: During one such heist, this time in competition against a Garlean company, R'phael was captured. However, he escaped death through his father's intervention. His father turned out not to be not a foreign academic, but a Garlean agent by the name of Aeson het Martialis — a former Agens in Rebus who rose to the office of Magister Officorium and later appointed Praetor. Aeson holds jurisdiction over one of Garlemald's covert investigation organizations. Therefore, it was no coincidence that R'phael met his father after capture; Aeson planned the meeting. Through intelligence gathering and investigation, Aeson predicted which targets would most appeal to his son. He then used this information to bait a trap for R'phael. After capture, the cost of R'phael's life was his conscription into the Empire. | : During one such heist, this time in competition against a Garlean company, R'phael was captured.

− | :'''Currently:''' <br> R’phael is an Agens in Rebus (tr. “Those Active in Matters”, colloq. “Magister's Men”). As Imperial Couriers, official duties of the Agens in Rebus can include: handling communication systems; delivery of imperial commands; carrying warrants; customs agent; billeting soldiers; arrest of senior officials; providing armed escorts; and the enforcement of imperial regulations. They can also serve as ambassadors. Some have been called upon for assassination. Specifically, R’phael is a member of the Curiosi, an intelligence unit within the Agens in Rebus. Members of the Curiosi sit outside the jurisdiction of provincial governors and have the authority to act as inspectors and secret police for the Emperor. As a civilian militia, the Agens operate separately from the military associated frumentarri and are arranged in corps similar to that of a cavalry unit. Senior agents are appointed the title of Princeps Officii, while the organization itself falls under the jurisdiction of the Magister Officiorum. Unless otherwise stated by higher ups, Curiosi are immune to prosecution in civil and criminal cases. For fear that such immunity will lead to corruption and abuse of power, one critic refers to the Curiosi as “sheep-dogs who joined the wolf pack.” | + | :'''Currently:''' <br> R’phael is an '''Agens in Rebus''' (tr. “Those Active in Matters”, colloq. “Magister's Men”).
