Stéphan is a Reverend of Sancella Unionism in the Regalian Empire. He has served as both, a patriarch of a noble household and later as High Reverend of the church in his life, however nowadays he spends his last time in Aloria spreading the love and embrace of Unionism and not proselytising it as before.
He is a loving father, despite often having been away during his children's childhoods, he has often been seen as a cozy grandfather type who will try to see the good in anyone who will listen to the wisdom he has gathered over a lifetime, and he is in good Ithanian style a lover of good wine, good cheese and good conversations with old friends.

- Choose your Character Alignment
- Stéphan would be defined as a Lawful Neutral character. For him upholding the way of the law (holy law first, secular second) is a way of life that preserves the Empire and his sanity, defining the state of the country not by the amount of wars it engages in, but by how devout it is.
- Choose your Character Personality Type
- ENTP: He likes to debate, think of new ways of looking at the religion, but most importantly for his way of life he is convinced to convert through words rather than sword, something he then does possible more than needed.
- Choose your Character's Religion
- Unionism 10/10. Being of the clergy, first Curate, then Reverend, then High Reverend, Stéphan is rather unsurprisingly as devout a Unionist as they come in Aloria. While not everything he has done is seen as good by others, everything he has done was done in the hope of furthering the Great Way
Weaknesses
- Personality Oriented Weakness (Inconsiderate)
- Personality Oriented Weakness (Argumentative)
Stéphan was born in the summer of 213 AC. As Stéphan grew to the age of four it was quite evident that he was a quiet child. While his twin, Sébastien, was out playing he was inside studying and beginning his training. He kept mostly to himself, speaking only when spoken to and to his mother's distress he showed little emotion to anyone. This changed however with the birth of Victoria. When he held his sister for the first time his heart warmed and a connection to her was made. As time progressed Stéphan clung to Victoria, going wherever she went. Her laughter brought him great amounts of joy and her tears brought upon his rage. This started when an abusive maid who was watching the two hit Victoria across the back with a rolling pin for misbehaving. Stéphan made an oath to himself that day that none would harm his beloved sister. This started an obsession with getting stronger, constantly telling himself that he was not yet strong enough. The pious and studying side of him still kept growing however, and he hoped that with the physical training and being a holy man he could achieve this.
Soon after is where his training in the Priscelle school began. Him being a man, forced him to move far away to the school in Collège des Prêtres in the city of La Portée du Paradis, which at first struck with with awe as he entered the much grander city of Calemberg than any other city he had ever visited before. His initial years of training was hard for him, feeling he was being treated like a servant, but he kept being tenacious to keep his vow to his sister. The later years, when actual Sancella was read and studied to no end, Stéphan stayed up late, reading, theorising and self-debating over the different kinds of Unionism, and the details of the established creeds within these interpretations. After ten years were gone Stéphan was a man at the age of 22 and ready to act as a priest in his homelands.
When he came home, it was three years after his father had died. His brother, who should have inherited, ruled for a few weeks before decided to abdicate the family to a sibling. Stéphan being the next in line was summoned from the Dom, but he declined stating that he would focus on his studies rather than keep a business and lineage alive, and thusly his sister Victoria gained the control of the family.
His sister ruled fairly and even made the family move to Regalia for a few years before trying to venture for a colony in Hadar. Stéphan seeing it as an opportunity to convert pagans of the archipelago journeyed with the family and they stayed there for a year before his sister fell ill and decided to abandon the colony because of the harsh work without support from outside sources. She decided to move the family back to Regalia and work to establish the Valeur name like in years gone by.
Soon after their arrival, Victoria declared herself retired as the family matriarch and handed over the control to Stéphan who had now experience in the noble scene as well as the pious ways of the faith. Stéphan quickly made deals with the Angle Veer houses, in common fear of the grander house Harhold, these deals were proposed by Stéphan's good friend Theodore Artiemus, but the control and credit of which were given to Gallus Tyrannian, who maneuvered rebel troops to retaliate and strike back Harhold forces. Artiemus soon merged with house Valeur as old family ties were revealed and Artiemus had a courtship with house Peirgarten, Stéphan allowed Theodore to adopt the Valeur name.
Months later, Stéphan had further dealing with Tyrannian, and after long discussions they decided to merge the two family businesses under the Tyrannian name, despite the Valeur trade being the bigger company; Stéphan was more focused on trade and piety than prestige and thusly it was established that all Valeurs should take on the name Tyrannian. This was triggered after Stéphan became a reverend and had to focus on his diocese as a holy man.
As he gained ardor within the chambers of the Synod, he was in 306 elected as High Reverend of the Sancella Church, a title which lasted shortly due to complications between being a Reverend and a landed noble from inheriting old family lands. Thus he removed himself completely from both scenes until the last creed was revealed in the winter of 307, prompting him to create his own church based on compassion and cooperation.
From 307 and towards present time he has continued his proselytizing in the Empire, mostly focusing on the Priscelle Regions, teaching about the safety and security in a church based around neighbourly help and compassion for the fellow man and community. He has recently returned to the Holy City, looking to find some time to spend with family.
