Biography
Early life
Rozmeo was born to unnamed Santegians in the capital city Presa de Madera. A life of poverty impelled his true parents to abandon the family, leaving him to the mercy of the streets as an orphan. An old man named Paxton Kastrovat soon found the boy sitting in an alleyway, taking him as his own. Together they would wander across Atlas, from frigid wastelands to lush forests, scorching deserts to the unforgiving highlands, to experience much of what the realm had to offer. The earlier years of his adolescence were filled with adventure, sparing ample time and exposure for young Rozmeo to learn. With Paxton as his mentor and guardian, the boy picked up many trades that would prove much useful is his latter years. The duo part ways a decade into their journey, Paxton left for the Seven Skies just as Rozmeo turned fifteen. The boy was on his own once more, left only a single necklace as memento. With little choices, Rozmeo settled down within Senntisten to enlist in the King's Legion.
Vincere est Vivere
As an enlisted footman of the Legion, he was given what he needed the most at the time - a roof to sleep under and plenty food on the table. What came unexpected was the strange sense of brotherhood within the ranks, one he'd never felt before. These men did not care for his past nor questioned his age, only took him in as kin.
Over the years he participated in numerous campaigns, his deeds brought him into the officer corp after earning the trust of Augustus I and his superiors. His most notable feats took place during the onslaught on the Red Vaeyl. As second in command of the vanguard military force of Atlas, he led the Carolus Brigade through the Yatl Wasteland and the Canyons of Serrimor; the Legion played crucial parts in the victories of the Siege of Lasthope and the Battle of Caer Baddyn, as well as obtaining key information in regards to the passage through the ice wall. For his efforts, and with the resignation of Seth Renault, he was granted the rank of Grand Marshal by Antonius I and soon knighted by Dame Sophia Halcourt.
A husband, a father
Rozmeo wedded Halle Mournstone 19th of Sun's Smile, in the year 1705. The wedding took place in the Church of Helena, before a large gathering of imperials.
Passing of Renatus
A true Renatian, part of him went away alongside the dissolution of the Kingdom of Renatus. He'd questioned his identity, why he continued to put on the cerise armor of a Dragon Knight daily. On the ill-omened tenth day of Harren's Folly, Rozmeo passed away in his beloved's arm, multiple arrows piked in across his body. "Stand in court for one more time" were the words of the young majesty, Rozmeo had requested for retirement before the massacre at court in the Rubrummagnus Palace, it was the last day of his post, the last day he wore the red armor.
