The Head Bishops

The Five Head Bishops of Harmonia have ruled ever since Hikusaak has, for all intents and purposes, "withdrawn" from service. Though Hikusaak is technically the leader, he has not been seen in over two hundred years, despite public knowledge that he has a True Rune. The Five Head Bishops have been around for so long that no one in the country can remember a time when they have not ruled. So who are they and what is known about them? Let's review:

  • Head Bishop Angelo: An old man with a double chin. Nothing is known about how he became a Head Bishop,what family he is a part of, or when he was born, and no public records are known to exist.
  • Head Bishop Rudolf: An old man with long ears. Nothing is known about how he became a Head Bishop,what family he is a part of, or when he was born, and no public records are known to exist.
  • Head Bishop Ivan: An old man with a long nose. Nothing is known about how he became a Head Bishop,what family he is a part of, or when he was born, and no public records are known to exist.
  • Head Bishop Dominic: An old man with a large bald spot. Nothing is known about how he became a Head Bishop,what family he is a part of, or when he was born, and no public records are known to exist.

Interestingly, all four look otherwise very familiar, old wrinkled men who look as though they could die any moment. Alas, that is all we know. How quaintly mysterious. So who's the newest recruit, the last of the Head Bishops? He's a man we know a little more about.

  • Head Bishop Rodin Relos: He became a Head Bishop only recently and is middle aged and in shape. Rodin Relos is from the famed Relos family, incredibly gifted sorcerers and strategists. Rodin's younger brother, Romulus, is the current head of the Soledt Academy (where Caesar was recruited). Rodin has been in the church for many years and he was a Priest General for some time, working with the military to conquer and subdue other nations. We know that he has a way of making enemies disappear, and is rivals with Kuarjav. Unlike the others, there are public records known, and information can be found out on him if the proper people are asked. We also know that he has been involved with the taking of the True Night Rune, an heirloom of Daisy. Harold will note that Relos is surely a man to be wary of.

Hikusaak

Hikusaak was the hero who led a group of people in a rebellion against the Kingdom of Aronia 400 years ago in "The Hero War". Being the holder of the True Circle Rune, he has lived ever since as the Harmonian Head of State and High Priest. He has total power over Harmonia, but for the last few decades s/he has not been seen. Civil war broke out in Harmonia in the year 237 because of this, although in the end, the uprising was put down. In his absence the political machinations of Harmonia are handled by bishops and the aristocracy. Some suspect that he is no longer alive. Politics is handled by the Aristocrats after his disappearance.

Hikusaak remains a complete enigma. The above appearance is based on a Drunk Man's guess.
