Holy Sir Philip Hughes "The Kind" de Rosius (Common: Philip, Auvergnat: Philippe or Filippe, Flexio: Philippus, Akritian: Filippos, New-Marian: Filip), born to Charles and Safiye de Rosius in Redenford. Philip has a lineage that dates back to his 3x Great-Grandfather King Andrik III of Haense, his 3x Great-Grandmother Milena of Adria wife to King Andrik and to his Great-Great Grandfather Count Jahan of Susa. He is also known to be the first de Rosius to join the Supreme Order of Exalted Owyn in the Church of Canon, serving as an Armiger at first; eventually he got into the rank of the Equester-Imperator to the Supreme Order of Exalted Owyn.

Early Life

Born in 1822 of the Second Age, Philip Hughes de Rosius was raised by his father Charles and his mother Safiye. Philip was a more chaotic and unruly child when he was younger for his father was mostly absent to do work for the government and he did not see his mother quite often. For this he was sent to his Uncle in Redenford to be raised as a gentleman rather then having the behavior of a drunken peasant. This transfer has more or less played a factor in the life of Philip as he wanted to join the Imperial State Army, but this ambition was halted due to him being too young for recruitment. While residing with his Uncle, he was taught how to respect those of higher status and how to serve the Empire properly; this made Philip utterly dedicated to the cause of the Empire and he would be willing to eradicate those who wish to see it fall.

When Philip was thirteen years old he was often found reading books inside the library of Chateau de Rosius, studying the many enemies that the Empire has fought in order to use it for the safety of the Empire. Ever since he was thirteen years old, he was not one to introduce himself to his more distant relatives as they were not aware of his existance due to the abscence of his mother and father. Philip eventually had his own sword made and started to train on dummies at the Chateau, trying to become skilled in sword-fighting to eventually serve the Empire with the utter dedication that he has. While being aware of his great-uncle being a respective Captain of the Imperial State Army, Philip was facing the dilemma of either making a reputation through years of war or politics; for both have their factors in serving the Empire. While he was still thirteen, he kept going along with his swordfighting practices and studying so he could eventually become a good fighter and perhaps serve both in the army and politics.. though Philip prefers war over politics as in war you stand face to face with the enemy. Which is why he wanted to join the Supreme Order of Exalted Owyn.

The Supreme Order of Exalted Owyn

Knight Coat Of Arms - Philip de Rosius

Philip always wanted to do something for his faith, as to make himself a better person then being a man with an intemporant figure. He wanted to do his father proud by joining the most sacred Order of the Church; The Supreme Order Of Exalted Owyn. Philip was since he was ten years old, utterly dedicated to his faith and its practices; quite literally willing to sacrifice anything for it's preservance. When Philip was taken into the order, he became a squire under Holy Sir August Jazloviecki II.

Philip had spent some days in Savoy with his Master of the Order, who was also the man responsible for creating the Knight Coat Of Arms for Philip. The two have done the four of the five rings and trials which were necessary to be sent on the final quest. There Philip had earned his four rings by making a sword, elaborating on his education of the scrolls, swordsmanship and horsemanship. When Philip had finished this, he returned to Providence to prepare himself for his final quest to be knighted by His Holiness, High Pontiff Everard VI; then he would become a Holy Sir.

With Philip being in the Order, he reunited with his cousin Hera Claude de Rosius - Who also joined the Order and who was willing to become a Holy Dame, Philip was willing to contribute all the knowledge he had about what she had to do to come to that point and perhaps becoming her teacher before she joined the Order.
