Biography[]
Early Life[]
Kenneth was born on the 9th of April 1959 to Hannah and Alec Delos. His father's family had a legacy of being involved in Politics, and both his father and grandfather had held the office of Mayor of London. It was always expected that Kenneth would follow in their footsteps. Kenneth, however, was not interested in politics.
Time in Paris[]
In 1983, at the age of twenty-four, Kenneth's parents sent him to Paris for a few weeks with the express message that upon his return he would be expected to press ahead with his political career. Whilst in Paris, he met Michelle, a young British woman studying in the capital.
Kenneth put off his return to England after meeting Michelle and the two developed a relationship. Neither one of them told their parents back in England about their relationship, and the longer they hid it, the harder it became to tell them.
Michelle fell pregnant with their first child, Gabriel Delos. They decided to marry while vacationing in Aix-en-Provence in the new year of 1984, when Michelle only had four months or so left of her pregnancy and they had married almost immediately, but still they did not tell their families back home in England.
They argued almost daily, with Kenneth wanting to tell their respective parents and Michelle being too scared.
Gabriel Delos was born on the 27th June 1984 and they had their second son Luca Delos on the 17th October 1988 and on the 10th March 1993, they had their daughter Clarisse Delos.
Michelle left in the September of 1993.
Kenneth's parents presumed that the mother of his children must have died or left and he never corrected them, suffering at the time from depression. He and the children returned to London and stayed with his parents for a short time.
