"For his whole life, Rob had weathered the seasonal challenges and political threats under his parents’ protection. Now, his parents and the way of life his clan had relied upon was being swept away by political winds from as far away as... France. And his own political convictions were being formed. ... He despised needless bloodshed, and fought against the injustice that plagued his clan -- aggressively but with foresight. He was to become a hero of the Highlands."
Not only that, but he was a cattleman! Unreal!
[Note to hysterical libs: clan here refers only to Scottish political/familial organizations]
