You were raised in a castle or military fortress.  Perhaps your parents were minor royalty (the second cousin to someone's brother).  Perhaps your parents had money either as a master merchant or by other means and a position was purchased to place in the the service of a knight.  Or, mayhaps one of your parents saved the life of a royal member and you were made a squire as payment.  You've been raised to understand honor and the life of a knight.  You understand what it means to live by a code.  You have served one of noble birth, learning the way of the knight in hopes that one day you would be granted a title.  (Whom did you serve?  What was that person's station in life?  Is their family old and established, or was it a title only recently bestowed? How much influence did they wield, and over what area? What kind of reputation does their family have among the other aristocrats of the region? How do the common people regard them?))

Suggested Characteristics

A squire would typically become a knight after completing their training and proving their competence and bravery. This usually occurred around the relative age of 21, although it could happen sooner, particularly if the squire demonstrated exceptional skills in battle. The knighthood was formally bestowed upon them through a dubbing ceremony.   Though the position holds no royal position, it marks one as a warrior who has sworn an oath to someone or to a cause.
