Early Life

Family & Friends

Joseph Clement de Sarkozy was raised by his single-mother Helena Eleanor de Sarkozy and partially by his step-father Philip Hughes de Rosius. He was named after Joseph II, though having the same green eyes as his great-grandfather Franz Nikolai de Sarkozy and not quite having much relation to the Emperor-emeritus. Joseph had twelve siblings and each had their own passion. The House of Sarkozic does have a history of having many kinsman and so Joseph made the steps to strengthen family bonds with the Imperial Household. At age seven, he met Emperor Philip II, the second cousin to his grandfather Sir Tobias Henry de Sarkozy. Joseph his intention was to make as many friends as possible for he knew that his House was closely watched upon during the rule of Philip II, at least; so he describes within his diary. Joseph continued to spend time with his many siblings and cousins across the realm, and so his mother made Joseph Clement de Sarkozy the heir to the House of Sarkozic. He met his relative Philip III for the first time within the Principality of Savoy, a few months before his distant cousin took the throne of the Empire. Joseph Clement reunited with the other side of Sarkozic for the mother of the Emperor was one of his house; and so he grew close to the Emperor and sees him as his kinsman. While he was a squire to his cousin, Joseph made his first-blood at the age of 12, by slamming the sharp edge of his sword into the shoulder of a bandit-elf who had his sword drawn on the innocent of the Holy Orenian Empire.

Joseph made many friends, and so he met; Princess Imperial Catherine, Laurentina Helvets, Georgiana Maria Novellen-Aldersberg, Joseph Alexander d'Arkent and many others. Joseph grew close to every single one of his friends and continued to spend years in their company. And so Joseph did not give up on it and joined the Imperial State Army at the age of 14, to prove himself worthy to the Empire by fighting in the Urguani-Oren war. During this war, Joseph was sent on a mission to secure Dobrov for the municipality had declared neutrality in the war, which was equal to treason and so he helped to put one of his distant cousins from House of Carrion in charge of Dobrov.

Later Life

Joseph his later life was an interesting one; He fought in many battles, proved himself before the Emperor to become a Knight, and had the courage to ask the Emperor for the hand of his daughter, the Princess-Imperial; a long time friend of Joseph. Joseph was involved in many battles against the tripartite coalition in his later life for he became an utter patriot to the cause of a united humanity. His dedication to the Empire had never faltered and so he kept doing what he does best in service of it even when that had put his own life at risk. Joseph became close friends with the Princess-Imperial and thereafter the Emperor granted Joseph permission to take her hand in marriage as to continue his life as future Baron and to create the next line for the House of Sarkozic. From there on, Joseph Clement de Sarkozy was formally betrothed to the Princess-Imperial and so he patiently waited for the Urguani-Orenian conflict to pass; so they may live a happy life together.

Personality

Joseph was a rather stoic man, he was someone who uttered his opinion even when no one had ever asked for it. He always uttered jests to create a positive aura around himself, as to have a sense of humour with everyone - no matter with who he spoke. His own opinions were rather controversial in regards to the schism and the scheme of High Pontiff Everard VI. No matter who Joseph got into contact with he always was friendly to those who had known him from an early age - His friend and his relatives from the different houses in the Empire. Joseph his personality would be much alike with the personality of his great-grandfather Franz Nikolai de Sarkozy, for also Joseph was considered to be a formidable leader in guiding the House of Sarkozic to a bright future.

Urguani-Orenian War

The Battle of Cape Whitcombe

At the age of 13, Joseph began to approach officers of the Imperial State Army to become recruit for the war that was about to make its way to the Imperial borders. Upon his training, he has defeated four of his fellow recruit and a sergeant at the age of 14. Joseph had his first battle at 15 years old, he fought in the Battle of Cape Whitcombe; a naval battle that was fought during the period of the Urguani-Orenian War. Alongside his 76 year old grandfather, the two Sarkozics charged into battle to fight for the Empire and to kill until there was not a soul to hear of the tripartite coalition. And so when the battle had ended and the enemy had fled, the battle was won by the Holy Orenian Empire. Joseph fought in the many battles that were apart of this conflict.

The Siege of Southbridge

The Siege of Southbridge was a devastating loss for the Empire - Joseph himself was apart of the defending force who shot with crossbows to those who tried to occupy the fort. Alas, the trebuchets of the Tripartite Coalition managed to wreck the entirety of South Bridge and with that happening only 500 of the 8,600 managed to survive this battle. As Joseph and his fellow soldiers left the battlefield, South Bridge was besieged until nothing was left. The following day, Urguanite and Haenseni flags waved over the fields of Lower Petra. The Tripartite Coalition was victorious and conquered land of the Holy Orenian Empire.

The Battle of Karosgrad

As the Imperial State Army and their allies began to rally, Joseph joined them as they marched for the North. The Imperial State Army and their alliances thus marched, through the snowed mountains alongside the border between the Kingdom of Norland and the Dual-Kingdom of Hanseti-Ruska. As they arrived at the gates of Karosgrad, they moved up to higher ground to take a good position and to loose arrows at them. It worked for some time until the rally of Haenseni and dwarves arrived at the hills, causing an enormous slaughter and both parties to retreat and to recover.
