|
Laurence August Pruvia is the younger brother of Philip Louis Pruvia-Cantal, August Sigismund Pruvia & the eldest John Everard Pruvia, and was born in the outskirts of Owynsburg. He is an avid vintner, hunter and Kaedrinophile. Growing up as the informal notary of his elder sibling, Laurence was taught literacy and legal jargon from a relatively young age. He originally had the ambition to follow into John's footsteps and become an attorney and Imperial politician, until his sudden thrust into a clerical career in 1763.
Clerical career
The assassination of Krisztian Matyas Karoly was both a tragedy and an opportunity for John Everard Pruvia: who had lost a close friend and his main ally within the Holy Canonist Church. With High Pontiff James II incredibly indebted morally and financially to John, he sought to cash in his favors during this time of mourning: seeing opportunity in the many vacancies Krisztián left behind. From his capacity as Monsignor, John struck a deal with James II to appoint his younger brother Laurence as the successor to Krisztián Károly. Barely two days after the death of Krisztián: Laurence was ascended to become the Bishop of Ves, the Cardinal of Ves and the Secretariat to His Holiness.
In his first thesis 'The Fidei Defensor', Laurence expresses the necessity of a strong Emperor to act as the Fidei Defensor (Defender of the Faith). He furthermore takes a similar stance as his predecessor to the Lendian heresy: using it as an example for a divisive and rebellious ideology that stands opposed to mankind's unity.
Speaker of the House
In 1763, Laurence became the first Speaker of the House for the newfound Kaedreni House of Commons.
