== Biography ==
see: Cleos Vortigon bio
Cleos was born in the winter of 385 to Castor Vortigon, Prince of Terresol and Minister of Commerce, by a household scullery maid named Reubexea. Despite his lowborn status, Cleos was acknowledged by Castor, and permitted to openly be a part of the Vortigon household.
=== Kelwynd Conquest ===
Cleos was only a year into his squireship under Ser Erazmyn Loudarrim when his father and his king-uncle, Caspian IV, were murdered by Vronti Kelwynd's assassins. On the same night, his mother vanished from the palace. Cleos remained with his family in Sol for the duration of the war. When Vronti Kelwynd entered the city as the impending king with the support and promised hand of Charity Lane, Cleos was banished for his own safety along with the other surviving Vortigons—his uncles Caderyn and Carney, and his young cousin Fleur—but whereas they left the country altogether, Cleos was secreted away to a petty manor in the Fields of Kalaostriga, a fertile lake basin in southern Falsa.
=== Coup against Charity Lane ===
Cleos remained in hiding for four years, working as a farm hand alongside Falsan peasants and making many close friends, but his true identity was known only to the steward of the manor, and its demarch, Lord Rhey Noundrim. 
In the autumn of 402, Wisdom Serafina Ashburnum sought him out after discerning his location through the old Vortigon loyalist network that lay in the clergy. She was the spearhead of a conspiracy to depose the impious and tradition-breaking Charity Lane, and replace her with Cleos, the closest thing to a true Vortigon that at hand to the clergy. Cleos was given a Wisdom tutor to continue his long-interrupted education over the winter, and in the spring of 403, Serafina returned to retrieve him, and he was brought to Sol.
