Stephanus di Acanthia

Stephanus was Rosesean to his core - he cared little for governance and sought his pleasures when and where they came, known for being a gracious host with minimal cares. 
He nonetheless had a conniving side to him - more than equal to that of his wife, surprisingly clever and deceitful he managed to rein his nobles in far more efficiently than his wife has been able to, though this didn't keep him from spending money he didn't have. 
He left numerous illegitimate children - though by Rosesean law they do have claim to the throne - that he had his Archmage quietly eliminating. 
After his death - which happened under mysterious circumstances, later revealed in a vision to have been orchestrated by his son - his widow took the regency as their son needed time for mourning, she proceeded to consolidate power, maintain it, and has been quick to enforce her rule as brutally as necessary... often leaving Stephanus to be remembered more fondly than perhaps he deserved.
