, he was so hooked he literally read a book a day – hence the constant nagging to get a new book. By the time he left home his mind was filled with dreams of becoming the world’s greatest explorer. Unfortunately, although his intentions were fairly good, another thing from his childhood remained – his love for money. As such, he spent the rest of his life scouring the world for whatever priceless artefacts he could find – and stick a price on them. Although he gained lots and lots of money, he still couldn’t get enough, dredging up whatever historical books he could find and searching for clues to more treasure. However, when he heard of the mysterious Orb of Riches, he knew he must get it no matter what. So he rounded up a few of his old ‘friends’ and hired some volunteers, as well as buying a ship, to find the Orb and make his deepest desires come true...
