Early Life

Birth and Family

Louis Joseph was born within the Chateau de Rosius located within the County of Mardon, his eyes being that of his mother, and his facial features being exactly that of his father. Whilst being a mix of Auvergnian and Raevir, his ancestry is mostly Auvergnian due to the bloodweb that is mostly of House Rosius. Louis Joseph was often hidden by his mother alongside his twin-brother so no one might discover their true parentage. However, in the absence of their mother they would often go on the streets of Providence and prank other noble children in the Aster Palace; the same palace that was ran by the twins their half-brother's grandmother; The Empress Anastasia I.

The Acrean Revolution

Louis Joseph, his siblings and his mother found themselves in panic as there was a brewing revolution to overthrow Frederick I, King of Oren in revenge for the King his call to arrest Gustaf de Vilain for withdrawing from the conflict for the Silver Isle. With the revolution having many fights and battles; the revolution concluded as the revolutionaries managed to overthrow and kill the King and Queen of Oren; now, the Kingdom was split; thus Hera, Louis his mother began to forge alliances with the multiple governments within the lands of the dissolved Kingdom.

Interests in the Church

Although Louis Joseph had a mother who was renowned of being a practicing Magi; in his later years, Louis Joseph ultimately despised the Magi and blamed them for the death of his beloved mother. It was often said that he became a fanatic Canonist and thus sought to destroy those who went against its teachings and who made use of Magi to do what God should do. High Pontiff Pontian IV, his Uncle, noticed his utter devotion to the Church and made him the Inquisitor of the Church; being the judge over accused heretics. He continued to do his work during the Crusade against the Xionist Serheim; people of who he long thought should be put an end to.

Later Life

The End of Rosius and the Beginning of Endor

Upon the death of his mother Hera Claude de Rosius; Louis' sister, Roxana Claude de Rosius made the decree that the House would no longer be known as Rosius but as Endor. As many from outside the Heartlands of the previous Holy Orenian Empire and Kingdom tried to lay claim to the title. Many missives were outed regarding these claims by a cousin of Louis' by the name of Yves de Rosius, however; Louis' ignored these claims and thus began to make plans to reinstate a true Rosius, himself, as the head of House de Rosius; while his sister would be the Head of Endor.

Philosophy

With his continuous studies into the Holy Scrolls, Louis Joseph began to develop an interest for different interpretations of it. He thus often made philosophical works regarding the teachings of the Scrolls and often comprehends the Scrolls more different then someone else. He began with writing the Parchments a compilation of letters which contained the thoughts of Louis Joseph de Rosius on various subjects as a piety, war and noble Houses. Laying the foundation for his own way of thinking.

Marriage and Issue

Louis Joseph de Rosius was betrothed to his cousin Philippa Adelaide de Rosius; daughter of Michael Alexander de Rosius; the grand-uncle of Louis. The two were often put together for a specific amount of time during their courtship so they may establish a bond and present plans to eachother to expand the House and their lineage. When Louis Joseph came of age; he married his maternal cousin; Philippa Adelaide de Rosius and fathered three children. All of their children had the physique of a true Rosius and Auvergnian heritage; all of them having green eyes, however; blonde hair through the genes of their paternal grandmother; Hera Claude. Upon the death of Philippa, he was later put into an arranged marriage with another member of his own House named Lucrèce Ysabeau de Rosius who gave Louis two daughters.

Self Incarceration

In Louis Joseph his later life, he made the decision to pass his titles to his eldest son; Louis August. With such, Louis Joseph himself decided to aim his focus to affairs of the mind and that of his personal philosophy.
