Chlodomer Bavarac was born in Horizon, a hamlet in Western Thanalan. His father, Merovech Bavarac, served as a decorated member of the Brass Blades of the Rose for his efforts against amalj'aa incursions, and was stationed in Horizon's Edge at the time of Chlodomer's birth. He spent part of his childhood in Black Brush and Drybone, before his father's position in the Brass Blades eventually took him to the city of Ul'dah. His father was born in Ala Mhigo and left for the city-state of Ul'dah in pursuit for another lifestyle.<br />
<br />
Chlodomer grew up in Ul'dah in a militaristic household, being disciplined regularly by his father. In his youth, Chlodomer aspired to become a Brass Blade, as his father had been. Due to the demanding position of his only parent, there was little time in which a bond was able to be established. <br />
<br />
Chlodomer became a ward of his father's friend, a Sultansworn, Sigismund Rubin. Sigismund was a highly respected paladin in his ranks yet had close relations with the city-state's Syndicate. Whenever Chlodomer was in trouble, Sigismund helped him, even teaching him how to be more virtuous. Eventually, Sigismund took Chlodomer in as his own squire. <br />

He was previously a mercenary dedicated in conducting warfare, protection or manhunts mercilessly and with efficiency in order to bring a swift end to conflicts.

<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)"> Early Life ===<br />
<br />
Chlodomer Bavarac was born in Horizon, a hamlet in Western Thanalan. His father, Merovech Bavarac, served as a decorated member of the Brass Blades of the Rose for his efforts against amalj'aa incursions, and was stationed in Horizon's Edge at the time of Chlodomer's birth. He spent part of his childhood in Black Brush and Drybone, before his father's position in the Brass Blades eventually took him to the city of Ul'dah. His father was born in Ala Mhigo and left for the city-state of Ul'dah in pursuit for another lifestyle.<br />
<br />
Chlodomer grew up in Ul'dah in a militaristic household, being disciplined regularly by his father. In his youth, Chlodomer aspired to become a Brass Blade, as his father had been. Due to the demanding position of his only parent, there was little time in which a bond was able to be established. <br />
<br />
Chlodomer became a ward of his father's friend, a Sultansworn, Sigismund Rubin. Sigismund was a highly respected paladin in his ranks yet had close relations with the city-state's Syndicate. Whenever Chlodomer was in trouble, Sigismund helped him, even teaching him how to be more virtuous. Eventually, Sigismund took Chlodomer in as his own squire. <br />
<br />
When of age, Chlodomer passed his trials and eventually succeeded in becoming a Sultansworn.<br />
<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)"> Sultansworn ===<br />
<br />
When a Sultansworn, Chlodomer kept a clean public record, but along with Sigismund, his mentor, he was involved in performing side assignments for the Syndicate. A few years later, Chlodomer grew distant of Sigismund, falling for the temptations of less orthodox offers provided by Monetarists. Chlodomer provided information that would be regarded as exclusive to royalists or paladins to Monetarists and even the criminal underworld. Chlodomer committed other acts deemed criminal and treasonous to the sultanate, however the evidence of his actions were insufficient to act upon. <br />
<br />
When better evidence of his crimes were found, action was immediately declared against Chlodomer, but through a diplomatic meeting with Chlodomer, members of the Syndicate and the Sultansworn, a "consensus" was made by merely stripping Chlodomer of his position as Sultansworn. Chlodomer retained most of his knowledge of a paladin, but much of his virtuosity was long replaced with cynicism.<br />
<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)"> Mercenary career ===<br />
<br />
The concept of becoming a free paladin did not hold true to Chlodomer, forsaking the teachings behind to being a paladin and only preserving the practical knowledge of combat that those within the Sultansworn had. Chlodomer became a freelance mercenary, performing various contracts from numerous locations in Eorzea, even at times venturing beyond the continent to exotic isles to seek out more expensive work. The type of work Chlodomer handled hardly had any moral boundaries, as long as they made use of his martial prowess, else he would turn them down. <br />
<br />
He had been hired under the service of a rich merchant of Ul'dah, '''[[Emmette Stringers|<span style="color:#FFD78F">Emmette Stringers</span>]]''', leader of the "Obsidian Coterie". His contract with the Obsidian Coterie ended abruptly and so he was hired as an enforcer by a shipping company known as the "Diadem Company". Only a moon after his hiring, Chlodomer, who was responsible for the security of Diadem, was influenced by a voidsent through unclear circumstances, and brought the Diadem Company into a crisis. Chlodomer proceeded to assault his employees during an assignment and even kidnapped one of them. Eventually, Chlodomer managed to eventually break free from the voidsent's influence and suns later apparently killed it in combat.

'''Chlodomer Bavarac''' ''(pronounced /Clo-doh-mer/ /Bah-vah-rack/)'', informally known as the "Blackguard" to some, is an employee of the Diadem Company that is led by '''[[Amelia Cartier|<span style="color:#FFD78F">Amelia Cartier</span>]]'''. He was previously a mercenary dedicated in conducting warfare, protection or manhunts mercilessly and with efficiency in order to bring a swift end to conflicts. An austere and bold swordsman, Chlodomer traveled around Eorzea to offer his martial prowess to the highest bidder. Before his mercenary trade, Chlodomer was originaly a Sultansworn but had to abandon his ties with the order after numerous charges of misconduct and affiliations with criminal organizations.<br />
<br />
==<div style="font-size: 20px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)"> Biography ==<br />
<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)"> Early Life ===<br />
<br />
Chlodomer Bavarac was born in Horizon, a hamlet in Western Thanalan. His father, Merovech Bavarac, served as a decorated member of the Brass Blades of the Rose for his efforts against amalj'aa incursions, and was stationed in Horizon's Edge at the time of Chlodomer's birth. He spent part of his childhood in Black Brush and Drybone, before his father's position in the Brass Blades eventually took him to the city of Ul'dah. His father was born in Ala Mhigo and left for the city-state of Ul'dah in pursuit for another lifestyle.<br />
<br />
Chlodomer grew up in Ul'dah in a militaristic household, being disciplined regularly by his father. In his youth, Chlodomer aspired to become a Brass Blade, as his father had been. Due to the demanding position of his only parent, there was little time in which a bond was able to be established. <br />
<br />
Chlodomer became a ward of his father's friend, a Sultansworn, Sigismund Rubin. Sigismund was a highly respected paladin in his ranks yet had close relations with the city-state's Syndicate. Whenever Chlodomer was in trouble, Sigismund helped him, even teaching him how to be more virtuous. Eventually, Sigismund took Chlodomer in as his own squire. <br />
<br />
When of age, Chlodomer passed his trials and eventually succeeded in becoming a Sultansworn.<br />
<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)"> Sultansworn ===<br />
<br />
When a Sultansworn, Chlodomer kept a clean public record, but along with Sigismund, his mentor, he was involved in performing side assignments for the Syndicate. A few years later, Chlodomer grew distant of Sigismund, falling for the temptations of less orthodox offers provided by Monetarists. Chlodomer provided information that would be regarded as exclusive to royalists or paladins to Monetarists and even the criminal underworld. Chlodomer committed other acts deemed criminal and treasonous to the sultanate, however the evidence of his actions were insufficient to act upon. <br />
<br />
When better evidence of his crimes were found, action was immediately declared against Chlodomer, but through a diplomatic meeting with Chlodomer, members of the Syndicate and the Sultansworn, a "consensus" was made by merely stripping Chlodomer of his position as Sultansworn. Chlodomer retained most of his knowledge of a paladin, but much of his virtuosity was long replaced with cynicism.<br />
<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)"> Mercenary career ===<br />
<br />
The concept of becoming a free paladin did not hold true to Chlodomer, forsaking the teachings behind to being a paladin and only preserving the practical knowledge of combat that those within the Sultansworn had. Chlodomer became a freelance mercenary, performing various contracts from numerous locations in Eorzea, even at times venturing beyond the continent to exotic isles to seek out more expensive work. The type of work Chlodomer handled hardly had any moral boundaries, as long as they made use of his martial prowess, else he would turn them down. <br />
<br />

'''Chlodomer Bavarac''' ''(pronounced /Clo-doh-mer/ /Bah-vah-rack/)'' is an employee of the Diadem Company that is led by '''[[Amelia Cartier|<span style="color:#FFD78F">Amelia Cartier</span>]]'''. He was previously a mercenary dedicated in conducting warfare, protection or manhunts mercilessly and with efficiency in order to bring a swift end to conflicts. An austere and bold swordsman, Chlodomer traveled around Eorzea to offer his martial prowess to the highest bidder. Before his mercenary trade, Chlodomer was originaly a Sultansworn but had to abandon his ties with the order after numerous charges of misconduct and affiliations with criminal organizations.<br />
<br />
==<div style="font-size: 20px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)"> Early Life ==<br />
<br />
Chlodomer Bavarac was born in Horizon, a hamlet in Western Thanalan. His father, Merovech Bavarac, served as a decorated member of the Brass Blades of the Rose for his efforts against amalj'aa incursions, and was stationed in Horizon's Edge at the time of Chlodomer's birth. He spent part of his childhood in Black Brush and Drybone, before his father's position in the Brass Blades eventually took him to the city of Ul'dah. His father was born in Ala Mhigo and left for the city-state of Ul'dah in pursuit for another lifestyle.<br />
<br />
Chlodomer grew up in Ul'dah in a militaristic household, being disciplined regularly by his father. In his youth, Chlodomer aspired to become a Brass Blade, as his father had been. Due to the demanding position of his only parent, there was little time in which a bond was able to be established. <br />
<br />
Chlodomer became a ward of his father's friend, a Sultansworn, Sigismund Rubin. Sigismund was a highly respected paladin in his ranks yet had close relations with the city-state's Syndicate. Whenever Chlodomer was in trouble, Sigismund helped him, even teaching him how to be more virtuous. Eventually, Sigismund took Chlodomer in as his own squire. <br />
<br />
When of age, Chlodomer passed his trials and eventually succeeded in becoming a Sultansworn.<br />
<br />
==<div style="font-size: 20px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)"> Sultansworn ==<br />
<br />
When a Sultansworn, Chlodomer kept a clean public record, but along with Sigismund, his mentor, he was involved in performing side assignments for the Syndicate. A few years later, Chlodomer grew distant of Sigismund, falling for the temptations of less orthodox offers provided by Monetarists. Chlodomer provided information that would be regarded as exclusive to royalists or paladins to Monetarists and even the criminal underworld. Chlodomer committed other acts deemed criminal and treasonous to the sultanate, however the evidence of his actions were insufficient to act upon. <br />
<br />
When better evidence of his crimes were found, action was immediately declared against Chlodomer, but through a diplomatic meeting with Chlodomer, members of the Syndicate and the Sultansworn, a "consensus" was made by merely stripping Chlodomer of his position as Sultansworn. Chlodomer retained most of his knowledge of a paladin, but much of his virtuosity was long replaced with cynicism.<br />
<br />
==<div style="font-size: 20px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)"> Mercenary career ==<br />
<br />
The concept of becoming a free paladin did not hold true to Chlodomer, forsaking the teachings behind to being a paladin and only preserving the practical knowledge of combat that those within the Sultansworn had. Chlodomer became a freelance mercenary, performing various contracts from numerous locations in Eorzea, even at times venturing beyond the continent to exotic isles to seek out more expensive work. The type of work Chlodomer handled hardly had any moral boundaries, as long as they made use of his martial prowess, else he would turn them down. <br />
<br />
He had been hired under the service of a rich merchant of Ul'dah, '''[[Emmette Stringers|<span style="color:#FFD78F">Emmette Stringers</span>]]''', leader of the "Obsidian Coterie". His contract with the Obsidian Coterie ended abruptly and so he was hired as an enforcer by a shipping company known as the "Diadem Company". Only a moon after his hiring, Chlodomer, who was responsible for the security of Diadem, was influenced by a voidsent through unclear circumstances, and brought the Diadem Company into a crisis. Chlodomer proceeded to assault his employees during an assignment and even kidnapped one of them. Eventually, Chlodomer managed to eventually break free from the voidsent's influence and suns later apparently killed it in combat. Some speculate Chlodomer liberated himself from the voidsent's spell due to good fortune, willpower or a sinister pact.<br />

<br />
Due to the crisis in Diadem, Chlodomer obtained a new purpose and with Amelia Cartier's assistance, established the Order of the Sanctum. The Order is without a doubt sanctioned by Diade. It is dedicated in researching and defeating the occult in order to overcome the void's influence.<br />

'''Chlodomer Bavarac''' ''(pronounced /Clo-doh-mer/ /Bah-vah-rack/)'' is an employee of the Diadem Company that is led by '''[[Amelia Cartier|<span style="color:#FFD78F">Amelia Cartier</span>]]'''. He was previously a mercenary dedicated in conducting warfare, protection or manhunts mercilessly and with efficiency in order to bring a swift end to conflicts. An austere and bold swordsman, Chlodomer traveled around Eorzea to offer his martial prowess to the highest bidder. Before his mercenary trade, Chlodomer was originaly a Sultansworn but had to abandon his ties with the order after numerous charges of misconduct and affiliations with criminal organizations.<br />
<br />
==<div style="font-size: 20px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)"> Early Life ==<br />
<br />
Chlodomer Bavarac was born in Horizon, a hamlet in Western Thanalan. His father, Merovech Bavarac, served as a decorated member of the Brass Blades of the Rose for his efforts against amalj'aa incursions, and was stationed in Horizon's Edge at the time of Chlodomer's birth. He spent part of his childhood in Black Brush and Drybone, before his father's position in the Brass Blades eventually took him to the city of Ul'dah. His father was born in Ala Mhigo and left for the city-state of Ul'dah in pursuit for another lifestyle.<br />
<br />
Chlodomer grew up in Ul'dah in a militaristic household, being disciplined regularly by his father. In his youth, Chlodomer aspired to become a Brass Blade, as his father had been. Due to the demanding position of his only parent, there was little time in which a bond was able to be established. <br />
<br />
Chlodomer became a ward of his father's friend, a Sultansworn, Sigismund Rubin. Sigismund was a highly respected paladin in his ranks yet had close relations with the city-state's Syndicate. Whenever Chlodomer was in trouble, Sigismund helped him, even teaching him how to be more virtuous. Eventually, Sigismund took Chlodomer in as his own squire. <br />
<br />
When of age, Chlodomer passed his trials and eventually succeeded in becoming a Sultansworn.<br />
<br />
==<div style="font-size: 20px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)"> Sultansworn ==<br />
<br />
When a Sultansworn, Chlodomer kept a clean public record, but along with Sigismund, his mentor, he was involved in performing side assignments for the Syndicate. A few years later, Chlodomer grew distant of Sigismund, falling for the temptations of less orthodox offers provided by Monetarists. Chlodomer provided information that would be regarded as exclusive to royalists or paladins to Monetarists and even the criminal underworld. Chlodomer committed other acts deemed criminal and treasonous to the sultanate, however the evidence of his actions were insufficient to act upon. <br />
<br />
When better evidence of his crimes were found, action was immediately declared against Chlodomer, but through a diplomatic meeting with Chlodomer, members of the Syndicate and the Sultansworn, a "consensus" was made by merely stripping Chlodomer of his position as Sultansworn. Chlodomer retained most of his knowledge of a paladin, but much of his virtuosity was long replaced with cynicism.<br />
<br />
==<div style="font-size: 20px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)"> Mercenary career ==<br />
<br />
The concept of becoming a free paladin did not hold true to Chlodomer, forsaking the teachings behind to being a paladin and only preserving the practical knowledge of combat that those within the Sultansworn had. Chlodomer became a freelance mercenary, performing various contracts from numerous locations in Eorzea, even at times venturing beyond the continent to exotic isles to seek out more expensive work. The type of work Chlodomer handled hardly had any moral boundaries, as long as they made use of his martial prowess, else he would turn them down. <br />
<br />
He had been hired under the service of a rich merchant of Ul'dah, '''[[Emmette Stringers|<span style="color:#FFD78F">Emmette Stringers</span>]]''', leader of the "Obsidian Coterie". His contract with the Obsidian Coterie ended abruptly and so he was hired as an enforcer by a shipping company known as the "Diadem Company". Only a moon after his hiring, Chlodomer, who was responsible for the security of Diadem, was influenced by a voidsent through unclear circumstances, and brought the Diadem Company into a crisis. Chlodomer proceeded to assault his employees during an assignment and even kidnapped one of them. Eventually, Chlodomer managed to eventually break free from the voidsent's influence and suns later apparently killed it in combat. Some speculate Chlodomer liberated himself from the voidsent's spell due to good fortune or willpower. <br />
<br />
==<div style="font-size: 20px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">Prosecutor==<br />
<br />
Chlodomer has now established his position in the Diadem Company as a prosecutor against the void, abandoning his trade as a mercenary to study ways to better fight against voidsent and other aberrations.<br />

He spent part of his childhood in Black Brush and Drybone, before his father's position in the Brass Blades eventually took him to the city of Ul'dah. His father was born in Ala Mhigo and left for the city-state of Ul'dah in pursuit for another lifestyle.<br />
<br />
Chlodomer grew up in Ul'dah in a militaristic household, being disciplined regularly by his father. In his youth, Chlodomer aspired to become a Brass Blade, as his father had been. Due to the demanding position of his only parent, there was little time in which a bond was able to be established. <br />
<br />
Chlodomer became a ward of his father's friend, a Sultansworn, Sigismund Rubin. Sigismund was a highly respected paladin in his ranks yet had close relations with the city-state's Syndicate. Whenever Chlodomer was in trouble, Sigismund helped him, even teaching him in how to becoming more virtuous. Eventually, Sigismund took Chlodomer in as his own squire. <br />
<br />
When of age, Chlodomer passed his trials and eventually succeeded in becoming a Sultansworn.<br />
<br />

<br />
When a Sultansworn, Chlodomer kept a clean public record, but along with Sigismund, his mentor, he was involved in performing side assignments with the Syndicate. A few years later, Chlodomer grew distant of Sigismund, falling for the temptations of less orthodox offers provided by Monetarists. Chlodomer provided information that would be regarded as exclusive to royalists or paladins to Monetarists and even the criminal underworld. Chlodomer committed other acts deemed criminal and treasonous to the sultanate, however the evidence of his actions were insufficient to act upon. <br />
<br />
When better evidence of his crimes were found, action was immediately declared against Chlodomer, but through a diplomatic meeting with Chlodomer, members of the Syndicate and the Sultansworn, a "consensus" was made in merely stripping Chlodomer of his position as Sultansworn. Chlodomer retained most of his knowledge of a paladin, but much of his virtuosity was long replaced with cynicism. <br />
<br />
==<div style="font-size: 20px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)"> Mercenary career ==<br />
<br />
The concept of becoming a free paladin did not hold true to Chlodomer, forsaking the teachings behind to being a paladin and only preserving the practical knowledge of combat that those within the Sultansworn had. Chlodomer became a freelance mercenary, performing various contracts from numerous locations in Eorzea, even at times venturing beyond the continent to exotic isles to seek out more expensive work. The type of work Chlodomer handled hardly had any moral boundaries, as long as they made use of his martial prowess, else he would turn them down. <br />
<br />
Recently, he has been seen under the service of a rich merchant of Ul'dah, '''[[Emmette Stringers|<span style="color:#FFD78F">Emmette Stringers</span>]]'''.<br />

==<div style="font-size: 20px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">Basic Info ==<br />
<br />
Bartolomeo Filangieri (pronounced /Bar-toll-o-mayo/ /Fee-lan-gie-érie/) is a midlander hyur born from a noble family in the Kingdom of Jeridia, an island in the middle of the Rhotano Sea. His nameday is on the 16th Sun of 6th Astral Moon.<br />
<br />
At a young age Bartolomeo was inducted in a knightly order dedicated in eradicating miqo'te tribes that harrassed the Jeridian locals. Informally, those in the order were known as "Coeurlslayers" due to their specialty in dealing with the local tribes.<br />
<br />
After a civil war in his nation, the order Bartolomeo served in collapsed after the result of its Grandmaster being executed. The knights and Bartolomeo were imprisoned and considered as war criminals of the entire realm. <br />
<br />
After heavy convincing from his surviving uncle, the new Doge of Jeridia decided to spare Bartolomeo a lifetime in an oubliette and therefore exiled him from the realm, sending him forth to Eorzea to start his life anew. <br />
<br />
With time Bartolomeo settled in the metropolis of Ul'dah and through new contacts managed to get referred into the Sultansworn. Due to his sanctimonious nature, Bartolomeo eventually broke off with the Sultansworn and became an independant knight.<br />
<br />
As time passed, Bartolomeo eventually proved himself to an Ishgardian noble family and had his family House restored but under the Holy See's delegation.<br />
<br />
==<div style="font-size: 20px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">Appearance and Character==<br />
<br />
For a midlander, Bartolomeo can be described as strapping, tall, and broad shouldered. He is described as being particularly attractive, a trait that was found common in his family. Bartolomeo has gold, penetrating eyes that at times can make one wary during moments of silence. His head holds a properly groomed brown hair which often smells of fresh ointments. His face is always cleanly shaved on a daily basis, making the touch to his skin to be relatively smooth. He has hollow cheeks, dark circles beneath his eyes and thin lips.<br />
<br />
Bartolomeo is a serious, calm, stubborn and bold man. He believes in honoring the legacy of his family rather than discriminate against it as the new nobles of the Jeridian republic do. He believes in justice and being fidelious with his oaths when he can, he will not punish a man if he believes him to be innocent. <br />
<br />
Having spent most of his live in Jeridia fighting against miqo'te clans, Bartolomeo holds a distaste and wariness towards miqo'tes he meets, even more so if they are tribal. The man also holds a great distaste towards Eorzean and Garlean customs, although he remains subtle about his views unless speaking in more subtle environments.<br />

<br />
<span class="mw-headline">''Most of Bartolomeo's family members were killed by the civil war that occurred in Jeridia, some might have survived the onslaught, but at the present Bartolomeo is the only known surviving member of House Filangieri.''</span><br />
<br />
:<span class="mw-headline">'''[[Francesco Filangieri]] (Father, deceased)&nbsp;''': Francesco hosted the most financially providing slave trade in the market of Jeridia. What was done to the slaves are often mystery, but when people used to question the man on the matter, he'd inform them to refer to them as servants rather than slaves. He allowed the masters of these miqo'te slaves to treat them under their jurisdictions, aslong as it did not "violate" Jeridian laws. The man was known in the Kingdom as an influential merchant, and at times aristocrat. Bartolomeo and his father however never managed to meet eye-to-eye, mainly because Francesco disregarded Bartolomeo as the chosen heir to House Filangieri was his older brother, Lorenzo. Once Bartolomeo served Manfredi's knightly order, Francesco stripped all titles from Bartolomeo but kept him in his court. Francesco perished during House Tavelli's civil war, when an angry mob of nobles stabbed him and his oldest son Lorenzo in the middle of the streets.</span><br/><br />
<br />
:<span class="mw-headline">'''[[Iolanda Acquarone]] (Mother, deceased)&nbsp;:''' Despite his father's negligence, Iolanda did not mind Bartolomeo's presence, and often gave him counsel for anything he needed. His mannerisms and acts of behaving like a "gentleman" or dressing formally were received by Iolanda. Although Bartolomeo never witnessed his mother's death, the family manor was barricaded and burnt to the ground while she still remained within it.</span><br/><br />
<br />
:<span class="mw-headline">'''[[Lorenzo Filangieri]] (Brother, deceased)&nbsp;:''' House Filangieri's future head was to be Lorenzo. Despite being arrogant, Lorenzo held great respect for his younger brother and did not hesitate to stand up for him if the event needed it so. Lorenzo was slain alongside his father during Giovanni's civil war.</span><br/><br />
<br />
:<span class="mw-headline">'''[[Giulio Filangieri]] (Uncle, deceased)&nbsp;: '''After the civil war ended, Giulio was the only survivor of House Filangieri that remained in Jeridia with few discrimination. When Bartolomeo was banished and began to reside in Ul'dah, Giulio communicated with him through letters to understand where his life had been taking him. With time Giulio told Bartolomeo that the Doge of Jeridia wished to seek audience and reinstate Bartolomeo's status as a noble. Although Bartolomeo ventured into Jeridia and refused to take part in nobility, Giulio had to plot his way to reclaiming his family's previous status. After Bartolomeo returned to Eorzea, Giulio started to fabricate claims which was shortly noticed by the Doge. The old man, had to escape the island and eventually get in touch with Bartolomeo in the middle of Thanalan. The meeting resulted in a bloodbath after the Doge's cousin, Ludovico Tavelli, emerged with armed forces. Siha Xinkei, who was Bartolomeo's friend at the time, was present in the meeting and eventual combat and while she was nearly overwhelmed. Giulio managed to spare Siha a gruesome fate as he charged in and, unfortunately got killed in her place.</span><br/><br />

Shortly after, the pair met again and ventured out together to talk outside Ul'dah's walls. Still did the woman resume her lewdness, the man grew to take a liking in her, falling under her wave of charm and alluring nature. He accompanied her while he went off towards his campaign for House Rontremont in the Black Shroud. Through petty arguments and personal conversations, the man grew to fancy the woman even further, eventually the two began to hold a highly intimate relationship. After his reward in winning against the Dravanian infiltrator in the Antelope Tribe, Bartolomeo ventured back to Ul'dah in the most subtle of manners to smuggle the young woman to Castle Greywall with him, declaring his love for her officially.<br />

Bartolomeo throughout his later encounters of her ended up assisting her against a monetarist plot in Western Thanalan. Once Bartolomeo left the Sultansworn however, Anelia and Bartolomeo's idealisms clashed, causing a sour taste to emerge Bartolomeo's mouth. Ever since, the two have not spoken.<br />

<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">1549 - 1567===<br />
<br />
Bartolomeo's life began in his family's villa deep within the capital of the Kingdom of Jeridia, an island based in the Rhotano sea. He was the youngest child of Lord Francesco Filangieri and Iolanda Acquarone. His family was highly regarded and generated a high level of influence within the nobility and the crown of Jeridia. House Filangieri's wealth came from the constant exportation of fish and resources, but most of its profit came from the ever dominant slave market that was permitted in the entire island. All of the slaves caught or sold consisted of miqo'tes tribesmen or woman that were found outside of the city's walls. This fortune made Francesco Filangieri highly renowned and decorated throughout Jeridia.<br />
<br />
Francesco determined that the heir to House Filangieri was to be Bartolomeo's older brother, Lorenzo. Thus, Lorenzo was tutored by his father to follow his path. Francesco neglected Bartolomeo, making him carve another path that was different from the rest of his family.<br />
<br />
Noticing Bartolomeo's passion in old tales of knights and chivalry, Francesco had the Grandmaster of the Knights of Jeridia take forth Bartolomeo and mentor him. The old Grandmaster accepted and taught the boy the chivalric code, the Twelve and from there made the young Bartolomeo develop a strong zeal for his culture and beliefs. <br />
<br />
Once reaching the age of 12, Manfredi brought Bartolomeo as his squire. With aiding the Grandmaster with various meager tasks, he was rewarded with sword fighting technique and useful advices in the arts of warfare.<br />
<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">1567 - 1574===<br />
<br />
Once Bartolomeo reached the age of 16, Manfredi finally declared that the young squire was old enough to officially become a knight and member of the order. It was then where his training came to good use but also new techniques and tricks were to be learned, as the knights specialized against repelling pirates but mostly dealt against miqo'te tribesmen that were present beyond the city walls. <br />
<br />
The knights in the order were trained to overcome the odds against a fearsome and outnumbering fighting force of tribals that could always besiege the city. Due to their specialty in fighting against miqo'tes, the people in Jeridia informally refered these knights as "Coeurlslayers", due to the similar ears and tails that both the miqo'te and coeurl have.<br />
<br />
Tensions finally began to grow thicker between the tribals and the kingdom of Jeridia. King Pandolfo the 'Careless' held interest to finally expand his realm by eliminating the nearby tribes. The King officially declared war after a group of Jeridian merchants were seen gruesomely murdered outside the city by a mob of tribals.<br />
<br />
Manfredi and his knightly order were dispatched outside the city. For the entirety of his young adulthood, Bartolomeo had to soak his blade with the blood of miqo'te in order to place his efforts for the order and the war. The order had to sack camps, various tribal settlements that were present throughout the island and win overwhelming battles in the middle of a tropical forest. By the end of the whole war, the population of miqo'te had dropped almost by fifty percent.<br />
<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">1574 - 1577===<br />
<br />
A year after the war had concluded, new issues began to grow within Jeridia's court. A claim for the throne was brought forth by House Tavelli, and therefore blackmailed to place their leader, Giovanni Tavelli, into power. King Pandolfo, as rentless and careless as he was renowned for, denied the accussations. This started a war in the streets of Jeridia's capital, yet the odds seemed hopeless for Tavelli's end in the beginning.<br />
<br />
Through schemes and conspiracies that had been planned throughout the war, House Tavelli managed to create a chain of uprisings by giving the defeated miqo'te words of hope and freedom. Other noble houses also remained in the midst of the plot for diverse reasons and formerly patriotic houses ended up joining the revolutionaries.<br />
<br />
After a few months the tides had turned, the King's loyalists were outmatched, including the order Bartolomeo was with. Francesco and Lorenzo, Bartolomeo's father and brother, were killed by a mob of nobleman in the streets. His mother Iolanda was barricaded in her own villa and burnt alive. <br />
<br />
Eventually the bloodshed would end with the beheadment of both Manfredi and Pandolfo. Those loyal who survived the carnage were either imprisoned, executed or spared if the price was proper. Bartolomeo was casted into an oubliette and remained trapped in there for a whole cycle.<br />
<br />
By year 1577, Bartolomeo was brought forth to the newly reformed court of the Republic of Jeridia. The monarchy was no longer present as it was now a council that governed Jeridia. The laws had been reformed, slavery was abolished, and the head of the council was known as a Doge. <br />
<br />
Giulio Filangieri, Bartolomeo's uncle, had managed to pay the Doge a ransom to have Bartolomeo liberated from his cell. The only drawback over than payment was to banish Bartolomeo from the realm of Jeridia and to never return...<br />

Ever since his exile, Bartolomeo arrived in Ul'dah, with but a bronze plate that covered his torso and lacked refine. He was brought upon an order known as Arcadeus and encountered Anelia Sadowyn, a paladin of the Sultanate of Ul'dah. Intrigued by Anelia's ideals, the worn and former prisoner recollected plenty of what he previously did under the knighthood of Manfredi's order. Eventually, after a dispute, Bartolomeo left Arcadeus and remained independant. <br />
<br />
His uncle Giulio Filangieri provided Bartolomeo with gil and riches from Jeridia, with little hesitation did he invested on the still devastated knight. Bartolomeo's funding continued until Giulio was branded a traitor of the Jeridian republic and fled to Thanalan to meet with his nephew. When offering Bartolomeo a crate of riches, Ludovico Tavelli and a small group of mercenaries arrived. A battle ensued, Giulio perished in the battle, but as did Ludovico and his men thanks to Bartolomeo's blade. <br />
<br />
Bartolomeo became affiliated to a few free companies and eventually, thanks to the influence of Anelia Sadowyn, managed to become a paladin in the Sultansworn. Eventually such was not his fate, as later events made him distrust Ul'dahn politics entirely. He kept ties with Ul'dah and performed investigations for a shadow organisation that functioned with the Immortal Flames. <br />
<br />
He spoked with an Ishgardian noblewoman throughout his time, and her words brought forth a seed of ambition deep inside Bartolomeo's mind. For months Bartolomeo had been planning in ways to restore House Filangieri, where all of its members were either killed or exiled. Eventually, thanks to the influence of an inquisitor that he had acquainted with, House Rontremont offered to restore his legacy by having him undertake a desperate mission to slay a dragon which was under the form of a miqo'te slave. <br />
<br />
Through days of swift planning Bartolomeo managed to eliminate the dragon, with the help of others. Lord Rontremont was pleased at the result and relieved that Bartolomeo had shown capability in fighting against the Dravinian Horde. As promised, the Lord turned Bartolomeo into his vassal but as well rendered him as Lord and noble. Bartolomeo renounced all allegiance to any other city-state. He swore fealty to House Rontremont and the Holy See, and swore to shift his faith towards that of the Ishgardian Orthodox Church.<br />

<big>''"With Sanctimony and Fidelity" <br><small>~Family motto since the foundation of the Ishgardian chapter</small>''</big><br />
</center><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
House Filangieri, its foundations date back throughout lost history where midlander clans conquered the eastern coast of the Jeridian island and then to when the Kingdom was born. No one knows of the predecessors of House Filangieri, other than the two final leaders of the Jeridian nobility, Francesco and Giulio Filangieri, whom both were killed by the rival House Tavelli, back on Jeridia. The Jeridian chapter of House Filangieri was rendered infamous for its power in the slave industry, miqo'te slaves taken from sacked tribal encampments were their main source of income and as well what gave them a dominating presence in the former Kingdom of Jeridia. Eventually, the King's rule was usurped and slavery was rendered a crime, House Filangieri was highly crippled by the end of the war, with Francesco murdered and Giulio left to rule the house alone. Giulio's death only rendered the Jeridian chapter of House Filangieri to extinction.<br />
<br />
Bartolomeo was offered a chance to restore his family name underneath Ishgard's banners, his title would be renewed but he would also fall as becoming a vassal of Lord Rontremont. Bartolomeo was told by House Rontremont in order to restore his family name, he had to slay a dragon shapeshifted as a false miqo'te concubine amongst the seeker "Antelope Tribe". Through a bloody moon Bartolomeo managed to have the dragon slain, eventually resulting in the restoration of House Filangieri, now as an Ishgardian chapter. Alas, due to foreign roots, any in House Filangieri are still not permitted to go beyond Ishgard's gates.<br />
<br />
[[File:CleanCoatFilangieri.png|thumb|right|120px| <span style="color:#000000">Jeridian House Filangieri's sigil.</span>]]<br />
<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">Sigil===<br />
<br />
The sigil of the Jeridian chapter of House Filangieri was that of a black and gold wolf, representing the hard industry that the family once delegated. Bartolomeo however when he had his name restored, changed the sigil to that of a human hand in a pose of benediction. The meaning of such signifies pledge of faith, sincerity, and justice. <br />
<br />
The colors of House Filangieri's coat of arms follows a similar scheme as it has for generations. The black representing constancy, while the gold represents generosity and elevation of mind.<br />
<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">Philosophy===<br />
<br />
House Filangieri's religious beliefs are of course influenced from the Ishgardian Orthodox Church. Those who are infidelious to their oaths, faith, loved ones or lieges - are declared as rivals to House Filangieri. Righteousness and justice are what they seek. If an action makes a mockery of law without a sanctimonious motive, then such culprit can be recognized by the House as an infidel.<br />
<br />
If a member of House Filangieri is declared an infidel, depending on the severity of the crime it can lead to banishment or in extreme cases, death or torture. Fidelity and righteousness is a must beneath the shroud of House Filangieri.<br />
<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">Fiefs===<br />
<br />
House Filangieri presently controls and occupies the fief of Castle Greywall, located within a secluded center of the Coerthas Highlands. It is the current place of residence of Lord Bartolomeo Filangieri.<br />

==<div style="font-size: 20px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">Basic Info ==<br />
<br />
Bartolomeo Filangieri (pronounced /Bar-toll-o-mayo/ /Fee-lan-gie-érie/) is a midlander hyur born from a noble family in the Kingdom of Jeridia, an island in the middle of the Rhotano Sea. His nameday is on the 16th Sun of 6th Astral Moon.<br />
<br />
At a young age Bartolomeo was inducted in a knightly order dedicated in eradicating miqo'te tribes that harrassed the Jeridian locals. Informally, those in the order were known as "Coeurlslayers" due to their specialty in dealing with the local tribes.<br />
<br />
After a civil war in his nation, the order Bartolomeo served in collapsed after the result of its Grandmaster being executed. The knights and Bartolomeo were imprisoned and considered as war criminals of the entire realm. <br />
<br />
After heavy convincing from his surviving uncle, the new Doge of Jeridia decided to spare Bartolomeo a lifetime in an oubliette and therefore exiled him from the realm, sending him forth to Eorzea to start his life anew. <br />
<br />
With time Bartolomeo settled in the metropolis of Ul'dah and through new contacts managed to get referred into the Sultansworn. Due to his sanctimonious nature, Bartolomeo eventually broke off with the Sultansworn and became an independant knight.<br />
<br />
As time passed, Bartolomeo eventually proved himself to an Ishgardian noble family and had his family House restored but under the Holy See's delegation.<br />
<br />
==<div style="font-size: 20px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">Appearance and Character==<br />
<br />
For a midlander, Bartolomeo can be described as strapping, tall, and broad shouldered. He is described as being particularly attractive, a trait that was found common in his family. Bartolomeo has gold, penetrating eyes that at times can make one wary during moments of silence. His head holds a properly groomed brown hair which often smells of fresh ointments. His face is always cleanly shaved on a daily basis, making the touch to his skin to be relatively smooth. He has hollow cheeks, dark circles beneath his eyes and thin lips.<br />
<br />
Bartolomeo is a serious, calm, stubborn and bold man. He believes in honoring the legacy of his family rather than discriminate against it as the new nobles of the Jeridian republic do. He believes in justice and being fidelious with his oaths when he can, he will not punish a man if he believes him to be innocent. <br />
<br />
Having spent most of his live in Jeridia fighting against miqo'te clans, Bartolomeo holds a distaste and wariness towards miqo'tes he meets, even more so if they are tribal. The man also holds a great distaste towards Eorzean and Garlean customs, although he remains subtle about his views unless speaking in more subtle environments.<br />

<br />
<span class="mw-headline">''Most of Bartolomeo's family members were killed by the civil war that occurred in Jeridia, some might have survived the onslaught, but at the present Bartolomeo is the only known surviving member of House Filangieri.''</span><br />
<br />
:<span class="mw-headline">'''[[Francesco Filangieri]] (Father, deceased)&nbsp;''': Francesco hosted the most financially providing slave trade in the market of Jeridia. What was done to the slaves are often mystery, but when people used to question the man on the matter, he'd inform them to refer to them as servants rather than slaves. He allowed the masters of these miqo'te slaves to treat them under their jurisdictions, aslong as it did not "violate" Jeridian laws. The man was known in the Kingdom as an influential merchant, and at times aristocrat. Bartolomeo and his father however never managed to meet eye-to-eye, mainly because Francesco disregarded Bartolomeo as the chosen heir to House Filangieri was his older brother, Lorenzo. Once Bartolomeo served Manfredi's knightly order, Francesco stripped all titles from Bartolomeo but kept him in his court. Francesco perished during House Tavelli's civil war, when an angry mob of nobles stabbed him and his oldest son Lorenzo in the middle of the streets.</span><br/><br />
<br />
:<span class="mw-headline">'''[[Iolanda Acquarone]] (Mother, deceased)&nbsp;:''' Despite his father's negligence, Iolanda did not mind Bartolomeo's presence, and often gave him counsel for anything he needed. His mannerisms and acts of behaving like a "gentleman" or dressing formally were received by Iolanda. Although Bartolomeo never witnessed his mother's death, the family manor was barricaded and burnt to the ground while she still remained within it.</span><br/><br />
<br />
:<span class="mw-headline">'''[[Lorenzo Filangieri]] (Brother, deceased)&nbsp;:''' House Filangieri's future head was to be Lorenzo. Despite being arrogant, Lorenzo held great respect for his younger brother and did not hesitate to stand up for him if the event needed it so. Lorenzo was slain alongside his father during Giovanni's civil war.</span><br/><br />
<br />
:<span class="mw-headline">'''[[Giulio Filangieri]] (Uncle, deceased)&nbsp;: '''After the civil war ended, Giulio was the only survivor of House Filangieri that remained in Jeridia with few discrimination. When Bartolomeo was banished and began to reside in Ul'dah, Giulio communicated with him through letters to understand where his life had been taking him. With time Giulio told Bartolomeo that the Doge of Jeridia wished to seek audience and reinstate Bartolomeo's status as a noble. Although Bartolomeo ventured into Jeridia and refused to take part in nobility, Giulio had to plot his way to reclaiming his family's previous status. After Bartolomeo returned to Eorzea, Giulio started to fabricate claims which was shortly noticed by the Doge. The old man, had to escape the island and eventually get in touch with Bartolomeo in the middle of Thanalan. The meeting resulted in a bloodbath after the Doge's cousin, Ludovico Tavelli, emerged with armed forces. Siha Xinkei, who was Bartolomeo's friend at the time, was present in the meeting and eventual combat and while she was nearly overwhelmed. Giulio managed to spare Siha a gruesome fate as he charged in and, unfortunately got killed in her place.</span><br/><br />

<br />
: <font style="color:#F02311;" size="3">♥</font> [[Tietra Mynhier]] : Erik Mynhier's lost sister met Bartolomeo within a ceremony that occured within the Red Wings' headquarters, barely before meeting one another, the woman rewarded Bartolomeo with various lewd remarks about his posterior. Shortly after, the pair met again and ventured out together to talk outside Ul'dah's walls. Still did the woman resume her lewdness, the man grew to take a liking in her, falling under her wave of charm and alluring nature. He accompanied her while he went off towards his campaign for House Rontremont in the Black Shroud. Through petty arguments and personal conversations, the man grew to fancy the woman even further, eventually the two began to hold a highly intimate relationship. After his reward in winning against the Dravanian infiltrator in the Antelope Tribe, Bartolomeo ventured back to Ul'dah in the most subtle of manners to smuggle the young woman to Castle Greywall with him, declaring his love for her officially.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Askier Mergrey]] : Once known as a terrorist in Ul'dah, while his beloved was held as a hostage by Garleans, the miqo'te managed to gain Bartolomeo's approval as he rescued the man while a band of assassins nearly ended his life. Furthermore, he did so out of kindness, thus proving that tales of his callousness are somewhat exaggerated.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Kale Aideron]] : A soldier of Ul'dah who works with the Brass Blades and the Syndicate. The man first met Bartolomeo in the Grindstone tournament during his time as a free paladin. The two befriended one another as they did not hesitate to watch each other's backs during a conflict in the Quicksand. The man has not met Kale in awhile, but prays to do so in the near future.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Seiletta Rougefeather]] : The elezen Seiletta is one that had encountered Bartolomeo throughout several situations, since his time in Ul'dah and his various trips towards Gridannia. The elezen once aided Bartolomeo in dealing against a group of Ishgardian knights who found the former paladin's presence to be entirely suspicious. With time, the two met again once Bartolomeo became an Ishgardian nobleman.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Xydane Vale]] : Xydane met Bartolomeo during his battle against a dragon in the Black Shroud. His timely appearance certified the favor of the battle to go towards Bartolomeo's end. Bartolomeo and Xydane both were heading towards the direction of Coerthas and during their voyage both shared stories of their past. Intrigued and impressed, Xydane is one of the few that Bartolomeo knows that can be relied upon.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> [[Anelia Sadowyn]] : Anelia was one of the first paladins Bartolomeo had ever set eyes upon in Ul'dah, in reality he was the first ally he held dearly until he departed from Arcadeus. Upon reuniting Anelia offered to refer Bartolomeo into the Sultansworn to undertake its trials. Bartolomeo throughout his later encounters of her ended up assisting her against a monetarist plot in Western Thanalan. Once Bartolomeo left the Sultansworn however, Anelia and Bartolomeo's idealisms clashed, causing a sour taste to emerge Bartolomeo's mouth. Ever since, the two have not spoken.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> [[Siha Xinkei]] : Siha and Bartolomeo met first in Arcadeus, and ever since became close friends throughout his earlier days in Eorzea. The pair were growing close, but eventually their friendship was tarnished while Bartolomeo undertook a mission for the Sultansworn to retrieve a stolen tome. A strong disagreement between Bartolomeo and a crimelord, who was also Siha's friend at the time ensued. The two met each other again a few moons later, this time on better terms, but Bartolomeo still believes that they will forever hold conflicting sets of beliefs.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> [[Bell Ebonwing]] : Bartolomeo's first lover, a miqo'te keeper, raised in the streets of Ul'dah. Bartolomeo's first "mating" was with Bell, a revolutionary act in the former virgin's history. Due to dire circumstances in Ul'dah, the two did not stay with one another. Since their seperation, Bartolomeo shows inability in speaking to her without demonstrating disregard.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> [[Coatleque Crofte]] : The most loyal knight he has met in Eorzea thus far. The two hold differing beliefs and since his departure from the Sultansworn the two have been forever distant from one another. Due to her young age, Bartolomeo doesn't believe that Coatleque carries enough wisdom or if any on that regards.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> [[Jancis Milburga]] : The most gentle of ladies that Bartolomeo has ever settled eyes on, her desire to aid when the two used to encounter one another brought a sense of warmth to Bartolomeo's heart.

<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">1549 - 1567===<br />
<br />
Bartolomeo's life began in his family's villa deep within the capital of the Kingdom of Jeridia, an island based in the Rhotano sea. He was the youngest child of Lord Francesco Filangieri and Iolanda Acquarone. His family was highly regarded and generated a high level of influence within the nobility and the crown of Jeridia. House Filangieri's wealth came from the constant exportation of fish and resources, but most of its profit came from the ever dominant slave market that was permitted in the entire island. All of the slaves caught or sold consisted of miqo'tes tribesmen or woman that were found outside of the city's walls. This fortune made Francesco Filangieri highly renowned and decorated throughout Jeridia.<br />
<br />
Francesco determined that the heir to House Filangieri was to be Bartolomeo's older brother, Lorenzo. Thus, Lorenzo was tutored by his father to follow his path. Francesco neglected Bartolomeo, making him carve another path that was different from the rest of his family.<br />
<br />
Noticing Bartolomeo's passion in old tales of knights and chivalry, Francesco had the Grandmaster of the Knights of Jeridia take forth Bartolomeo and mentor him. The old Grandmaster accepted and taught the boy the chivalric code, the Twelve and from there made the young Bartolomeo develop a strong zeal for his culture and beliefs. <br />
<br />
Once reaching the age of 12, Manfredi brought Bartolomeo as his squire. With aiding the Grandmaster with various meager tasks, he was rewarded with sword fighting technique and useful advices in the arts of warfare.<br />
<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">1567 - 1574===<br />
<br />
Once Bartolomeo reached the age of 16, Manfredi finally declared that the young squire was old enough to officially become a knight and member of the order. It was then where his training came to good use but also new techniques and tricks were to be learned, as the knights specialized against repelling pirates but mostly dealt against miqo'te tribesmen that were present beyond the city walls. <br />
<br />
The knights in the order were trained to overcome the odds against a fearsome and outnumbering fighting force of tribals that could always besiege the city. Due to their specialty in fighting against miqo'tes, the people in Jeridia informally refered these knights as "Coeurlslayers", due to the similar ears and tails that both the miqo'te and coeurl have.<br />
<br />
Tensions finally began to grow thicker between the tribals and the kingdom of Jeridia. King Pandolfo the 'Careless' held interest to finally expand his realm by eliminating the nearby tribes. The King officially declared war after a group of Jeridian merchants were seen gruesomely murdered outside the city by a mob of tribals.<br />
<br />
Manfredi and his knightly order were dispatched outside the city. For the entirety of his young adulthood, Bartolomeo had to soak his blade with the blood of miqo'te in order to place his efforts for the order and the war. The order had to sack camps, various tribal settlements that were present throughout the island and win overwhelming battles in the middle of a tropical forest. By the end of the whole war, the population of miqo'te had dropped almost by fifty percent.<br />
<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">1574 - 1577===<br />
<br />
A year after the war had concluded, new issues began to grow within Jeridia's court. A claim for the throne was brought forth by House Tavelli, and therefore blackmailed to place their leader, Giovanni Tavelli, into power. King Pandolfo, as rentless and careless as he was renowned for, denied the accussations. This started a war in the streets of Jeridia's capital, yet the odds seemed hopeless for Tavelli's end in the beginning.<br />
<br />
Through schemes and conspiracies that had been planned throughout the war, House Tavelli managed to create a chain of uprisings by giving the defeated miqo'te words of hope and freedom. Other noble houses also remained in the midst of the plot for diverse reasons and formerly patriotic houses ended up joining the revolutionaries.<br />
<br />
After a few months the tides had turned, the King's loyalists were outmatched, including the order Bartolomeo was with. Francesco and Lorenzo, Bartolomeo's father and brother, were killed by a mob of nobleman in the streets. His mother Iolanda was barricaded in her own villa and burnt alive. <br />
<br />
Eventually the bloodshed would end with the beheadment of both Manfredi and Pandolfo. Those loyal who survived the carnage were either imprisoned, executed or spared if the price was proper. Bartolomeo was casted into an oubliette and remained trapped in there for a whole cycle.<br />
<br />
By year 1577, Bartolomeo was brought forth to the newly reformed court of the Republic of Jeridia. The monarchy was no longer present as it was now a council that governed Jeridia. The laws had been reformed, slavery was abolished, and the head of the council was known as a Doge. <br />
<br />
Giulio Filangieri, Bartolomeo's uncle, had managed to pay the Doge a ransom to have Bartolomeo liberated from his cell. The only drawback over than payment was to banish Bartolomeo from the realm of Jeridia and to never return...<br />
<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">1577 - Present===<br />
[[File:Bartolomeotier.jpeg|200px|thumb|<span style="color:#000000">Bartolomeo by Tiergan.</span>]]<br />
Ever since his exile, Bartolomeo arrived in Ul'dah, with but a bronze plate that covered his torso and lacked refine. He was brought upon an order known as Arcadeus and encountered Anelia Sadowyn, a paladin of the Sultanate of Ul'dah. Intrigued by Anelia's ideals, the worn and former prisoner recollected plenty of what he previously did under the knighthood of Manfredi's order. Eventually, after a dispute, Bartolomeo left Arcadeus and remained independant. <br />
<br />
His uncle Giulio Filangieri provided Bartolomeo with gil and riches from Jeridia, with little hesitation did he invested on the still devastated knight. Bartolomeo's funding continued until Giulio was branded a traitor of the Jeridian republic and fled to Thanalan to meet with his nephew. When offering Bartolomeo a crate of riches, Ludovico Tavelli and a small group of mercenaries arrived. A battle ensued, Giulio perished in the battle, but as did Ludovico and his men thanks to Bartolomeo's blade. <br />
<br />
Bartolomeo became affiliated to a few free companies and eventually, thanks to the influence of Anelia Sadowyn, managed to become a paladin in the Sultansworn. Eventually such was not his fate, as later events made him distrust Ul'dahn politics entirely. He kept ties with Ul'dah and performed investigations for a shadow organisation that functioned with the Immortal Flames. <br />
<br />
He spoked with an Ishgardian noblewoman throughout his time, and her words brought forth a seed of ambition deep inside Bartolomeo's mind. For months Bartolomeo had been planning in ways to restore House Filangieri, where all of its members were either killed or exiled. Eventually, thanks to the influence of an inquisitor that he had acquainted with, House Rontremont offered to restore his legacy by having him undertake a desperate mission to slay a dragon which was under the form of a miqo'te slave. <br />
<br />
Through days of swift planning Bartolomeo managed to eliminate the dragon, with the help of others. Lord Rontremont was pleased at the result and relieved that Bartolomeo had shown capability in fighting against the Dravinian Horde. As promised, the Lord turned Bartolomeo into his vassal but as well rendered him as Lord and noble. Bartolomeo renounced all allegiance to any other city-state. He swore fealty to House Rontremont and the Holy See, and swore to shift his faith towards that of the Ishgardian Orthodox Church.<br />
<br />

<big>''"With Sanctimony and Fidelity" <br><small>~Family motto since the foundation of the Ishgardian chapter</small>''</big><br />
</center><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
House Filangieri, its foundations date back throughout lost history where midlander clans conquered the eastern coast of the Jeridian island and then to when the Kingdom was born. No one knows of the predecessors of House Filangieri, other than the two final leaders of the Jeridian nobility, Francesco and Giulio Filangieri, whom both were killed by the rival House Tavelli, back on Jeridia. The Jeridian chapter of House Filangieri was rendered infamous for its power in the slave industry, miqo'te slaves taken from sacked tribal encampments were their main source of income and as well what gave them a dominating presence in the former Kingdom of Jeridia. Eventually, the King's rule was usurped and slavery was rendered a crime, House Filangieri was highly crippled by the end of the war, with Francesco murdered and Giulio left to rule the house alone. Giulio's death only rendered the Jeridian chapter of House Filangieri to extinction.<br />
<br />
Bartolomeo was offered a chance to restore his family name underneath Ishgard's banners, his title would be renewed but he would also fall as becoming a vassal of Lord Rontremont. Bartolomeo was told by House Rontremont in order to restore his family name, he had to slay a dragon shapeshifted as a false miqo'te concubine amongst the seeker "Antelope Tribe". Through a bloody moon Bartolomeo managed to have the dragon slain, eventually resulting in the restoration of House Filangieri, now as an Ishgardian chapter. Alas, due to foreign roots, any in House Filangieri are still not permitted to go beyond Ishgard's gates.<br />
<br />
[[File:CleanCoatFilangieri.png|thumb|right|120px| <span style="color:#000000">Jeridian House Filangieri's sigil.</span>]]<br />
<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">Sigil===<br />
<br />
The sigil of the Jeridian chapter of House Filangieri was that of a black and gold wolf, representing the hard industry that the family once delegated. Bartolomeo however when he had his name restored, changed the sigil to that of a human hand in a pose of benediction. The meaning of such signifies pledge of faith, sincerity, and justice. <br />
<br />
The colors of House Filangieri's coat of arms follows a similar scheme as it has for generations. The black representing constancy, while the gold represents generosity and elevation of mind.<br />
<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">Philosophy===<br />
<br />
House Filangieri's religious beliefs are of course influenced from the Ishgardian Orthodox Church. Those who are infidelious to their oaths, faith, loved ones or lieges - are declared as rivals to House Filangieri. Righteousness and justice are what they seek. If an action makes a mockery of law without a sanctimonious motive, then such culprit can be recognized by the House as an infidel.<br />
<br />
If a member of House Filangieri is declared an infidel, depending on the severity of the crime it can lead to banishment or in extreme cases, death or torture. Fidelity and righteousness is a must beneath the shroud of House Filangieri.<br />
<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">Fiefs===<br />
<br />
House Filangieri presently controls and occupies the fief of Castle Greywall, located within a secluded center of the Coerthas Highlands. It is the current place of residence of Lord Bartolomeo Filangieri.<br />

==<div style="font-size: 20px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">Basic Info ==<br />
<br />
Bartolomeo Filangieri (pronounced /Bar-toll-o-mayo/ /Fee-lan-gie-érie/) is a midlander hyur born from a noble family in the Kingdom of Jeridia, an island in the middle of the Rhotano Sea. His nameday is on the 16th Sun of 6th Astral Moon.<br />
<br />
At a young age Bartolomeo was inducted in a knightly order dedicated in eradicating miqo'te tribes that harrassed the Jeridian locals. Informally, those in the order were known as "Coeurlslayers" due to their specialty in dealing with the local tribes.<br />
<br />
After a civil war in his nation, the order Bartolomeo served in collapsed after the result of its Grandmaster being executed. The knights and Bartolomeo were imprisoned and considered as war criminals of the entire realm. <br />
<br />
After heavy convincing from his surviving uncle, the new Doge of Jeridia decided to spare Bartolomeo a lifetime in an oubliette and therefore exiled him from the realm, sending him forth to Eorzea to start his life anew. <br />
<br />
With time Bartolomeo settled in the metropolis of Ul'dah and through new contacts managed to get referred into the Sultansworn. Due to his sanctimonious nature, Bartolomeo eventually broke off with the Sultansworn and became an independant knight.<br />
<br />
As time passed, Bartolomeo eventually proved himself to an Ishgardian noble family and had his family House restored but under the Holy See's delegation.<br />
<br />
==<div style="font-size: 20px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">Appearance and Character==<br />
<br />
For a midlander, Bartolomeo can be described as strapping, tall, and broad shouldered. He is described as being particularly attractive, a trait that was found common in his family. Bartolomeo has gold, penetrating eyes that at times can make one wary during moments of silence. His head holds a properly groomed brown hair which often smells of fresh ointments. His face is always cleanly shaved on a daily basis, making the touch to his skin to be relatively smooth. He has hollow cheeks, dark circles beneath his eyes and thin lips.<br />
<br />
Bartolomeo is a serious, calm, stubborn and bold man. He believes in honoring the legacy of his family rather than discriminate against it as the new nobles of the Jeridian republic do. He believes in justice and being fidelious with his oaths when he can, he will not punish a man if he believes him to be innocent. <br />
<br />
Having spent most of his live in Jeridia fighting against miqo'te clans, Bartolomeo holds a distaste and wariness towards miqo'tes he meets, even more so if they are tribal. The man also holds a great distaste towards Eorzean and Garlean customs, although he remains subtle about his views unless speaking in more subtle environments.<br />

<br />
<span class="mw-headline">''Most of Bartolomeo's family members were killed by the civil war that occurred in Jeridia, some might have survived the onslaught, but at the present Bartolomeo is the only known surviving member of House Filangieri.''</span><br />
<br />
:<span class="mw-headline">'''[[Francesco Filangieri]] (Father, deceased)&nbsp;''': Francesco hosted the most financially providing slave trade in the market of Jeridia. What was done to the slaves are often mystery, but when people used to question the man on the matter, he'd inform them to refer to them as servants rather than slaves. He allowed the masters of these miqo'te slaves to treat them under their jurisdictions, aslong as it did not "violate" Jeridian laws. The man was known in the Kingdom as an influential merchant, and at times aristocrat. Bartolomeo and his father however never managed to meet eye-to-eye, mainly because Francesco disregarded Bartolomeo as the chosen heir to House Filangieri was his older brother, Lorenzo. Once Bartolomeo served Manfredi's knightly order, Francesco stripped all titles from Bartolomeo but kept him in his court. Francesco perished during House Tavelli's civil war, when an angry mob of nobles stabbed him and his oldest son Lorenzo in the middle of the streets.</span><br/><br />
<br />
:<span class="mw-headline">'''[[Iolanda Acquarone]] (Mother, deceased)&nbsp;:''' Despite his father's negligence, Iolanda did not mind Bartolomeo's presence, and often gave him counsel for anything he needed. His mannerisms and acts of behaving like a "gentleman" or dressing formally were received by Iolanda. Although Bartolomeo never witnessed his mother's death, the family manor was barricaded and burnt to the ground while she still remained within it.</span><br/><br />
<br />
:<span class="mw-headline">'''[[Lorenzo Filangieri]] (Brother, deceased)&nbsp;:''' House Filangieri's future head was to be Lorenzo. Despite being arrogant, Lorenzo held great respect for his younger brother and did not hesitate to stand up for him if the event needed it so. Lorenzo was slain alongside his father during Giovanni's civil war.</span><br/><br />
<br />
:<span class="mw-headline">'''[[Giulio Filangieri]] (Uncle, deceased)&nbsp;: '''After the civil war ended, Giulio was the only survivor of House Filangieri that remained in Jeridia with few discrimination. When Bartolomeo was banished and began to reside in Ul'dah, Giulio communicated with him through letters to understand where his life had been taking him. With time Giulio told Bartolomeo that the Doge of Jeridia wished to seek audience and reinstate Bartolomeo's status as a noble. Although Bartolomeo ventured into Jeridia and refused to take part in nobility, Giulio had to plot his way to reclaiming his family's previous status. After Bartolomeo returned to Eorzea, Giulio started to fabricate claims which was shortly noticed by the Doge. The old man, had to escape the island and eventually get in touch with Bartolomeo in the middle of Thanalan. The meeting resulted in a bloodbath after the Doge's cousin, Ludovico Tavelli, emerged with armed forces. Siha Xinkei, who was Bartolomeo's friend at the time, was present in the meeting and eventual combat and while she was nearly overwhelmed. Giulio managed to spare Siha a gruesome fate as he charged in and, unfortunately got killed in her place.</span><br/><br />

<br />
: <font style="color:#F02311;" size="3">♥</font> [[Tietra Mynhier]] : Erik Mynhier's lost sister met Bartolomeo within a ceremony that occured within the Red Wings' headquarters, barely before meeting one another, the woman rewarded Bartolomeo with various lewd remarks about his posterior. Shortly after, the pair met again and ventured out together to talk outside Ul'dah's walls. Still did the woman resume her lewdness, the man grew to take a liking in her, falling under her wave of charm and alluring nature. He accompanied her while he went off towards his campaign for House Rontremont in the Black Shroud. Through petty arguments and personal conversations, the man grew to fancy the woman even further, eventually the two began to hold a highly intimate relationship. After his reward in winning against the Dravanian infiltrator in the Antelope Tribe, Bartolomeo ventured back to Ul'dah in the most subtle of manners to smuggle the young woman to Castle Greywall with him, declaring his love for her officially.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Askier Mergrey]] : Once known as a terrorist in Ul'dah, while his beloved was held as a hostage by Garleans, the miqo'te managed to gain Bartolomeo's approval as he rescued the man while a band of assassins nearly ended his life. Furthermore, he did so out of kindness, thus proving that tales of his callousness are somewhat exaggerated.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Kale Aideron]] : A soldier of Ul'dah who works with the Brass Blades and the Syndicate. The man first met Bartolomeo in the Grindstone tournament during his time as a free paladin. The two befriended one another as they did not hesitate to watch each other's backs during a conflict in the Quicksand. The man has not met Kale in awhile, but prays to do so in the near future.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Seiletta Rougefeather]] : The elezen Seiletta is one that had encountered Bartolomeo throughout several situations, since his time in Ul'dah and his various trips towards Gridannia. The elezen once aided Bartolomeo in dealing against a group of Ishgardian knights who found the former paladin's presence to be entirely suspicious. With time, the two met again once Bartolomeo became an Ishgardian nobleman.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Xydane Vale]] : Xydane met Bartolomeo during his battle against a dragon in the Black Shroud. His timely appearance certified the favor of the battle to go towards Bartolomeo's end. Bartolomeo and Xydane both were heading towards the direction of Coerthas and during their voyage both shared stories of their past. Intrigued and impressed, Xydane is one of the few that Bartolomeo knows that can be relied upon.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> [[Anelia Sadowyn]] : Anelia was one of the first paladins Bartolomeo had ever set eyes upon in Ul'dah, in reality he was the first ally he held dearly until he departed from Arcadeus. Upon reuniting Anelia offered to refer Bartolomeo into the Sultansworn to undertake its trials. Bartolomeo throughout his later encounters of her ended up assisting her against a monetarist plot in Western Thanalan. Once Bartolomeo left the Sultansworn however, Anelia and Bartolomeo's idealisms clashed, causing a sour taste to emerge Bartolomeo's mouth. Ever since, the two have not spoken.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> [[Siha Xinkei]] : Siha and Bartolomeo met first in Arcadeus, and ever since became close friends throughout his earlier days in Eorzea. The pair were growing close, but eventually their friendship was tarnished while Bartolomeo undertook a mission for the Sultansworn to retrieve a stolen tome. A strong disagreement between Bartolomeo and a crimelord, who was also Siha's friend at the time ensued. The two met each other again a few moons later, this time on better terms, but Bartolomeo still believes that they will forever hold conflicting sets of beliefs.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> [[Bell Ebonwing]] : Bartolomeo's first lover, a miqo'te keeper, raised in the streets of Ul'dah. Bartolomeo's first "mating" was with Bell, a revolutionary act in the former virgin's history. Due to dire circumstances in Ul'dah, the two did not stay with one another. Since their seperation, Bartolomeo shows inability in speaking to her without demonstrating disregard.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> [[Coatleque Crofte]] : The most loyal knight he has met in Eorzea thus far. The two hold differing beliefs and since his departure from the Sultansworn the two have been forever distant from one another. Due to her young age, Bartolomeo doesn't believe that Coatleque carries enough wisdom or if any on that regards.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> [[Jancis Milburga]] : The most gentle of ladies that Bartolomeo has ever settled eyes on, her desire to aid when the two used to encounter one another brought a sense of warmth to Bartolomeo's heart. Alas, her desire to help others, even those who are unjust, had once made Bartolomeo concerned of her good health.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> [[Rivienne Delacroux]] : Bartolomeo encountered Rivienne during a voyage around the Black Shroud. Bartolomeo remains wary of the woodlander's motives and feels uncomfortable when she is present. Rivienne's preference of the wilds over the city brought forth a great deal of inquiries from Bartolomeo. The man would not neglect the fact that the woman carries an exotic charm and beauty that can smite a person deeply.<br />

==<div style="font-size: 20px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)"> Backstory ==<br />
<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">1549 - 1567===<br />
<br />
Bartolomeo's life began in his family's villa deep within the capital of the Kingdom of Jeridia, an island based in the Rhotano sea. He was the youngest child of Lord Francesco Filangieri and Iolanda Acquarone. His family was highly regarded and generated a high level of influence within the nobility and the crown of Jeridia. House Filangieri's wealth came from the constant exportation of fish and resources, but most of its profit came from the ever dominant slave market that was permitted in the entire island. All of the slaves caught or sold consisted of miqo'tes tribesmen or woman that were found outside of the city's walls. This fortune made Francesco Filangieri highly renowned and decorated throughout Jeridia.<br />
<br />
Francesco determined that the heir to House Filangieri was to be Bartolomeo's older brother, Lorenzo. Thus, Lorenzo was tutored by his father to follow his path. Francesco neglected Bartolomeo, making him carve another path that was different from the rest of his family.<br />
<br />
Noticing Bartolomeo's passion in old tales of knights and chivalry, Francesco had the Grandmaster of the Knights of Jeridia take forth Bartolomeo and mentor him. The old Grandmaster accepted and taught the boy the chivalric code, the Twelve and from there made the young Bartolomeo develop a strong zeal for his culture and beliefs. <br />
<br />
Once reaching the age of 12, Manfredi brought Bartolomeo as his squire. With aiding the Grandmaster with various meager tasks, he was rewarded with sword fighting technique and useful advices in the arts of warfare.<br />
<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">1567 - 1574===<br />
<br />
Once Bartolomeo reached the age of 16, Manfredi finally declared that the young squire was old enough to officially become a knight and member of the order. It was then where his training came to good use but also new techniques and tricks were to be learned, as the knights specialized against repelling pirates but mostly dealt against miqo'te tribesmen that were present beyond the city walls. <br />
<br />
The knights in the order were trained to overcome the odds against a fearsome and outnumbering fighting force of tribals that could always besiege the city. Due to their specialty in fighting against miqo'tes, the people in Jeridia informally refered these knights as "Coeurlslayers", due to the similar ears and tails that both the miqo'te and coeurl have.<br />
<br />
Tensions finally began to grow thicker between the tribals and the kingdom of Jeridia. King Pandolfo the 'Careless' held interest to finally expand his realm by eliminating the nearby tribes. The King officially declared war after a group of Jeridian merchants were seen gruesomely murdered outside the city by a mob of tribals.<br />
<br />
Manfredi and his knightly order were dispatched outside the city. For the entirety of his young adulthood, Bartolomeo had to soak his blade with the blood of miqo'te in order to place his efforts for the order and the war. The order had to sack camps, various tribal settlements that were present throughout the island and win overwhelming battles in the middle of a tropical forest. By the end of the whole war, the population of miqo'te had dropped almost by fifty percent.<br />
<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">1574 - 1577===<br />
<br />
A year after the war had concluded, new issues began to grow within Jeridia's court. A claim for the throne was brought forth by House Tavelli, and therefore blackmailed to place their leader, Giovanni Tavelli, into power. King Pandolfo, as rentless and careless as he was renowned for, denied the accussations. This started a war in the streets of Jeridia's capital, yet the odds seemed hopeless for Tavelli's end in the beginning.<br />
<br />
Through schemes and conspiracies that had been planned throughout the war, House Tavelli managed to create a chain of uprisings by giving the defeated miqo'te words of hope and freedom. Other noble houses also remained in the midst of the plot for diverse reasons and formerly patriotic houses ended up joining the revolutionaries.<br />
<br />
After a few months the tides had turned, the King's loyalists were outmatched, including the order Bartolomeo was with. Francesco and Lorenzo, Bartolomeo's father and brother, were killed by a mob of nobleman in the streets. His mother Iolanda was barricaded in her own villa and burnt alive. <br />
<br />
Eventually the bloodshed would end with the beheadment of both Manfredi and Pandolfo. Those loyal who survived the carnage were either imprisoned, executed or spared if the price was proper. Bartolomeo was casted into an oubliette and remained trapped in there for a whole cycle.<br />
<br />
By year 1577, Bartolomeo was brought forth to the newly reformed court of the Republic of Jeridia. The monarchy was no longer present as it was now a council that governed Jeridia. The laws had been reformed, slavery was abolished, and the head of the council was known as a Doge. <br />
<br />
Giulio Filangieri, Bartolomeo's uncle, had managed to pay the Doge a ransom to have Bartolomeo liberated from his cell. The only drawback over than payment was to banish Bartolomeo from the realm of Jeridia and to never return...<br />
<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">1577 - Present===<br />
[[File:Bartolomeotier.jpeg|200px|thumb|<span style="color:#000000">Bartolomeo by Tiergan.</span>]]<br />
Ever since his exile, Bartolomeo arrived in Ul'dah, with but a bronze plate that covered his torso and lacked refine. He was brought upon an order known as Arcadeus and encountered Anelia Sadowyn, a paladin of the Sultanate of Ul'dah. Intrigued by Anelia's ideals, the worn and former prisoner recollected plenty of what he previously did under the knighthood of Manfredi's order. Eventually, after a dispute, Bartolomeo left Arcadeus and remained independant. <br />
<br />
His uncle Giulio Filangieri provided Bartolomeo with gil and riches from Jeridia, with little hesitation did he invested on the still devastated knight. Bartolomeo's funding continued until Giulio was branded a traitor of the Jeridian republic and fled to Thanalan to meet with his nephew. When offering Bartolomeo a crate of riches, Ludovico Tavelli and a small group of mercenaries arrived. A battle ensued, Giulio perished in the battle, but as did Ludovico and his men thanks to Bartolomeo's blade. <br />
<br />
Bartolomeo became affiliated to a few free companies and eventually, thanks to the influence of Anelia Sadowyn, managed to become a paladin in the Sultansworn. Eventually such was not his fate, as later events made him distrust Ul'dahn politics entirely. He kept ties with Ul'dah and performed investigations for a shadow organisation that functioned with the Immortal Flames. <br />
<br />
He spoked with an Ishgardian noblewoman throughout his time, and her words brought forth a seed of ambition deep inside Bartolomeo's mind. For months Bartolomeo had been planning in ways to restore House Filangieri, where all of its members were either killed or exiled. Eventually, thanks to the influence of an inquisitor that he had acquainted with, House Rontremont offered to restore his legacy by having him undertake a desperate mission to slay a dragon which was under the form of a miqo'te slave. <br />
<br />
Through days of swift planning Bartolomeo managed to eliminate the dragon, with the help of others. Lord Rontremont was pleased at the result and relieved that Bartolomeo had shown capability in fighting against the Dravinian Horde. As promised, the Lord turned Bartolomeo into his vassal but as well rendered him as Lord and noble. Bartolomeo renounced all allegiance to any other city-state. He swore fealty to House Rontremont and the Holy See, and swore to shift his faith towards that of the Ishgardian Orthodox Church.<br />
<br />
==<div style="font-size: 20px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">House Filangieri==<br />
<br />
<center>[[File:FilangieriSigil.png|220 px]]<br><br><br />
<big>''"With Sanctimony and Fidelity" <br><small>~Family motto since the foundation of the Ishgardian chapter</small>''</big><br />
</center><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
House Filangieri, its foundations date back throughout lost history where midlander clans conquered the eastern coast of the Jeridian island and then to when the Kingdom was born. No one knows of the predecessors of House Filangieri, other than the two final leaders of the Jeridian nobility, Francesco and Giulio Filangieri, whom both were killed by the rival House Tavelli, back on Jeridia. The Jeridian chapter of House Filangieri was rendered infamous for its power in the slave industry, miqo'te slaves taken from sacked tribal encampments were their main source of income and as well what gave them a dominating presence in the former Kingdom of Jeridia. Eventually, the King's rule was usurped and slavery was rendered a crime, House Filangieri was highly crippled by the end of the war, with Francesco murdered and Giulio left to rule the house alone. Giulio's death only rendered the Jeridian chapter of House Filangieri to extinction.<br />
<br />
Bartolomeo was offered a chance to restore his family name underneath Ishgard's banners, his title would be renewed but he would also fall as becoming a vassal of Lord Rontremont. Bartolomeo was told by House Rontremont in order to restore his family name, he had to slay a dragon shapeshifted as a false miqo'te concubine amongst the seeker "Antelope Tribe". Through a bloody moon Bartolomeo managed to have the dragon slain, eventually resulting in the restoration of House Filangieri, now as an Ishgardian chapter. Alas, due to foreign roots, any in House Filangieri are still not permitted to go beyond Ishgard's gates.<br />
<br />
[[File:CleanCoatFilangieri.png|thumb|right|120px| <span style="color:#000000">Jeridian House Filangieri's sigil.</span>]]<br />
<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">Sigil===<br />
<br />
The sigil of the Jeridian chapter of House Filangieri was that of a black and gold wolf, representing the hard industry that the family once delegated. Bartolomeo however when he had his name restored, changed the sigil to that of a human hand in a pose of benediction. The meaning of such signifies pledge of faith, sincerity, and justice. <br />
<br />
The colors of House Filangieri's coat of arms follows a similar scheme as it has for generations. The black representing constancy, while the gold represents generosity and elevation of mind.<br />
<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">Philosophy===<br />
<br />
House Filangieri's religious beliefs are of course influenced from the Ishgardian Orthodox Church. Those who are infidelious to their oaths, faith, loved ones or lieges - are declared as rivals to House Filangieri. Righteousness and justice are what they seek. If an action makes a mockery of law without a sanctimonious motive, then such culprit can be recognized by the House as an infidel.<br />
<br />
If a member of House Filangieri is declared an infidel, depending on the severity of the crime it can lead to banishment or in extreme cases, death or torture. Fidelity and righteousness is a must beneath the shroud of House Filangieri.<br />
<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">Fiefs===<br />
<br />

==<div style="font-size: 20px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">Basic Info ==<br />
<br />
Bartolomeo Filangieri (pronounced /Bar-toll-o-mayo/ /Fee-lan-gie-érie/) is a midlander hyur born from a noble family in the Kingdom of Jeridia, an island in the middle of the Rhotano Sea. His nameday is on the 16th Sun of 6th Astral Moon.<br />
<br />
At a young age Bartolomeo was inducted in a knightly order dedicated in eradicating miqo'te tribes that harrassed the Jeridian locals. Informally, those in the order were known as "Coeurlslayers" due to their specialty in dealing with the local tribes.<br />
<br />
After a civil war in his nation, the order Bartolomeo served in collapsed after the result of its Grandmaster being executed. The knights and Bartolomeo were imprisoned and considered as war criminals of the entire realm. <br />
<br />
After heavy convincing from his surviving uncle, the new Doge of Jeridia decided to spare Bartolomeo a lifetime in an oubliette and therefore exiled him from the realm, sending him forth to Eorzea to start his life anew. <br />
<br />
With time Bartolomeo settled in the metropolis of Ul'dah and through new contacts managed to get referred into the Sultansworn. Due to his sanctimonious nature, Bartolomeo eventually broke off with the Sultansworn and became an independant knight.<br />
<br />
As time passed, Bartolomeo eventually proved himself to an Ishgardian noble family and had his family House restored but under the Holy See's delegation.<br />
<br />
==<div style="font-size: 20px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">Appearance and Character==<br />
<br />
For a midlander, Bartolomeo can be described as strapping, tall, and broad shouldered. He is described as being particularly attractive, a trait that was found common in his family. Bartolomeo has gold, penetrating eyes that at times can make one wary during moments of silence. His head holds a properly groomed brown hair which often smells of fresh ointments. His face is always cleanly shaved on a daily basis, making the touch to his skin to be relatively smooth. He has hollow cheeks, dark circles beneath his eyes and thin lips.<br />
<br />
Bartolomeo is a serious, calm, stubborn and bold man. He believes in honoring the legacy of his family rather than discriminate against it as the new nobles of the Jeridian republic do. He believes in justice and being fidelious with his oaths when he can, he will not punish a man if he believes him to be innocent. <br />
<br />
Having spent most of his live in Jeridia fighting against miqo'te clans, Bartolomeo holds a distaste and wariness towards miqo'tes he meets, even more so if they are tribal. The man also holds a great distaste towards Eorzean and Garlean customs, although he remains subtle about his views unless speaking in more subtle environments.<br />

<br />
<span class="mw-headline">''Most of Bartolomeo's family members were killed by the civil war that occurred in Jeridia, some might have survived the onslaught, but at the present Bartolomeo is the only known surviving member of House Filangieri.''</span><br />
<br />
:<span class="mw-headline">'''[[Francesco Filangieri]] (Father, deceased)&nbsp;''': Francesco hosted the most financially providing slave trade in the market of Jeridia. What was done to the slaves are often mystery, but when people used to question the man on the matter, he'd inform them to refer to them as servants rather than slaves. He allowed the masters of these miqo'te slaves to treat them under their jurisdictions, aslong as it did not "violate" Jeridian laws. The man was known in the Kingdom as an influential merchant, and at times aristocrat. Bartolomeo and his father however never managed to meet eye-to-eye, mainly because Francesco disregarded Bartolomeo as the chosen heir to House Filangieri was his older brother, Lorenzo. Once Bartolomeo served Manfredi's knightly order, Francesco stripped all titles from Bartolomeo but kept him in his court. Francesco perished during House Tavelli's civil war, when an angry mob of nobles stabbed him and his oldest son Lorenzo in the middle of the streets.</span><br/><br />
<br />
:<span class="mw-headline">'''[[Iolanda Acquarone]] (Mother, deceased)&nbsp;:''' Despite his father's negligence, Iolanda did not mind Bartolomeo's presence, and often gave him counsel for anything he needed. His mannerisms and acts of behaving like a "gentleman" or dressing formally were received by Iolanda. Although Bartolomeo never witnessed his mother's death, the family manor was barricaded and burnt to the ground while she still remained within it.</span><br/><br />
<br />
:<span class="mw-headline">'''[[Lorenzo Filangieri]] (Brother, deceased)&nbsp;:''' House Filangieri's future head was to be Lorenzo. Despite being arrogant, Lorenzo held great respect for his younger brother and did not hesitate to stand up for him if the event needed it so. Lorenzo was slain alongside his father during Giovanni's civil war.</span><br/><br />
<br />
:<span class="mw-headline">'''[[Giulio Filangieri]] (Uncle, deceased)&nbsp;: '''After the civil war ended, Giulio was the only survivor of House Filangieri that remained in Jeridia with few discrimination. When Bartolomeo was banished and began to reside in Ul'dah, Giulio communicated with him through letters to understand where his life had been taking him. With time Giulio told Bartolomeo that the Doge of Jeridia wished to seek audience and reinstate Bartolomeo's status as a noble. Although Bartolomeo ventured into Jeridia and refused to take part in nobility, Giulio had to plot his way to reclaiming his family's previous status. After Bartolomeo returned to Eorzea, Giulio started to fabricate claims which was shortly noticed by the Doge. The old man, had to escape the island and eventually get in touch with Bartolomeo in the middle of Thanalan. The meeting resulted in a bloodbath after the Doge's cousin, Ludovico Tavelli, emerged with armed forces. Siha Xinkei, who was Bartolomeo's friend at the time, was present in the meeting and eventual combat and while she was nearly overwhelmed. Giulio managed to spare Siha a gruesome fate as he charged in and, unfortunately got killed in her place.</span><br/><br />

<br />
: <font style="color:#F02311;" size="3">♥</font> [[Tietra Mynhier]] : Erik Mynhier's lost sister met Bartolomeo within a ceremony that occured within the Red Wings' headquarters, barely before meeting one another, the woman rewarded Bartolomeo with various lewd remarks about his posterior. Shortly after, the pair met again and ventured out together to talk outside Ul'dah's walls. Still did the woman resume her lewdness, the man grew to take a liking in her, falling under her wave of charm and alluring nature. He accompanied her while he went off towards his campaign for House Rontremont in the Black Shroud. Through petty arguments and personal conversations, the man grew to fancy the woman even further, eventually the two began to hold a highly intimate relationship. After his reward in winning against the Dravanian infiltrator in the Antelope Tribe, Bartolomeo ventured back to Ul'dah in the most subtle of manners to smuggle the young woman to Castle Greywall with him, declaring his love for her officially.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Askier Mergrey]] : Once known as a terrorist in Ul'dah, while his beloved was held as a hostage by Garleans, the miqo'te managed to gain Bartolomeo's approval as he rescued the man while a band of assassins nearly ended his life. Furthermore, he did so out of kindness, thus proving that tales of his callousness are somewhat exaggerated.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Kale Aideron]] : A soldier of Ul'dah who works with the Brass Blades and the Syndicate. The man first met Bartolomeo in the Grindstone tournament during his time as a free paladin. The two befriended one another as they did not hesitate to watch each other's backs during a conflict in the Quicksand. The man has not met Kale in awhile, but prays to do so in the near future.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Seiletta Rougefeather]] : The elezen Seiletta is one that had encountered Bartolomeo throughout several situations, since his time in Ul'dah and his various trips towards Gridannia. The elezen once aided Bartolomeo in dealing against a group of Ishgardian knights who found the former paladin's presence to be entirely suspicious. With time, the two met again once Bartolomeo became an Ishgardian nobleman.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Xydane Vale]] : Xydane met Bartolomeo during his battle against a dragon in the Black Shroud. His timely appearance certified the favor of the battle to go towards Bartolomeo's end. Bartolomeo and Xydane both were heading towards the direction of Coerthas and during their voyage both shared stories of their past. Intrigued and impressed, Xydane is one of the few that Bartolomeo knows that can be relied upon.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> [[Anelia Sadowyn]] : Anelia was one of the first paladins Bartolomeo had ever set eyes upon in Ul'dah, in reality he was the first ally he held dearly until he departed from Arcadeus. Upon reuniting Anelia offered to refer Bartolomeo into the Sultansworn to undertake its trials. Bartolomeo throughout his later encounters of her ended up assisting her against a monetarist plot in Western Thanalan. Once Bartolomeo left the Sultansworn however, Anelia and Bartolomeo's idealisms clashed, causing a sour taste to emerge Bartolomeo's mouth. Ever since, the two have not spoken.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> [[Siha Xinkei]] : Siha and Bartolomeo met first in Arcadeus, and ever since became close friends throughout his earlier days in Eorzea. The pair were growing close, but eventually their friendship was tarnished while Bartolomeo undertook a mission for the Sultansworn to retrieve a stolen tome. A strong disagreement between Bartolomeo and a crimelord, who was also Siha's friend at the time ensued. The two met each other again a few moons later, this time on better terms, but Bartolomeo still believes that they will forever hold conflicting sets of beliefs.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> [[Bell Ebonwing]] : Bartolomeo's first lover, a miqo'te keeper, raised in the streets of Ul'dah. Bartolomeo's first "mating" was with Bell, a revolutionary act in the former virgin's history. Due to dire circumstances in Ul'dah, the two did not stay with one another. Since their seperation, Bartolomeo shows inability in speaking to her without demonstrating disregard.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> [[Coatleque Crofte]] : The most loyal knight he has met in Eorzea thus far. The two hold differing beliefs and since his departure from the Sultansworn the two have been forever distant from one another. Due to her young age, Bartolomeo doesn't believe that Coatleque carries enough wisdom or if any on that regards.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> [[Jancis Milburga]] : The most gentle of ladies that Bartolomeo has ever settled eyes on, her desire to aid when the two used to encounter one another brought a sense of warmth to Bartolomeo's heart. Alas, her desire to help others, even those who are unjust, had once made Bartolomeo concerned of her good health.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> [[Rivienne Delacroux]] : Bartolomeo encountered Rivienne during a voyage around the Black Shroud. Bartolomeo remains wary of the woodlander's motives and feels uncomfortable when she is present. Rivienne's preference of the wilds over the city brought forth a great deal of inquiries from Bartolomeo. The man would not neglect the fact that the woman carries an exotic charm and beauty that can smite a person deeply.<br />

Bartolomeo's life began in his family's villa deep within the capital of the Kingdom of Jeridia, an island based in the Rhotano sea. He was the youngest child of Lord Francesco Filangieri and Iolanda Acquarone. His family was highly regarded and generated a high level of influence within the nobility and the crown of Jeridia. House Filangieri's wealth came from the constant exportation of fish and resources, but most of its profit came from the ever dominant slave market that was permitted in the entire island. All of the slaves caught or sold consisted of miqo'tes tribesmen or woman that were found outside of the city's walls. This fortune made Francesco Filangieri highly renowned and decorated throughout Jeridia.<br />
<br />
Francesco determined that the heir to House Filangieri was to be Bartolomeo's older brother, Lorenzo. Thus, Lorenzo was tutored by his father to follow his path. Francesco neglected Bartolomeo, making him carve another path that was different from the rest of his family.<br />
<br />
Noticing Bartolomeo's passion in old tales of knights and chivalry, Francesco had the Grandmaster of the Knights of Jeridia take forth Bartolomeo and mentor him. The old Grandmaster accepted and taught the boy the chivalric code, the Twelve and from there made the young Bartolomeo develop a strong zeal for his culture and beliefs. <br />
<br />
Once reaching the age of 12, Manfredi brought Bartolomeo as his squire. With aiding the Grandmaster with various meager tasks, he was rewarded with sword fighting technique and useful advices in the arts of warfare.<br />
<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">1567 - 1574===<br />
<br />
Once Bartolomeo reached the age of 16, Manfredi finally declared that the young squire was old enough to officially become a knight and member of the order. It was then where his training came to good use but also new techniques and tricks were to be learned, as the knights specialized against repelling pirates but mostly dealt against miqo'te tribesmen that were present beyond the city walls. <br />
<br />
The knights in the order were trained to overcome the odds against a fearsome and outnumbering fighting force of tribals that could always besiege the city. Due to their specialty in fighting against miqo'tes, the people in Jeridia informally refered these knights as "Coeurlslayers", due to the similar ears and tails that both the miqo'te and coeurl have.<br />
<br />
Tensions finally began to grow thicker between the tribals and the kingdom of Jeridia. King Pandolfo the 'Careless' held interest to finally expand his realm by eliminating the nearby tribes. The King officially declared war after a group of Jeridian merchants were seen gruesomely murdered outside the city by a mob of tribals.<br />
<br />
Manfredi and his knightly order were dispatched outside the city. For the entirety of his young adulthood, Bartolomeo had to soak his blade with the blood of miqo'te in order to place his efforts for the order and the war. The order had to sack camps, various tribal settlements that were present throughout the island and win overwhelming battles in the middle of a tropical forest. By the end of the whole war, the population of miqo'te had dropped almost by fifty percent.<br />
<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">1574 - 1577===<br />
<br />
A year after the war had concluded, new issues began to grow within Jeridia's court. A claim for the throne was brought forth by House Tavelli, and therefore blackmailed to place their leader, Giovanni Tavelli, into power. King Pandolfo, as rentless and careless as he was renowned for, denied the accussations. This started a war in the streets of Jeridia's capital, yet the odds seemed hopeless for Tavelli's end in the beginning.<br />
<br />
Through schemes and conspiracies that had been planned throughout the war, House Tavelli managed to create a chain of uprisings by giving the defeated miqo'te words of hope and freedom. Other noble houses also remained in the midst of the plot for diverse reasons and formerly patriotic houses ended up joining the revolutionaries.<br />
<br />
After a few months the tides had turned, the King's loyalists were outmatched, including the order Bartolomeo was with. Francesco and Lorenzo, Bartolomeo's father and brother, were killed by a mob of nobleman in the streets. His mother Iolanda was barricaded in her own villa and burnt alive. <br />
<br />
Eventually the bloodshed would end with the beheadment of both Manfredi and Pandolfo. Those loyal who survived the carnage were either imprisoned, executed or spared if the price was proper. Bartolomeo was casted into an oubliette and remained trapped in there for a whole cycle.<br />
<br />
By year 1577, Bartolomeo was brought forth to the newly reformed court of the Republic of Jeridia. The monarchy was no longer present as it was now a council that governed Jeridia. The laws had been reformed, slavery was abolished, and the head of the council was known as a Doge. <br />
<br />
Giulio Filangieri, Bartolomeo's uncle, had managed to pay the Doge a ransom to have Bartolomeo liberated from his cell. The only drawback over than payment was to banish Bartolomeo from the realm of Jeridia and to never return...<br />
<br />

[[File:Bartolomeotier.jpeg|200px|thumb|<span style="color:#000000">Bartolomeo by Tiergan.</span>]]<br />
Ever since his exile, Bartolomeo arrived in Ul'dah, with but a bronze plate that covered his torso and lacked refine. He was brought upon an order known as Arcadeus and encountered Anelia Sadowyn, a paladin of the Sultanate of Ul'dah. Intrigued by Anelia's ideals, the worn and former prisoner recollected plenty of what he previously did under the knighthood of Manfredi's order. Eventually, after a dispute, Bartolomeo left Arcadeus and remained independant. <br />
<br />
His uncle Giulio Filangieri provided Bartolomeo with gil and riches from Jeridia, with little hesitation did he invested on the still devastated knight. Bartolomeo's funding continued until Giulio was branded a traitor of the Jeridian republic and fled to Thanalan to meet with his nephew. When offering Bartolomeo a crate of riches, Ludovico Tavelli and a small group of mercenaries arrived. A battle ensued, Giulio perished in the battle, but as did Ludovico and his men thanks to Bartolomeo's blade. <br />
<br />
Bartolomeo became affiliated to a few free companies and eventually, thanks to the influence of Anelia Sadowyn, managed to become a paladin in the Sultansworn. Eventually such was not his fate, as later events made him distrust Ul'dahn politics entirely. He kept ties with Ul'dah and performed investigations for a shadow organisation that functioned with the Immortal Flames. <br />
<br />
He spoked with an Ishgardian noblewoman throughout his time, and her words brought forth a seed of ambition deep inside Bartolomeo's mind. For months Bartolomeo had been planning in ways to restore House Filangieri, where all of its members were either killed or exiled. Eventually, thanks to the influence of an inquisitor that he had acquainted with, House Rontremont offered to restore his legacy by having him undertake a desperate mission to slay a dragon which was under the form of a miqo'te slave. <br />
<br />
Through days of swift planning Bartolomeo managed to eliminate the dragon, with the help of others. Lord Rontremont was pleased at the result and relieved that Bartolomeo had shown capability in fighting against the Dravinian Horde. As promised, the Lord turned Bartolomeo into his vassal but as well rendered him as Lord and noble. Bartolomeo renounced all allegiance to any other city-state. He swore fealty to House Rontremont and the Holy See, and swore to shift his faith towards that of the Ishgardian Orthodox Church.<br />

<big>''"With Sanctimony and Fidelity" <br><small>~Family motto since the foundation of the Ishgardian chapter</small>''</big><br />
</center><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
House Filangieri, its foundations date back throughout lost history where midlander clans conquered the eastern coast of the Jeridian island and then to when the Kingdom was born. No one knows of the predecessors of House Filangieri, other than the two final leaders of the Jeridian nobility, Francesco and Giulio Filangieri, whom both were killed by the rival House Tavelli, back on Jeridia. The Jeridian chapter of House Filangieri was rendered infamous for its power in the slave industry, miqo'te slaves taken from sacked tribal encampments were their main source of income and as well what gave them a dominating presence in the former Kingdom of Jeridia. Eventually, the King's rule was usurped and slavery was rendered a crime, House Filangieri was highly crippled by the end of the war, with Francesco murdered and Giulio left to rule the house alone. Giulio's death only rendered the Jeridian chapter of House Filangieri to extinction.<br />
<br />
Bartolomeo was offered a chance to restore his family name underneath Ishgard's banners, his title would be renewed but he would also fall as becoming a vassal of Lord Rontremont. Bartolomeo was told by House Rontremont in order to restore his family name, he had to slay a dragon shapeshifted as a false miqo'te concubine amongst the seeker "Antelope Tribe". Through a bloody moon Bartolomeo managed to have the dragon slain, eventually resulting in the restoration of House Filangieri, now as an Ishgardian chapter. Alas, due to foreign roots, any in House Filangieri are still not permitted to go beyond Ishgard's gates.<br />
<br />
[[File:CleanCoatFilangieri.png|thumb|right|120px| <span style="color:#000000">Jeridian House Filangieri's sigil.</span>]]<br />
<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">Sigil===<br />
<br />
The sigil of the Jeridian chapter of House Filangieri was that of a black and gold wolf, representing the hard industry that the family once delegated. Bartolomeo however when he had his name restored, changed the sigil to that of a human hand in a pose of benediction. The meaning of such signifies pledge of faith, sincerity, and justice. <br />
<br />
The colors of House Filangieri's coat of arms follows a similar scheme as it has for generations. The black representing constancy, while the gold represents generosity and elevation of mind.<br />
<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">Philosophy===<br />
<br />
House Filangieri's religious beliefs are of course influenced from the Ishgardian Orthodox Church. Those who are infidelious to their oaths, faith, loved ones or lieges - are declared as rivals to House Filangieri. Righteousness and justice are what they seek. If an action makes a mockery of law without a sanctimonious motive, then such culprit can be recognized by the House as an infidel.<br />
<br />
If a member of House Filangieri is declared an infidel, depending on the severity of the crime it can lead to banishment or in extreme cases, death or torture. Fidelity and righteousness is a must beneath the shroud of House Filangieri.<br />
<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">Fiefs===<br />
<br />
House Filangieri presently controls and occupies the fief of Castle Greywall, located within a secluded center of the Coerthas Highlands. It is the current place of residence of Lord Bartolomeo Filangieri.<br />

==<div style="font-size: 20px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">Basic Info ==<br />
<br />
Bartolomeo Filangieri (pronounced /Bar-toll-o-mayo/ /Fee-lan-gie-érie/) is a midlander hyur born from a noble family in the Kingdom of Jeridia, an island in the middle of the Rhotano Sea. His nameday is on the 16th Sun of 6th Astral Moon.<br />
<br />
At a young age Bartolomeo was inducted in a knightly order dedicated in eradicating miqo'te tribes that harrassed the Jeridian locals. Informally, those in the order were known as "Coeurlslayers" due to their specialty in dealing with the local tribes.<br />
<br />
After a civil war in his nation, the order Bartolomeo served in collapsed after the result of its Grandmaster being executed. The knights and Bartolomeo were imprisoned and considered as war criminals of the entire realm. <br />
<br />
After heavy convincing from his surviving uncle, the new Doge of Jeridia decided to spare Bartolomeo a lifetime in an oubliette and therefore exiled him from the realm, sending him forth to Eorzea to start his life anew. <br />
<br />
With time Bartolomeo settled in the metropolis of Ul'dah and through new contacts managed to get referred into the Sultansworn. Due to his sanctimonious nature, Bartolomeo eventually broke off with the Sultansworn and became an independant knight.<br />
<br />
As time passed, Bartolomeo eventually proved himself to an Ishgardian noble family and had his family House restored but under the Holy See's delegation.<br />
<br />
==<div style="font-size: 20px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">Appearance and Character==<br />
<br />
For a midlander, Bartolomeo can be described as strapping, tall, and broad shouldered. He is described as being particularly attractive, a trait that was found common in his family. Bartolomeo has gold, penetrating eyes that at times can make one wary during moments of silence. His head holds a properly groomed brown hair which often smells of fresh ointments. His face is always cleanly shaved on a daily basis, making the touch to his skin to be relatively smooth. He has hollow cheeks, dark circles beneath his eyes and thin lips.<br />
<br />
Bartolomeo is a serious, calm, stubborn and bold man. He believes in honoring the legacy of his family rather than discriminate against it as the new nobles of the Jeridian republic do. He believes in justice and being fidelious with his oaths when he can, he will not punish a man if he believes him to be innocent. <br />
<br />
Having spent most of his live in Jeridia fighting against miqo'te clans, Bartolomeo holds a distaste and wariness towards miqo'tes he meets, even more so if they are tribal. The man also holds a great distaste towards Eorzean and Garlean customs, although he remains subtle about his views unless speaking in more subtle environments.<br />

<br />
<span class="mw-headline">''Most of Bartolomeo's family members were killed by the civil war that occurred in Jeridia, some might have survived the onslaught, but at the present Bartolomeo is the only known surviving member of House Filangieri.''</span><br />
<br />
:<span class="mw-headline">'''[[Francesco Filangieri]] (Father, deceased)&nbsp;''': Francesco hosted the most financially providing slave trade in the market of Jeridia. What was done to the slaves are often mystery, but when people used to question the man on the matter, he'd inform them to refer to them as servants rather than slaves. He allowed the masters of these miqo'te slaves to treat them under their jurisdictions, aslong as it did not "violate" Jeridian laws. The man was known in the Kingdom as an influential merchant, and at times aristocrat. Bartolomeo and his father however never managed to meet eye-to-eye, mainly because Francesco disregarded Bartolomeo as the chosen heir to House Filangieri was his older brother, Lorenzo. Once Bartolomeo served Manfredi's knightly order, Francesco stripped all titles from Bartolomeo but kept him in his court. Francesco perished during House Tavelli's civil war, when an angry mob of nobles stabbed him and his oldest son Lorenzo in the middle of the streets.</span><br/><br />
<br />
:<span class="mw-headline">'''[[Iolanda Acquarone]] (Mother, deceased)&nbsp;:''' Despite his father's negligence, Iolanda did not mind Bartolomeo's presence, and often gave him counsel for anything he needed. His mannerisms and acts of behaving like a "gentleman" or dressing formally were received by Iolanda. Although Bartolomeo never witnessed his mother's death, the family manor was barricaded and burnt to the ground while she still remained within it.</span><br/><br />
<br />
:<span class="mw-headline">'''[[Lorenzo Filangieri]] (Brother, deceased)&nbsp;:''' House Filangieri's future head was to be Lorenzo. Despite being arrogant, Lorenzo held great respect for his younger brother and did not hesitate to stand up for him if the event needed it so. Lorenzo was slain alongside his father during Giovanni's civil war.</span><br/><br />
<br />
:<span class="mw-headline">'''[[Giulio Filangieri]] (Uncle, deceased)&nbsp;: '''After the civil war ended, Giulio was the only survivor of House Filangieri that remained in Jeridia with few discrimination. When Bartolomeo was banished and began to reside in Ul'dah, Giulio communicated with him through letters to understand where his life had been taking him. With time Giulio told Bartolomeo that the Doge of Jeridia wished to seek audience and reinstate Bartolomeo's status as a noble. Although Bartolomeo ventured into Jeridia and refused to take part in nobility, Giulio had to plot his way to reclaiming his family's previous status. After Bartolomeo returned to Eorzea, Giulio started to fabricate claims which was shortly noticed by the Doge. The old man, had to escape the island and eventually get in touch with Bartolomeo in the middle of Thanalan. The meeting resulted in a bloodbath after the Doge's cousin, Ludovico Tavelli, emerged with armed forces. Siha Xinkei, who was Bartolomeo's friend at the time, was present in the meeting and eventual combat and while she was nearly overwhelmed. Giulio managed to spare Siha a gruesome fate as he charged in and, unfortunately got killed in her place.</span><br/><br />

<br />
: <font style="color:#F02311;" size="3">♥</font> [[Tietra Mynhier]] : Erik Mynhier's lost sister met Bartolomeo within a ceremony that occured within the Red Wings' headquarters, barely before meeting one another, the woman rewarded Bartolomeo with various lewd remarks about his posterior. Shortly after, the pair met again and ventured out together to talk outside Ul'dah's walls. Still did the woman resume her lewdness, the man grew to take a liking in her, falling under her wave of charm and alluring nature. He accompanied her while he went off towards his campaign for House Rontremont in the Black Shroud. Through petty arguments and personal conversations, the man grew to fancy the woman even further, eventually the two began to hold a highly intimate relationship. After his reward in winning against the Dravanian infiltrator in the Antelope Tribe, Bartolomeo ventured back to Ul'dah in the most subtle of manners to smuggle the young woman to Castle Greywall with him, declaring his love for her officially.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Askier Mergrey]] : Once known as a terrorist in Ul'dah, while his beloved was held as a hostage by Garleans, the miqo'te managed to gain Bartolomeo's approval as he rescued the man while a band of assassins nearly ended his life. Furthermore, he did so out of kindness, thus proving that tales of his callousness are somewhat exaggerated.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Kale Aideron]] : A soldier of Ul'dah who works with the Brass Blades and the Syndicate. The man first met Bartolomeo in the Grindstone tournament during his time as a free paladin. The two befriended one another as they did not hesitate to watch each other's backs during a conflict in the Quicksand. The man has not met Kale in awhile, but prays to do so in the near future.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Seiletta Rougefeather]] : The elezen Seiletta is one that had encountered Bartolomeo throughout several situations, since his time in Ul'dah and his various trips towards Gridannia. The elezen once aided Bartolomeo in dealing against a group of Ishgardian knights who found the former paladin's presence to be entirely suspicious. With time, the two met again once Bartolomeo became an Ishgardian nobleman.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Xydane Vale]] : Xydane met Bartolomeo during his battle against a dragon in the Black Shroud. His timely appearance certified the favor of the battle to go towards Bartolomeo's end. Bartolomeo and Xydane both were heading towards the direction of Coerthas and during their voyage both shared stories of their past. Intrigued and impressed, Xydane is one of the few that Bartolomeo knows that can be relied upon.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> [[Anelia Sadowyn]] : Anelia was one of the first paladins Bartolomeo had ever set eyes upon in Ul'dah, in reality he was the first ally he held dearly until he departed from Arcadeus. Upon reuniting Anelia offered to refer Bartolomeo into the Sultansworn to undertake its trials. Bartolomeo throughout his later encounters of her ended up assisting her against a monetarist plot in Western Thanalan. Once Bartolomeo left the Sultansworn however, Anelia and Bartolomeo's idealisms clashed, causing a sour taste to emerge Bartolomeo's mouth. Ever since, the two have not spoken.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> [[Siha Xinkei]] : Siha and Bartolomeo met first in Arcadeus, and ever since became close friends throughout his earlier days in Eorzea. The pair were growing close, but eventually their friendship was tarnished while Bartolomeo undertook a mission for the Sultansworn to retrieve a stolen tome. A strong disagreement between Bartolomeo and a crimelord, who was also Siha's friend at the time ensued. The two met each other again a few moons later, this time on better terms, but Bartolomeo still believes that they will forever hold conflicting sets of beliefs.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> [[Bell Ebonwing]] : Bartolomeo's first lover, a miqo'te keeper, raised in the streets of Ul'dah. Bartolomeo's first "mating" was with Bell, a revolutionary act in the former virgin's history. Due to dire circumstances in Ul'dah, the two did not stay with one another. Since their seperation, Bartolomeo shows inability in speaking to her without demonstrating disregard.<br />
<br />

The two hold differing beliefs and since his departure from the Sultansworn the two have been forever distant from one another.

<br />
: <font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> [[Jancis Milburga]] : The most gentle of ladies that Bartolomeo has ever settled eyes on, her desire to aid when the two used to encounter one another brought a sense of warmth to Bartolomeo's heart.

<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">1549 - 1567===<br />
<br />
Bartolomeo's life began in his family's villa deep within the capital of the Kingdom of Jeridia, an island based in the Rhotano sea. He was the youngest child of Lord Francesco Filangieri and Iolanda Acquarone. His family was highly regarded and generated a high level of influence within the nobility and the crown of Jeridia. House Filangieri's wealth came from the constant exportation of fish and resources, but most of its profit came from the ever dominant slave market that was permitted in the entire island. All of the slaves caught or sold consisted of miqo'tes tribesmen or woman that were found outside of the city's walls. This fortune made Francesco Filangieri highly renowned and decorated throughout Jeridia.<br />
<br />
Francesco determined that the heir to House Filangieri was to be Bartolomeo's older brother, Lorenzo. Thus, Lorenzo was tutored by his father to follow his path. Francesco neglected Bartolomeo, making him carve another path that was different from the rest of his family.<br />
<br />
Noticing Bartolomeo's passion in old tales of knights and chivalry, Francesco had the Grandmaster of the Knights of Jeridia take forth Bartolomeo and mentor him. The old Grandmaster accepted and taught the boy the chivalric code, the Twelve and from there made the young Bartolomeo develop a strong zeal for his culture and beliefs. <br />
<br />
Once reaching the age of 12, Manfredi brought Bartolomeo as his squire. With aiding the Grandmaster with various meager tasks, he was rewarded with sword fighting technique and useful advices in the arts of warfare.<br />
<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">1567 - 1574===<br />
<br />
Once Bartolomeo reached the age of 16, Manfredi finally declared that the young squire was old enough to officially become a knight and member of the order. It was then where his training came to good use but also new techniques and tricks were to be learned, as the knights specialized against repelling pirates but mostly dealt against miqo'te tribesmen that were present beyond the city walls. <br />
<br />
The knights in the order were trained to overcome the odds against a fearsome and outnumbering fighting force of tribals that could always besiege the city. Due to their specialty in fighting against miqo'tes, the people in Jeridia informally refered these knights as "Coeurlslayers", due to the similar ears and tails that both the miqo'te and coeurl have.<br />
<br />
Tensions finally began to grow thicker between the tribals and the kingdom of Jeridia. King Pandolfo the 'Careless' held interest to finally expand his realm by eliminating the nearby tribes. The King officially declared war after a group of Jeridian merchants were seen gruesomely murdered outside the city by a mob of tribals.<br />
<br />
Manfredi and his knightly order were dispatched outside the city. For the entirety of his young adulthood, Bartolomeo had to soak his blade with the blood of miqo'te in order to place his efforts for the order and the war. The order had to sack camps, various tribal settlements that were present throughout the island and win overwhelming battles in the middle of a tropical forest. By the end of the whole war, the population of miqo'te had dropped almost by fifty percent.<br />
<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">1574 - 1577===<br />
<br />
A year after the war had concluded, new issues began to grow within Jeridia's court. A claim for the throne was brought forth by House Tavelli, and therefore blackmailed to place their leader, Giovanni Tavelli, into power. King Pandolfo, as rentless and careless as he was renowned for, denied the accussations. This started a war in the streets of Jeridia's capital, yet the odds seemed hopeless for Tavelli's end in the beginning.<br />
<br />
Through schemes and conspiracies that had been planned throughout the war, House Tavelli managed to create a chain of uprisings by giving the defeated miqo'te words of hope and freedom. Other noble houses also remained in the midst of the plot for diverse reasons and formerly patriotic houses ended up joining the revolutionaries.<br />
<br />
After a few months the tides had turned, the King's loyalists were outmatched, including the order Bartolomeo was with. Francesco and Lorenzo, Bartolomeo's father and brother, were killed by a mob of nobleman in the streets. His mother Iolanda was barricaded in her own villa and burnt alive. <br />
<br />
Eventually the bloodshed would end with the beheadment of both Manfredi and Pandolfo. Those loyal who survived the carnage were either imprisoned, executed or spared if the price was proper. Bartolomeo was casted into an oubliette and remained trapped in there for a whole cycle.<br />
<br />
By year 1577, Bartolomeo was brought forth to the newly reformed court of the Republic of Jeridia. The monarchy was no longer present as it was now a council that governed Jeridia. The laws had been reformed, slavery was abolished, and the head of the council was known as a Doge. <br />
<br />
Giulio Filangieri, Bartolomeo's uncle, had managed to pay the Doge a ransom to have Bartolomeo liberated from his cell. The only drawback over than payment was to banish Bartolomeo from the realm of Jeridia and to never return...<br />
<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">1577 - Present===<br />
[[File:Bartolomeotier.jpeg|200px|thumb|<span style="color:#000000">Bartolomeo by Tiergan.</span>]]<br />
Ever since his exile, Bartolomeo arrived in Ul'dah, with but a bronze plate that covered his torso and lacked refine. He was brought upon an order known as Arcadeus and encountered Anelia Sadowyn, a paladin of the Sultanate of Ul'dah. Intrigued by Anelia's ideals, the worn and former prisoner recollected plenty of what he previously did under the knighthood of Manfredi's order. Eventually, after a dispute, Bartolomeo left Arcadeus and remained independant. <br />
<br />
His uncle Giulio Filangieri provided Bartolomeo with gil and riches from Jeridia, with little hesitation did he invested on the still devastated knight. Bartolomeo's funding continued until Giulio was branded a traitor of the Jeridian republic and fled to Thanalan to meet with his nephew. When offering Bartolomeo a crate of riches, Ludovico Tavelli and a small group of mercenaries arrived. A battle ensued, Giulio perished in the battle, but as did Ludovico and his men thanks to Bartolomeo's blade. <br />
<br />
Bartolomeo became affiliated to a few free companies and eventually, thanks to the influence of Anelia Sadowyn, managed to become a paladin in the Sultansworn. Eventually such was not his fate, as later events made him distrust Ul'dahn politics entirely. He kept ties with Ul'dah and performed investigations for a shadow organisation that functioned with the Immortal Flames. <br />
<br />
He spoked with an Ishgardian noblewoman throughout his time, and her words brought forth a seed of ambition deep inside Bartolomeo's mind. For months Bartolomeo had been planning in ways to restore House Filangieri, where all of its members were either killed or exiled. Eventually, thanks to the influence of an inquisitor that he had acquainted with, House Rontremont offered to restore his legacy by having him undertake a desperate mission to slay a dragon which was under the form of a miqo'te slave. <br />
<br />
Through days of swift planning Bartolomeo managed to eliminate the dragon, with the help of others. Lord Rontremont was pleased at the result and relieved that Bartolomeo had shown capability in fighting against the Dravinian Horde. As promised, the Lord turned Bartolomeo into his vassal but as well rendered him as Lord and noble. Bartolomeo renounced all allegiance to any other city-state. He swore fealty to House Rontremont and the Holy See, and swore to shift his faith towards that of the Ishgardian Orthodox Church.<br />
<br />

<big>''"With Sanctimony and Fidelity" <br><small>~Family motto since the foundation of the Ishgardian chapter</small>''</big><br />
</center><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
House Filangieri, its foundations date back throughout lost history where midlander clans conquered the eastern coast of the Jeridian island and then to when the Kingdom was born. No one knows of the predecessors of House Filangieri, other than the two final leaders of the Jeridian nobility, Francesco and Giulio Filangieri, whom both were killed by the rival House Tavelli, back on Jeridia. The Jeridian chapter of House Filangieri was rendered infamous for its power in the slave industry, miqo'te slaves taken from sacked tribal encampments were their main source of income and as well what gave them a dominating presence in the former Kingdom of Jeridia. Eventually, the King's rule was usurped and slavery was rendered a crime, House Filangieri was highly crippled by the end of the war, with Francesco murdered and Giulio left to rule the house alone. Giulio's death only rendered the Jeridian chapter of House Filangieri to extinction.<br />
<br />
Bartolomeo was offered a chance to restore his family name underneath Ishgard's banners, his title would be renewed but he would also fall as becoming a vassal of Lord Rontremont. Bartolomeo was told by House Rontremont in order to restore his family name, he had to slay a dragon shapeshifted as a false miqo'te concubine amongst the seeker "Antelope Tribe". Through a bloody moon Bartolomeo managed to have the dragon slain, eventually resulting in the restoration of House Filangieri, now as an Ishgardian chapter. Alas, due to foreign roots, any in House Filangieri are still not permitted to go beyond Ishgard's gates.<br />
<br />
[[File:CleanCoatFilangieri.png|thumb|right|120px| <span style="color:#000000">Jeridian House Filangieri's sigil.</span>]]<br />
<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">Sigil===<br />
<br />
The sigil of the Jeridian chapter of House Filangieri was that of a black and gold wolf, representing the hard industry that the family once delegated. Bartolomeo however when he had his name restored, changed the sigil to that of a human hand in a pose of benediction. The meaning of such signifies pledge of faith, sincerity, and justice. <br />
<br />
The colors of House Filangieri's coat of arms follows a similar scheme as it has for generations. The black representing constancy, while the gold represents generosity and elevation of mind.<br />
<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">Philosophy===<br />
<br />
House Filangieri's religious beliefs are of course influenced from the Ishgardian Orthodox Church. Those who are infidelious to their oaths, faith, loved ones or lieges - are declared as rivals to House Filangieri. Righteousness and justice are what they seek. If an action makes a mockery of law without a sanctimonious motive, then such culprit can be recognized by the House as an infidel.<br />
<br />
If a member of House Filangieri is declared an infidel, depending on the severity of the crime it can lead to banishment or in extreme cases, death or torture. Fidelity and righteousness is a must beneath the shroud of House Filangieri.<br />
<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">Fiefs===<br />
<br />
House Filangieri presently controls and occupies the fief of Castle Greywall, located within a secluded center of the Coerthas Highlands. It is the current place of residence of Lord Bartolomeo Filangieri.<br />

<br />
Bartolomeo Filangieri (pronounced /Bar-toll-o-mayo/ /Fee-lan-gie-érie/) is a midlander hyur born from a noble family in the Kingdom of Jeridia, an island in the middle of the Rhotano Sea. His nameday is on the 16th Sun of 6th Astral Moon.<br />
<br />
At a young age Bartolomeo was inducted in a knightly order dedicated in eradicating miqo'te tribes that harrassed the Jeridian locals. Informally, those in the order were known as "Coeurlslayers" due to their specialty in dealing with the local tribes.<br />
<br />
After a civil war in his nation, the order Bartolomeo served in collapsed after the result of its Grandmaster being executed. The knights and Bartolomeo were imprisoned and considered as war criminals of the entire realm. <br />
<br />
After heavy convincing from his surviving uncle, the new Doge of Jeridia decided to spare Bartolomeo a lifetime in an oubliette and therefore exiled him from the realm, sending him forth to Eorzea to start his life anew. <br />
<br />
With time Bartolomeo settled in the metropolis of Ul'dah and through new contacts managed to get referred into the Sultansworn. Due to his sanctimonious nature, Bartolomeo eventually broke off with the Sultansworn and became an independant knight.<br />
<br />
As time passed, Bartolomeo eventually proved himself to an Ishgardian noble family and had his family House restored but under the Holy See's delegation.<br />
<br />
==<div style="font-size: 20px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">Appearance and Character==<br />
<br />
For a midlander, Bartolomeo can be described as strapping, tall, and broad shouldered. He is described as being particularly attractive, a trait that was found common in his family. Bartolomeo has gold, penetrating eyes that at times can make one wary during moments of silence. His head holds a properly groomed brown hair which often smells of fresh ointments. His face is always cleanly shaved on a daily basis, making the touch to his skin to be relatively smooth. He has hollow cheeks, dark circles beneath his eyes and thin lips.<br />
<br />
Bartolomeo is a serious, calm, stubborn and bold man. He believes in honoring the legacy of his family rather than discriminate against it as the new nobles of the Jeridian republic do. He believes in justice and being fidelious with his oaths when he can, he will not punish a man if he believes him to be innocent. <br />
<br />
Having spent most of his live in Jeridia fighting against miqo'te clans, Bartolomeo holds a distaste and wariness towards miqo'tes he meets, even more so if they are tribal. The man also holds a great distaste towards Eorzean and Garlean customs, although he remains subtle about his views unless speaking in more subtle environments.<br />

<br />
<span class="mw-headline">''Most of Bartolomeo's family members were killed by the civil war that occurred in Jeridia, some might have survived the onslaught, but at the present Bartolomeo is the only known surviving member of House Filangieri.''</span><br />
<br />
:<span class="mw-headline">'''[[Francesco Filangieri]] (Father, deceased)&nbsp;''': Francesco hosted the most financially providing slave trade in the market of Jeridia. What was done to the slaves are often mystery, but when people used to question the man on the matter, he'd inform them to refer to them as servants rather than slaves. He allowed the masters of these miqo'te slaves to treat them under their jurisdictions, aslong as it did not "violate" Jeridian laws. The man was known in the Kingdom as an influential merchant, and at times aristocrat. Bartolomeo and his father however never managed to meet eye-to-eye, mainly because Francesco disregarded Bartolomeo as the chosen heir to House Filangieri was his older brother, Lorenzo. Once Bartolomeo served Manfredi's knightly order, Francesco stripped all titles from Bartolomeo but kept him in his court. Francesco perished during House Tavelli's civil war, when an angry mob of nobles stabbed him and his oldest son Lorenzo in the middle of the streets.</span><br/><br />
<br />
:<span class="mw-headline">'''[[Iolanda Acquarone]] (Mother, deceased)&nbsp;:''' Despite his father's negligence, Iolanda did not mind Bartolomeo's presence, and often gave him counsel for anything he needed. His mannerisms and acts of behaving like a "gentleman" or dressing formally were received by Iolanda. Although Bartolomeo never witnessed his mother's death, the family manor was barricaded and burnt to the ground while she still remained within it.</span><br/><br />
<br />
:<span class="mw-headline">'''[[Lorenzo Filangieri]] (Brother, deceased)&nbsp;:''' House Filangieri's future head was to be Lorenzo. Despite being arrogant, Lorenzo held great respect for his younger brother and did not hesitate to stand up for him if the event needed it so. Lorenzo was slain alongside his father during Giovanni's civil war.</span><br/><br />
<br />
:<span class="mw-headline">'''[[Giulio Filangieri]] (Uncle, deceased)&nbsp;: '''After the civil war ended, Giulio was the only survivor of House Filangieri that remained in Jeridia with few discrimination. When Bartolomeo was banished and began to reside in Ul'dah, Giulio communicated with him through letters to understand where his life had been taking him. With time Giulio told Bartolomeo that the Doge of Jeridia wished to seek audience and reinstate Bartolomeo's status as a noble. Although Bartolomeo ventured into Jeridia and refused to take part in nobility, Giulio had to plot his way to reclaiming his family's previous status. After Bartolomeo returned to Eorzea, Giulio started to fabricate claims which was shortly noticed by the Doge. The old man, had to escape the island and eventually get in touch with Bartolomeo in the middle of Thanalan. The meeting resulted in a bloodbath after the Doge's cousin, Ludovico Tavelli, emerged with armed forces. Siha Xinkei, who was Bartolomeo's friend at the time, was present in the meeting and eventual combat and while she was nearly overwhelmed. Giulio managed to spare Siha a gruesome fate as he charged in and, unfortunately got killed in her place.</span><br/><br />

: <font style="color:#F02311;" size="3">♥</font> [[Tietra Mynhier]] : Erik Mynhier's lost sister met Bartolomeo within a ceremony that occured within the Red Wings' headquarters, barely before meeting one another, the woman rewarded Bartolomeo with various lewd remarks about his posterior. Shortly after, the pair met again and ventured out together to talk outside Ul'dah's walls. Still did the woman resume her lewdness, the man grew to take a liking in her, falling under her wave of charm and alluring nature. He accompanied her while he went off towards his campaign for House Rontremont in the Black Shroud. Through petty arguments and personal conversations, the man grew to fancy the woman even further, eventually the two began to hold a highly intimate relationship. After his reward in winning against the Dravanian infiltrator in the Antelope Tribe, Bartolomeo ventured back to Ul'dah in the most subtle of manners to smuggle the young woman to Castle Greywall with him, declaring his love for her officially.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Askier Mergrey]] : Once known as a terrorist in Ul'dah, while his beloved was held as a hostage by Garleans, the miqo'te managed to gain Bartolomeo's approval as he rescued the man while a band of assassins nearly ended his life. Furthermore, he did so out of kindness, thus proving that tales of his callousness are somewhat exaggerated.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Kale Aideron]] : A soldier of Ul'dah who works with the Brass Blades and the Syndicate. The man first met Bartolomeo in the Grindstone tournament during his time as a free paladin. The two befriended one another as they did not hesitate to watch each other's backs during a conflict in the Quicksand. The man has not met Kale in awhile, but prays to do so in the near future.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Seiletta Rougefeather]] : The elezen Seiletta is one that had encountered Bartolomeo throughout several situations, since his time in Ul'dah and his various trips towards Gridannia.

With time, the two met again once Bartolomeo became an Ishgardian nobleman.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Xydane Vale]] : Xydane met Bartolomeo during his battle against a dragon in the Black Shroud. His timely appearance certified the favor of the battle to go towards Bartolomeo's end. Bartolomeo and Xydane both were heading towards the direction of Coerthas and during their voyage both shared stories of their past. Intrigued and impressed, Xydane is one of the few that Bartolomeo knows that can be relied upon.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> [[Anelia Sadowyn]] : Anelia was one of the first paladins Bartolomeo had ever set eyes upon in Ul'dah, in reality he was the first ally he held dearly until he departed from Arcadeus. Upon reuniting Anelia offered to refer Bartolomeo into the Sultansworn to undertake its trials. Bartolomeo throughout his later encounters of her ended up assisting her against a monetarist plot in Western Thanalan. Once Bartolomeo left the Sultansworn however, Anelia and Bartolomeo's idealisms clashed, causing a sour taste to emerge Bartolomeo's mouth. Ever since, the two have not spoken.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> [[Siha Xinkei]] : Siha and Bartolomeo met first in Arcadeus, and ever since became close friends throughout his earlier days in Eorzea. The pair were growing close, but eventually their friendship was tarnished while Bartolomeo undertook a mission for the Sultansworn to retrieve a stolen tome. A strong disagreement between Bartolomeo and a crimelord, who was also Siha's friend at the time ensued. The two met each other again a few moons later, this time on better terms, but Bartolomeo still believes that they will forever hold conflicting sets of beliefs.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> [[Bell Ebonwing]] : Bartolomeo's first lover, a miqo'te keeper, raised in the streets of Ul'dah. Bartolomeo's first "mating" was with Bell, a revolutionary act in the former virgin's history. Due to dire circumstances in Ul'dah, the two did not stay with one another. Since their seperation, Bartolomeo shows inability in speaking to her without demonstrating disregard.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> [[Coatleque Crofte]] : The most loyal knight he has met in Eorzea thus far. The two hold differing beliefs and since his departure from the Sultansworn the two have been forever distant from one another. Due to her young age, Bartolomeo doesn't believe that Coatleque carries enough wisdom or if any on that regards.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> [[Jancis Milburga]] : The most gentle of ladies that Bartolomeo has ever settled eyes on, her desire to aid when the two used to encounter one another brought a sense of warmth to Bartolomeo's heart. Alas, her desire to help others, even those who are unjust, had once made Bartolomeo concerned of her good health.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> [[Rivienne Delacroux]] : Bartolomeo encountered Rivienne during a voyage around the Black Shroud.

<br />
Bartolomeo's life began in his family's villa deep within the capital of the Kingdom of Jeridia, an island based in the Rhotano sea. He was the youngest child of Lord Francesco Filangieri and Iolanda Acquarone. His family was highly regarded and generated a high level of influence within the nobility and the crown of Jeridia. House Filangieri's wealth came from the constant exportation of fish and resources, but most of its profit came from the ever dominant slave market that was permitted in the entire island. All of the slaves caught or sold consisted of miqo'tes tribesmen or woman that were found outside of the city's walls. This fortune made Francesco Filangieri highly renowned and decorated throughout Jeridia.<br />
<br />
Francesco determined that the heir to House Filangieri was to be Bartolomeo's older brother, Lorenzo. Thus, Lorenzo was tutored by his father to follow his path. Francesco neglected Bartolomeo, making him carve another path that was different from the rest of his family.<br />
<br />
Noticing Bartolomeo's passion in old tales of knights and chivalry, Francesco had the Grandmaster of the Knights of Jeridia take forth Bartolomeo and mentor him. The old Grandmaster accepted and taught the boy the chivalric code, the Twelve and from there made the young Bartolomeo develop a strong zeal for his culture and beliefs. <br />
<br />
Once reaching the age of 12, Manfredi brought Bartolomeo as his squire. With aiding the Grandmaster with various meager tasks, he was rewarded with sword fighting technique and useful advices in the arts of warfare.<br />
<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">1567 - 1574===<br />
<br />
Once Bartolomeo reached the age of 16, Manfredi finally declared that the young squire was old enough to officially become a knight and member of the order. It was then where his training came to good use but also new techniques and tricks were to be learned, as the knights specialized against repelling pirates but mostly dealt against miqo'te tribesmen that were present beyond the city walls. <br />
<br />
The knights in the order were trained to overcome the odds against a fearsome and outnumbering fighting force of tribals that could always besiege the city. Due to their specialty in fighting against miqo'tes, the people in Jeridia informally refered these knights as "Coeurlslayers", due to the similar ears and tails that both the miqo'te and coeurl have.<br />
<br />
Tensions finally began to grow thicker between the tribals and the kingdom of Jeridia. King Pandolfo the 'Careless' held interest to finally expand his realm by eliminating the nearby tribes. The King officially declared war after a group of Jeridian merchants were seen gruesomely murdered outside the city by a mob of tribals.<br />
<br />
Manfredi and his knightly order were dispatched outside the city. For the entirety of his young adulthood, Bartolomeo had to soak his blade with the blood of miqo'te in order to place his efforts for the order and the war. The order had to sack camps, various tribal settlements that were present throughout the island and win overwhelming battles in the middle of a tropical forest. By the end of the whole war, the population of miqo'te had dropped almost by fifty percent.<br />
<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">1574 - 1577===<br />
<br />
A year after the war had concluded, new issues began to grow within Jeridia's court. A claim for the throne was brought forth by House Tavelli, and therefore blackmailed to place their leader, Giovanni Tavelli, into power. King Pandolfo, as rentless and careless as he was renowned for, denied the accussations. This started a war in the streets of Jeridia's capital, yet the odds seemed hopeless for Tavelli's end in the beginning.<br />
<br />
Through schemes and conspiracies that had been planned throughout the war, House Tavelli managed to create a chain of uprisings by giving the defeated miqo'te words of hope and freedom. Other noble houses also remained in the midst of the plot for diverse reasons and formerly patriotic houses ended up joining the revolutionaries.<br />
<br />
After a few months the tides had turned, the King's loyalists were outmatched, including the order Bartolomeo was with. Francesco and Lorenzo, Bartolomeo's father and brother, were killed by a mob of nobleman in the streets. His mother Iolanda was barricaded in her own villa and burnt alive. <br />
<br />
Eventually the bloodshed would end with the beheadment of both Manfredi and Pandolfo. Those loyal who survived the carnage were either imprisoned, executed or spared if the price was proper. Bartolomeo was casted into an oubliette and remained trapped in there for a whole cycle.<br />
<br />
By year 1577, Bartolomeo was brought forth to the newly reformed court of the Republic of Jeridia. The monarchy was no longer present as it was now a council that governed Jeridia. The laws had been reformed, slavery was abolished, and the head of the council was known as a Doge. <br />
<br />
Giulio Filangieri, Bartolomeo's uncle, had managed to pay the Doge a ransom to have Bartolomeo liberated from his cell. The only drawback over than payment was to banish Bartolomeo from the realm of Jeridia and to never return...<br />
<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">1577 - Present===<br />
[[File:Bartolomeotier.jpeg|200px|thumb|<span style="color:#000000">Bartolomeo by Tiergan.</span>]]<br />
Ever since his exile, Bartolomeo arrived in Ul'dah, with but a bronze plate that covered his torso and lacked refine. He was brought upon an order known as Arcadeus and encountered Anelia Sadowyn, a paladin of the Sultanate of Ul'dah. Intrigued by Anelia's ideals, the worn and former prisoner recollected plenty of what he previously did under the knighthood of Manfredi's order. Eventually, after a dispute, Bartolomeo left Arcadeus and remained independant. <br />
<br />
His uncle Giulio Filangieri provided Bartolomeo with gil and riches from Jeridia, with little hesitation did he invested on the still devastated knight. Bartolomeo's funding continued until Giulio was branded a traitor of the Jeridian republic and fled to Thanalan to meet with his nephew. When offering Bartolomeo a crate of riches, Ludovico Tavelli and a small group of mercenaries arrived. A battle ensued, Giulio perished in the battle, but as did Ludovico and his men thanks to Bartolomeo's blade. <br />
<br />
Bartolomeo became affiliated to a few free companies and eventually, thanks to the influence of Anelia Sadowyn, managed to become a paladin in the Sultansworn. Eventually such was not his fate, as later events made him distrust Ul'dahn politics entirely. He kept ties with Ul'dah and performed investigations for a shadow organisation that functioned with the Immortal Flames. <br />
<br />
He spoked with an Ishgardian noblewoman throughout his time, and her words brought forth a seed of ambition deep inside Bartolomeo's mind. For months Bartolomeo had been planning in ways to restore House Filangieri, where all of its members were either killed or exiled. Eventually, thanks to the influence of an inquisitor that he had acquainted with, House Rontremont offered to restore his legacy by having him undertake a desperate mission to slay a dragon which was under the form of a miqo'te slave. <br />
<br />
Through days of swift planning Bartolomeo managed to eliminate the dragon, with the help of others. Lord Rontremont was pleased at the result and relieved that Bartolomeo had shown capability in fighting against the Dravinian Horde. As promised, the Lord turned Bartolomeo into his vassal but as well rendered him as Lord and noble. Bartolomeo renounced all allegiance to any other city-state. He swore fealty to House Rontremont and the Holy See, and swore to shift his faith towards that of the Ishgardian Orthodox Church.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
House Filangieri, its foundations date back throughout lost history where midlander clans conquered the eastern coast of the Jeridian island and then to when the Kingdom was born. No one knows of the predecessors of House Filangieri, other than the two final leaders of the Jeridian nobility, Francesco and Giulio Filangieri, whom both were killed by the rival House Tavelli, back on Jeridia. The Jeridian chapter of House Filangieri was rendered infamous for its power in the slave industry, miqo'te slaves taken from sacked tribal encampments were their main source of income and as well what gave them a dominating presence in the former Kingdom of Jeridia. Eventually, the King's rule was usurped and slavery was rendered a crime, House Filangieri was highly crippled by the end of the war, with Francesco murdered and Giulio left to rule the house alone. Giulio's death only rendered the Jeridian chapter of House Filangieri to extinction.<br />
<br />
Bartolomeo was offered a chance to restore his family name underneath Ishgard's banners, his title would be renewed but he would also fall as becoming a vassal of Lord Rontremont. Bartolomeo was told by House Rontremont in order to restore his family name, he had to slay a dragon shapeshifted as a false miqo'te concubine amongst the seeker "Antelope Tribe". Through a bloody moon Bartolomeo managed to have the dragon slain, eventually resulting in the restoration of House Filangieri, now as an Ishgardian chapter. Alas, due to foreign roots, any in House Filangieri are still not permitted to go beyond Ishgard's gates.<br />

===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">Sigil===<br />
<br />
The sigil of the Jeridian chapter of House Filangieri was that of a black and gold wolf, representing the hard industry that the family once delegated. Bartolomeo however when he had his name restored, changed the sigil to that of a human hand in a pose of benediction. The meaning of such signifies pledge of faith, sincerity, and justice. <br />
<br />
The colors of House Filangieri's coat of arms follows a similar scheme as it has for generations. The black representing constancy, while the gold represents generosity and elevation of mind.<br />
<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">Philosophy===<br />
<br />
House Filangieri's religious beliefs are of course influenced from the Ishgardian Orthodox Church. Those who are infidelious to their oaths, faith, loved ones or lieges - are declared as rivals to House Filangieri. Righteousness and justice are what they seek. If an action makes a mockery of law without a sanctimonious motive, then such culprit can be recognized by the House as an infidel.<br />
<br />
If a member of House Filangieri is declared an infidel, depending on the severity of the crime it can lead to banishment or in extreme cases, death or torture. Fidelity and righteousness is a must beneath the shroud of House Filangieri.<br />
<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">Fiefs===<br />
<br />
House Filangieri presently controls and occupies the fief of Castle Greywall, located within a secluded center of the Coerthas Highlands. It is the current place of residence of Lord Bartolomeo Filangieri.<br />

==<div style="font-size: 20px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">Basic Info ==<br />
<br />
Bartolomeo Filangieri (pronounced /Bar-toll-o-mayo/ /Fee-lan-gie-érie/) is a midlander hyur born from a noble family in the Kingdom of Jeridia, an island in the middle of the Rhotano Sea. His nameday is on the 16th Sun of 6th Astral Moon.<br />
<br />
At a young age Bartolomeo was inducted in a knightly order dedicated in eradicating miqo'te tribes that harrassed the Jeridian locals. Informally, those in the order were known as "Coeurlslayers" due to their specialty in dealing with the local tribes.<br />
<br />
After a civil war in his nation, the order Bartolomeo served in collapsed after the result of its Grandmaster being executed. The knights and Bartolomeo were imprisoned and considered as war criminals of the entire realm. <br />
<br />
After heavy convincing from his surviving uncle, the new Doge of Jeridia decided to spare Bartolomeo a lifetime in an oubliette and therefore exiled him from the realm, sending him forth to Eorzea to start his life anew. <br />
<br />
With time Bartolomeo settled in the metropolis of Ul'dah and through new contacts managed to get referred into the Sultansworn. Due to his sanctimonious nature, Bartolomeo eventually broke off with the Sultansworn and became an independant knight.<br />
<br />
As time passed, Bartolomeo eventually proved himself to an Ishgardian noble family and had his family House restored but under the Holy See's delegation.<br />
<br />
==<div style="font-size: 20px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">Appearance and Character==<br />
<br />
For a midlander, Bartolomeo can be described as strapping, tall, and broad shouldered. He is described as being particularly attractive, a trait that was found common in his family. Bartolomeo has gold, penetrating eyes that at times can make one wary during moments of silence. His head holds a properly groomed brown hair which often smells of fresh ointments. His face is always cleanly shaved on a daily basis, making the touch to his skin to be relatively smooth. He has hollow cheeks, dark circles beneath his eyes and thin lips.<br />
<br />
Bartolomeo is a serious, calm, stubborn and bold man. He believes in honoring the legacy of his family rather than discriminate against it as the new nobles of the Jeridian republic do. He believes in justice and being fidelious with his oaths when he can, he will not punish a man if he believes him to be innocent. <br />
<br />
Having spent most of his live in Jeridia fighting against miqo'te clans, Bartolomeo holds a distaste and wariness towards miqo'tes he meets, even more so if they are tribal. The man also holds a great distaste towards Eorzean and Garlean customs, although he remains subtle about his views unless speaking in more subtle environments.<br />

<br />
<span class="mw-headline">''Most of Bartolomeo's family members were killed by the civil war that occurred in Jeridia, some might have survived the onslaught, but at the present Bartolomeo is the only known surviving member of House Filangieri.''</span><br />
<br />
:<span class="mw-headline">'''[[Francesco Filangieri]] (Father, deceased)&nbsp;''': Francesco hosted the most financially providing slave trade in the market of Jeridia. What was done to the slaves are often mystery, but when people used to question the man on the matter, he'd inform them to refer to them as servants rather than slaves. He allowed the masters of these miqo'te slaves to treat them under their jurisdictions, aslong as it did not "violate" Jeridian laws. The man was known in the Kingdom as an influential merchant, and at times aristocrat. Bartolomeo and his father however never managed to meet eye-to-eye, mainly because Francesco disregarded Bartolomeo as the chosen heir to House Filangieri was his older brother, Lorenzo. Once Bartolomeo served Manfredi's knightly order, Francesco stripped all titles from Bartolomeo but kept him in his court. Francesco perished during House Tavelli's civil war, when an angry mob of nobles stabbed him and his oldest son Lorenzo in the middle of the streets.</span><br/><br />
<br />
:<span class="mw-headline">'''[[Iolanda Acquarone]] (Mother, deceased)&nbsp;:''' Despite his father's negligence, Iolanda did not mind Bartolomeo's presence, and often gave him counsel for anything he needed. His mannerisms and acts of behaving like a "gentleman" or dressing formally were received by Iolanda. Although Bartolomeo never witnessed his mother's death, the family manor was barricaded and burnt to the ground while she still remained within it.</span><br/><br />
<br />
:<span class="mw-headline">'''[[Lorenzo Filangieri]] (Brother, deceased)&nbsp;:''' House Filangieri's future head was to be Lorenzo. Despite being arrogant, Lorenzo held great respect for his younger brother and did not hesitate to stand up for him if the event needed it so. Lorenzo was slain alongside his father during Giovanni's civil war.</span><br/><br />
<br />
:<span class="mw-headline">'''[[Giulio Filangieri]] (Uncle, deceased)&nbsp;: '''After the civil war ended, Giulio was the only survivor of House Filangieri that remained in Jeridia with few discrimination. When Bartolomeo was banished and began to reside in Ul'dah, Giulio communicated with him through letters to understand where his life had been taking him. With time Giulio told Bartolomeo that the Doge of Jeridia wished to seek audience and reinstate Bartolomeo's status as a noble. Although Bartolomeo ventured into Jeridia and refused to take part in nobility, Giulio had to plot his way to reclaiming his family's previous status. After Bartolomeo returned to Eorzea, Giulio started to fabricate claims which was shortly noticed by the Doge. The old man, had to escape the island and eventually get in touch with Bartolomeo in the middle of Thanalan. The meeting resulted in a bloodbath after the Doge's cousin, Ludovico Tavelli, emerged with armed forces. Siha Xinkei, who was Bartolomeo's friend at the time, was present in the meeting and eventual combat and while she was nearly overwhelmed. Giulio managed to spare Siha a gruesome fate as he charged in and, unfortunately got killed in her place.</span><br/><br />

<br />
: <font style="color:#F02311;" size="3">♥</font> [[Tietra Mynhier]] : Erik Mynhier's lost sister met Bartolomeo within a ceremony that occured within the Red Wings' headquarters, barely before meeting one another, the woman rewarded Bartolomeo with various lewd remarks about his posterior. Shortly after, the pair met again and ventured out together to talk outside Ul'dah's walls. Still did the woman resume her lewdness, the man grew to take a liking in her, falling under her wave of charm and alluring nature. He accompanied her while he went off towards his campaign for House Rontremont in the Black Shroud. Through petty arguments and personal conversations, the man grew to fancy the woman even further, eventually the two began to hold a highly intimate relationship. After his reward in winning against the Dravanian infiltrator in the Antelope Tribe, Bartolomeo ventured back to Ul'dah in the most subtle of manners to smuggle the young woman to Castle Greywall with him, declaring his love for her officially.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Askier Mergrey]] : Once known as a terrorist in Ul'dah, while his beloved was held as a hostage by Garleans, the miqo'te managed to gain Bartolomeo's approval as he rescued the man while a band of assassins nearly ended his life. Furthermore, he did so out of kindness, thus proving that tales of his callousness are somewhat exaggerated.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Kale Aideron]] : A soldier of Ul'dah who works with the Brass Blades and the Syndicate. The man first met Bartolomeo in the Grindstone tournament during his time as a free paladin. The two befriended one another as they did not hesitate to watch each other's backs during a conflict in the Quicksand. The man has not met Kale in awhile, but prays to do so in the near future.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Seiletta Rougefeather]] : The elezen Seiletta is one that had encountered Bartolomeo throughout several situations, since his time in Ul'dah and his various trips towards Gridannia. The elezen once aided Bartolomeo in dealing against a group of Ishgardian knights who found the former paladin's presence to be entirely suspicious. With time, the two met again once Bartolomeo became an Ishgardian nobleman.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Xydane Vale]] : Xydane met Bartolomeo during his battle against a dragon in the Black Shroud. His timely appearance certified the favor of the battle to go towards Bartolomeo's end. Bartolomeo and Xydane both were heading towards the direction of Coerthas and during their voyage both shared stories of their past. Intrigued and impressed, Xydane is one of the few that Bartolomeo knows that can be relied upon.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> [[Anelia Sadowyn]] : Anelia was one of the first paladins Bartolomeo had ever set eyes upon in Ul'dah, in reality he was the first ally he held dearly until he departed from Arcadeus. Upon reuniting Anelia offered to refer Bartolomeo into the Sultansworn to undertake its trials. Bartolomeo throughout his later encounters of her ended up assisting her against a monetarist plot in Western Thanalan. Once Bartolomeo left the Sultansworn however, Anelia and Bartolomeo's idealisms clashed, causing a sour taste to emerge Bartolomeo's mouth. Ever since, the two have not spoken.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> [[Siha Xinkei]] : Siha and Bartolomeo met first in Arcadeus, and ever since became close friends throughout his earlier days in Eorzea. The pair were growing close, but eventually their friendship was tarnished while Bartolomeo undertook a mission for the Sultansworn to retrieve a stolen tome. A strong disagreement between Bartolomeo and a crimelord, who was also Siha's friend at the time ensued. The two met each other again a few moons later, this time on better terms, but Bartolomeo still believes that they will forever hold conflicting sets of beliefs.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> [[Bell Ebonwing]] : Bartolomeo's first lover, a miqo'te keeper, raised in the streets of Ul'dah. Bartolomeo's first "mating" was with Bell, a revolutionary act in the former virgin's history. Due to dire circumstances in Ul'dah, the two did not stay with one another. Since their seperation, Bartolomeo shows inability in speaking to her without demonstrating disregard.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> [[Coatleque Crofte]] : The most loyal knight he has met in Eorzea thus far. The two hold differing beliefs and since his departure from the Sultansworn the two have been forever distant from one another. Due to her young age, Bartolomeo doesn't believe that Coatleque carries enough wisdom or if any on that regards.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> [[Jancis Milburga]] : The most gentle of ladies that Bartolomeo has ever settled eyes on, her desire to aid when the two used to encounter one another brought a sense of warmth to Bartolomeo's heart. Alas, her desire to help others, even those who are unjust, had once made Bartolomeo concerned of her good health.<br />

<br />
Bartolomeo's life began in his family's villa deep within the capital of the Kingdom of Jeridia, an island based in the Rhotano sea. He was the youngest child of Lord Francesco Filangieri and Iolanda Acquarone. His family was highly regarded and generated a high level of influence within the nobility and the crown of Jeridia. House Filangieri's wealth came from the constant exportation of fish and resources, but most of its profit came from the ever dominant slave market that was permitted in the entire island. All of the slaves caught or sold consisted of miqo'tes tribesmen or woman that were found outside of the city's walls. This fortune made Francesco Filangieri highly renowned and decorated throughout Jeridia.<br />
<br />
Francesco determined that the heir to House Filangieri was to be Bartolomeo's older brother, Lorenzo. Thus, Lorenzo was tutored by his father to follow his path. Francesco neglected Bartolomeo, making him carve another path that was different from the rest of his family.<br />
<br />
Noticing Bartolomeo's passion in old tales of knights and chivalry, Francesco had the Grandmaster of the Knights of Jeridia take forth Bartolomeo and mentor him. The old Grandmaster accepted and taught the boy the chivalric code, the Twelve and from there made the young Bartolomeo develop a strong zeal for his culture and beliefs. <br />
<br />
Once reaching the age of 12, Manfredi brought Bartolomeo as his squire. With aiding the Grandmaster with various meager tasks, he was rewarded with sword fighting technique and useful advices in the arts of warfare.<br />
<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">1567 - 1574===<br />
<br />
Once Bartolomeo reached the age of 16, Manfredi finally declared that the young squire was old enough to officially become a knight and member of the order. It was then where his training came to good use but also new techniques and tricks were to be learned, as the knights specialized against repelling pirates but mostly dealt against miqo'te tribesmen that were present beyond the city walls. <br />
<br />
The knights in the order were trained to overcome the odds against a fearsome and outnumbering fighting force of tribals that could always besiege the city. Due to their specialty in fighting against miqo'tes, the people in Jeridia informally refered these knights as "Coeurlslayers", due to the similar ears and tails that both the miqo'te and coeurl have.<br />
<br />
Tensions finally began to grow thicker between the tribals and the kingdom of Jeridia. King Pandolfo the 'Careless' held interest to finally expand his realm by eliminating the nearby tribes. The King officially declared war after a group of Jeridian merchants were seen gruesomely murdered outside the city by a mob of tribals.<br />
<br />
Manfredi and his knightly order were dispatched outside the city. For the entirety of his young adulthood, Bartolomeo had to soak his blade with the blood of miqo'te in order to place his efforts for the order and the war. The order had to sack camps, various tribal settlements that were present throughout the island and win overwhelming battles in the middle of a tropical forest. By the end of the whole war, the population of miqo'te had dropped almost by fifty percent.<br />
<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">1574 - 1577===<br />
<br />
A year after the war had concluded, new issues began to grow within Jeridia's court. A claim for the throne was brought forth by House Tavelli, and therefore blackmailed to place their leader, Giovanni Tavelli, into power. King Pandolfo, as rentless and careless as he was renowned for, denied the accussations. This started a war in the streets of Jeridia's capital, yet the odds seemed hopeless for Tavelli's end in the beginning.<br />
<br />
Through schemes and conspiracies that had been planned throughout the war, House Tavelli managed to create a chain of uprisings by giving the defeated miqo'te words of hope and freedom. Other noble houses also remained in the midst of the plot for diverse reasons and formerly patriotic houses ended up joining the revolutionaries.<br />
<br />
After a few months the tides had turned, the King's loyalists were outmatched, including the order Bartolomeo was with. Francesco and Lorenzo, Bartolomeo's father and brother, were killed by a mob of nobleman in the streets. His mother Iolanda was barricaded in her own villa and burnt alive. <br />
<br />
Eventually the bloodshed would end with the beheadment of both Manfredi and Pandolfo. Those loyal who survived the carnage were either imprisoned, executed or spared if the price was proper. Bartolomeo was casted into an oubliette and remained trapped in there for a whole cycle.<br />
<br />
By year 1577, Bartolomeo was brought forth to the newly reformed court of the Republic of Jeridia. The monarchy was no longer present as it was now a council that governed Jeridia. The laws had been reformed, slavery was abolished, and the head of the council was known as a Doge. <br />
<br />
Giulio Filangieri, Bartolomeo's uncle, had managed to pay the Doge a ransom to have Bartolomeo liberated from his cell. The only drawback over than payment was to banish Bartolomeo from the realm of Jeridia and to never return...<br />
<br />

[[File:Bartolomeotier.jpeg|200px|thumb|<span style="color:#000000">Bartolomeo by Tiergan.</span>]]<br />
Ever since his exile, Bartolomeo arrived in Ul'dah, with but a bronze plate that covered his torso and lacked refine. He was brought upon an order known as Arcadeus and encountered Anelia Sadowyn, a paladin of the Sultanate of Ul'dah. Intrigued by Anelia's ideals, the worn and former prisoner recollected plenty of what he previously did under the knighthood of Manfredi's order. Eventually, after a dispute, Bartolomeo left Arcadeus and remained independant. <br />
<br />
His uncle Giulio Filangieri provided Bartolomeo with gil and riches from Jeridia, with little hesitation did he invested on the still devastated knight. Bartolomeo's funding continued until Giulio was branded a traitor of the Jeridian republic and fled to Thanalan to meet with his nephew. When offering Bartolomeo a crate of riches, Ludovico Tavelli and a small group of mercenaries arrived. A battle ensued, Giulio perished in the battle, but as did Ludovico and his men thanks to Bartolomeo's blade. <br />
<br />
Bartolomeo became affiliated to a few free companies and eventually, thanks to the influence of Anelia Sadowyn, managed to become a paladin in the Sultansworn. Eventually such was not his fate, as later events made him distrust Ul'dahn politics entirely. He kept ties with Ul'dah and performed investigations for a shadow organisation that functioned with the Immortal Flames. <br />
<br />
He spoked with an Ishgardian noblewoman throughout his time, and her words brought forth a seed of ambition deep inside Bartolomeo's mind. For months Bartolomeo had been planning in ways to restore House Filangieri, where all of its members were either killed or exiled. Eventually, thanks to the influence of an inquisitor that he had acquainted with, House Rontremont offered to restore his legacy by having him undertake a desperate mission to slay a dragon which was under the form of a miqo'te slave. <br />
<br />
Through days of swift planning Bartolomeo managed to eliminate the dragon, with the help of others. Lord Rontremont was pleased at the result and relieved that Bartolomeo had shown capability in fighting against the Dravinian Horde. As promised, the Lord turned Bartolomeo into his vassal but as well rendered him as Lord and noble. Bartolomeo renounced all allegiance to any other city-state. He swore fealty to House Rontremont and the Holy See, and swore to shift his faith towards that of the Ishgardian Orthodox Church.<br />

<big>''"With Sanctimony and Fidelity" <br><small>~Family motto since the foundation of the Ishgardian chapter</small>''</big><br />
</center><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
House Filangieri, its foundations date back throughout lost history where midlander clans conquered the eastern coast of the Jeridian island and then to when the Kingdom was born. No one knows of the predecessors of House Filangieri, other than the two final leaders of the Jeridian nobility, Francesco and Giulio Filangieri, whom both were killed by the rival House Tavelli, back on Jeridia. The Jeridian chapter of House Filangieri was rendered infamous for its power in the slave industry, miqo'te slaves taken from sacked tribal encampments were their main source of income and as well what gave them a dominating presence in the former Kingdom of Jeridia. Eventually, the King's rule was usurped and slavery was rendered a crime, House Filangieri was highly crippled by the end of the war, with Francesco murdered and Giulio left to rule the house alone. Giulio's death only rendered the Jeridian chapter of House Filangieri to extinction.<br />
<br />
Bartolomeo was offered a chance to restore his family name underneath Ishgard's banners, his title would be renewed but he would also fall as becoming a vassal of Lord Rontremont. Bartolomeo was told by House Rontremont in order to restore his family name, he had to slay a dragon shapeshifted as a false miqo'te concubine amongst the seeker "Antelope Tribe". Through a bloody moon Bartolomeo managed to have the dragon slain, eventually resulting in the restoration of House Filangieri, now as an Ishgardian chapter. Alas, due to foreign roots, any in House Filangieri are still not permitted to go beyond Ishgard's gates.<br />
<br />
[[File:CleanCoatFilangieri.png|thumb|right|120px| <span style="color:#000000">Jeridian House Filangieri's sigil.</span>]]<br />
<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">Sigil===<br />
<br />
The sigil of the Jeridian chapter of House Filangieri was that of a black and gold wolf, representing the hard industry that the family once delegated. Bartolomeo however when he had his name restored, changed the sigil to that of a human hand in a pose of benediction. The meaning of such signifies pledge of faith, sincerity, and justice. <br />
<br />
The colors of House Filangieri's coat of arms follows a similar scheme as it has for generations. The black representing constancy, while the gold represents generosity and elevation of mind.<br />
<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">Philosophy===<br />
<br />
House Filangieri's religious beliefs are of course influenced from the Ishgardian Orthodox Church. Those who are infidelious to their oaths, faith, loved ones or lieges - are declared as rivals to House Filangieri. Righteousness and justice are what they seek. If an action makes a mockery of law without a sanctimonious motive, then such culprit can be recognized by the House as an infidel.<br />
<br />
If a member of House Filangieri is declared an infidel, depending on the severity of the crime it can lead to banishment or in extreme cases, death or torture. Fidelity and righteousness is a must beneath the shroud of House Filangieri.<br />
<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">Fiefs===<br />
<br />
House Filangieri presently controls and occupies the fief of Castle Greywall, located within a secluded center of the Coerthas Highlands. It is the current place of residence of Lord Bartolomeo Filangieri.<br />

==<div style="font-size: 20px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">Basic Info ==<br />
<br />
Bartolomeo Filangieri (pronounced /Bar-toll-o-mayo/ /Fee-lan-gie-érie/) is a midlander hyur born from a noble family in the Kingdom of Jeridia, an island in the middle of the Rhotano Sea. His nameday is on the 16th Sun of 6th Astral Moon.<br />
<br />
At a young age Bartolomeo was inducted in a knightly order dedicated in eradicating miqo'te tribes that harrassed the Jeridian locals. Informally, those in the order were known as "Coeurlslayers" due to their specialty in dealing with the local tribes.<br />
<br />
After a civil war in his nation, the order Bartolomeo served in collapsed after the result of its Grandmaster being executed. The knights and Bartolomeo were imprisoned and considered as war criminals of the entire realm. <br />
<br />
After heavy convincing from his surviving uncle, the new Doge of Jeridia decided to spare Bartolomeo a lifetime in an oubliette and therefore exiled him from the realm, sending him forth to Eorzea to start his life anew. <br />
<br />
With time Bartolomeo settled in the metropolis of Ul'dah and through new contacts managed to get referred into the Sultansworn. Due to his sanctimonious nature, Bartolomeo eventually broke off with the Sultansworn and became an independant knight.<br />
<br />
As time passed, Bartolomeo eventually proved himself to an Ishgardian noble family and had his family House restored but under the Holy See's delegation.<br />
<br />
==<div style="font-size: 20px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">Appearance and Character==<br />
<br />
For a midlander, Bartolomeo can be described as strapping, tall, and broad shouldered. He is described as being particularly attractive, a trait that was found common in his family. Bartolomeo has gold, penetrating eyes that at times can make one wary during moments of silence. His head holds a properly groomed brown hair which often smells of fresh ointments. His face is always cleanly shaved on a daily basis, making the touch to his skin to be relatively smooth. He has hollow cheeks, dark circles beneath his eyes and thin lips.<br />
<br />
Bartolomeo is a serious, calm, stubborn and bold man. He believes in honoring the legacy of his family rather than discriminate against it as the new nobles of the Jeridian republic do. He believes in justice and being fidelious with his oaths when he can, he will not punish a man if he believes him to be innocent. <br />
<br />
Having spent most of his live in Jeridia fighting against miqo'te clans, Bartolomeo holds a distaste and wariness towards miqo'tes he meets, even more so if they are tribal. The man also holds a great distaste towards Eorzean and Garlean customs, although he remains subtle about his views unless speaking in more subtle environments.<br />

<span class="mw-headline">''Most of Bartolomeo's family members were killed by the civil war that occurred in Jeridia, some might have survived the onslaught, but at the present Bartolomeo is the only known surviving member of House Filangieri.''</span><br />
<br />
:<span class="mw-headline">'''[[Francesco Filangieri]] (Father, deceased)&nbsp;''': Francesco hosted the most financially providing slave trade in the market of Jeridia. What was done to the slaves are often mystery, but when people used to question the man on the matter, he'd inform them to refer to them as servants rather than slaves. He allowed the masters of these miqo'te slaves to treat them under their jurisdictions, aslong as it did not "violate" Jeridian laws. The man was known in the Kingdom as an influential merchant, and at times aristocrat. Bartolomeo and his father however never managed to meet eye-to-eye, mainly because Francesco disregarded Bartolomeo as the chosen heir to House Filangieri was his older brother, Lorenzo. Once Bartolomeo served Manfredi's knightly order, Francesco stripped all titles from Bartolomeo but kept him in his court. Francesco perished during House Tavelli's civil war, when an angry mob of nobles stabbed him and his oldest son Lorenzo in the middle of the streets.</span><br/><br />
<br />
:<span class="mw-headline">'''[[Iolanda Acquarone]] (Mother, deceased)&nbsp;:''' Despite his father's negligence, Iolanda did not mind Bartolomeo's presence, and often gave him counsel for anything he needed. His mannerisms and acts of behaving like a "gentleman" or dressing formally were received by Iolanda. Although Bartolomeo never witnessed his mother's death, the family manor was barricaded and burnt to the ground while she still remained within it.</span><br/><br />
<br />
:<span class="mw-headline">'''[[Lorenzo Filangieri]] (Brother, deceased)&nbsp;:''' House Filangieri's future head was to be Lorenzo. Despite being arrogant, Lorenzo held great respect for his younger brother and did not hesitate to stand up for him if the event needed it so. Lorenzo was slain alongside his father during Giovanni's civil war.</span><br/><br />
<br />
:<span class="mw-headline">'''[[Giulio Filangieri]] (Uncle, deceased)&nbsp;: '''After the civil war ended, Giulio was the only survivor of House Filangieri that remained in Jeridia with few discrimination. When Bartolomeo was banished and began to reside in Ul'dah, Giulio communicated with him through letters to understand where his life had been taking him. With time Giulio told Bartolomeo that the Doge of Jeridia wished to seek audience and reinstate Bartolomeo's status as a noble. Although Bartolomeo ventured into Jeridia and refused to take part in nobility, Giulio had to plot his way to reclaiming his family's previous status. After Bartolomeo returned to Eorzea, Giulio started to fabricate claims which was shortly noticed by the Doge. The old man, had to escape the island and eventually get in touch with Bartolomeo in the middle of Thanalan. The meeting resulted in a bloodbath after the Doge's cousin, Ludovico Tavelli, emerged with armed forces. Siha Xinkei, who was Bartolomeo's friend at the time, was present in the meeting and eventual combat and while she was nearly overwhelmed. Giulio managed to spare Siha a gruesome fate as he charged in and, unfortunately got killed in her place.</span><br/><br />

<br />
: <font style="color:#F02311;" size="3">♥</font> [[Tietra Mynhier]] : Erik Mynhier's lost sister met Bartolomeo within a ceremony that occured within the Red Wings' headquarters, barely before meeting one another, the woman rewarded Bartolomeo with various lewd remarks about his posterior. Shortly after, the pair met again and ventured out together to talk outside Ul'dah's walls. Still did the woman resume her lewdness, the man grew to take a liking in her, falling under her wave of charm and alluring nature. He accompanied her while he went off towards his campaign for House Rontremont in the Black Shroud. Through petty arguments and personal conversations, the man grew to fancy the woman even further, eventually the two began to hold a highly intimate relationship. After his reward in winning against the Dravanian infiltrator in the Antelope Tribe, Bartolomeo ventured back to Ul'dah in the most subtle of manners to smuggle the young woman to Castle Greywall with him, declaring his love for her officially.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Askier Mergrey]] : Once known as a terrorist in Ul'dah, while his beloved was held as a hostage by Garleans, the miqo'te managed to gain Bartolomeo's approval as he rescued the man while a band of assassins nearly ended his life. Furthermore, he did so out of kindness, thus proving that tales of his callousness are somewhat exaggerated.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Kale Aideron]] : A soldier of Ul'dah who works with the Brass Blades and the Syndicate. The man first met Bartolomeo in the Grindstone tournament during his time as a free paladin. The two befriended one another as they did not hesitate to watch each other's backs during a conflict in the Quicksand. The man has not met Kale in awhile, but prays to do so in the near future.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Seiletta Rougefeather]] : The elezen Seiletta is one that had encountered Bartolomeo throughout several situations, since his time in Ul'dah and his various trips towards Gridannia. The elezen once aided Bartolomeo in dealing against a group of Ishgardian knights who found the former paladin's presence to be entirely suspicious. With time, the two met again once Bartolomeo became an Ishgardian nobleman.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Xydane Vale]] : Xydane met Bartolomeo during his battle against a dragon in the Black Shroud. His timely appearance certified the favor of the battle to go towards Bartolomeo's end. Bartolomeo and Xydane both were heading towards the direction of Coerthas and during their voyage both shared stories of their past. Intrigued and impressed, Xydane is one of the few that Bartolomeo knows that can be relied upon.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> [[Anelia Sadowyn]] : Anelia was one of the first paladins Bartolomeo had ever set eyes upon in Ul'dah, in reality he was the first ally he held dearly until he departed from Arcadeus. Upon reuniting Anelia offered to refer Bartolomeo into the Sultansworn to undertake its trials. Bartolomeo throughout his later encounters of her ended up assisting her against a monetarist plot in Western Thanalan. Once Bartolomeo left the Sultansworn however, Anelia and Bartolomeo's idealisms clashed, causing a sour taste to emerge Bartolomeo's mouth. Ever since, the two have not spoken.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> [[Siha Xinkei]] : Siha and Bartolomeo met first in Arcadeus, and ever since became close friends throughout his earlier days in Eorzea. The pair were growing close, but eventually their friendship was tarnished while Bartolomeo undertook a mission for the Sultansworn to retrieve a stolen tome. A strong disagreement between Bartolomeo and a crimelord, who was also Siha's friend at the time ensued. The two met each other again a few moons later, this time on better terms, but Bartolomeo still believes that they will forever hold conflicting sets of beliefs.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> [[Bell Ebonwing]] : Bartolomeo's first lover, a miqo'te keeper, raised in the streets of Ul'dah. Bartolomeo's first "mating" was with Bell, a revolutionary act in the former virgin's history. Due to dire circumstances in Ul'dah, the two did not stay with one another. Since their seperation, Bartolomeo shows inability in speaking to her without demonstrating disregard.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> [[Coatleque Crofte]] : The most loyal knight he has met in Eorzea thus far. The two hold differing beliefs and since his departure from the Sultansworn the two have been forever distant from one another. Due to her young age, Bartolomeo doesn't believe that Coatleque carries enough wisdom or if any on that regards.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> [[Jancis Milburga]] : The most gentle of ladies that Bartolomeo has ever settled eyes on, her desire to aid when the two used to encounter one another brought a sense of warmth to Bartolomeo's heart. Alas, her desire to help others, even those who are unjust, had once made Bartolomeo concerned of her good health.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> [[Rivienne Delacroux]] : Bartolomeo encountered Rivienne during a voyage around the Black Shroud. Bartolomeo remains wary of the woodlander's motives and feels uncomfortable when she is present. Rivienne's preference of the wilds over the city brought forth a great deal of inquiries from Bartolomeo. The man would not neglect the fact that the woman carries an exotic charm and beauty that can smite a person deeply.<br />

==<div style="font-size: 20px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)"> Backstory ==<br />
<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">1549 - 1567===<br />
<br />
Bartolomeo's life began in his family's villa deep within the capital of the Kingdom of Jeridia, an island based in the Rhotano sea. He was the youngest child of Lord Francesco Filangieri and Iolanda Acquarone. His family was highly regarded and generated a high level of influence within the nobility and the crown of Jeridia. House Filangieri's wealth came from the constant exportation of fish and resources, but most of its profit came from the ever dominant slave market that was permitted in the entire island. All of the slaves caught or sold consisted of miqo'tes tribesmen or woman that were found outside of the city's walls. This fortune made Francesco Filangieri highly renowned and decorated throughout Jeridia.<br />
<br />
Francesco determined that the heir to House Filangieri was to be Bartolomeo's older brother, Lorenzo. Thus, Lorenzo was tutored by his father to follow his path. Francesco neglected Bartolomeo, making him carve another path that was different from the rest of his family.<br />
<br />
Noticing Bartolomeo's passion in old tales of knights and chivalry, Francesco had the Grandmaster of the Knights of Jeridia take forth Bartolomeo and mentor him. The old Grandmaster accepted and taught the boy the chivalric code, the Twelve and from there made the young Bartolomeo develop a strong zeal for his culture and beliefs. <br />
<br />
Once reaching the age of 12, Manfredi brought Bartolomeo as his squire. With aiding the Grandmaster with various meager tasks, he was rewarded with sword fighting technique and useful advices in the arts of warfare.<br />
<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">1567 - 1574===<br />
<br />
Once Bartolomeo reached the age of 16, Manfredi finally declared that the young squire was old enough to officially become a knight and member of the order. It was then where his training came to good use but also new techniques and tricks were to be learned, as the knights specialized against repelling pirates but mostly dealt against miqo'te tribesmen that were present beyond the city walls. <br />
<br />
The knights in the order were trained to overcome the odds against a fearsome and outnumbering fighting force of tribals that could always besiege the city. Due to their specialty in fighting against miqo'tes, the people in Jeridia informally refered these knights as "Coeurlslayers", due to the similar ears and tails that both the miqo'te and coeurl have.<br />
<br />
Tensions finally began to grow thicker between the tribals and the kingdom of Jeridia. King Pandolfo the 'Careless' held interest to finally expand his realm by eliminating the nearby tribes. The King officially declared war after a group of Jeridian merchants were seen gruesomely murdered outside the city by a mob of tribals.<br />
<br />
Manfredi and his knightly order were dispatched outside the city. For the entirety of his young adulthood, Bartolomeo had to soak his blade with the blood of miqo'te in order to place his efforts for the order and the war. The order had to sack camps, various tribal settlements that were present throughout the island and win overwhelming battles in the middle of a tropical forest. By the end of the whole war, the population of miqo'te had dropped almost by fifty percent.<br />
<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">1574 - 1577===<br />
<br />
A year after the war had concluded, new issues began to grow within Jeridia's court. A claim for the throne was brought forth by House Tavelli, and therefore blackmailed to place their leader, Giovanni Tavelli, into power. King Pandolfo, as rentless and careless as he was renowned for, denied the accussations. This started a war in the streets of Jeridia's capital, yet the odds seemed hopeless for Tavelli's end in the beginning.<br />
<br />
Through schemes and conspiracies that had been planned throughout the war, House Tavelli managed to create a chain of uprisings by giving the defeated miqo'te words of hope and freedom. Other noble houses also remained in the midst of the plot for diverse reasons and formerly patriotic houses ended up joining the revolutionaries.<br />
<br />
After a few months the tides had turned, the King's loyalists were outmatched, including the order Bartolomeo was with. Francesco and Lorenzo, Bartolomeo's father and brother, were killed by a mob of nobleman in the streets. His mother Iolanda was barricaded in her own villa and burnt alive. <br />
<br />
Eventually the bloodshed would end with the beheadment of both Manfredi and Pandolfo. Those loyal who survived the carnage were either imprisoned, executed or spared if the price was proper. Bartolomeo was casted into an oubliette and remained trapped in there for a whole cycle.<br />
<br />
By year 1577, Bartolomeo was brought forth to the newly reformed court of the Republic of Jeridia. The monarchy was no longer present as it was now a council that governed Jeridia. The laws had been reformed, slavery was abolished, and the head of the council was known as a Doge. <br />
<br />
Giulio Filangieri, Bartolomeo's uncle, had managed to pay the Doge a ransom to have Bartolomeo liberated from his cell. The only drawback over than payment was to banish Bartolomeo from the realm of Jeridia and to never return...<br />
<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">1577 - Present===<br />
[[File:Bartolomeotier.jpeg|200px|thumb|<span style="color:#000000">Bartolomeo by Tiergan.</span>]]<br />
Ever since his exile, Bartolomeo arrived in Ul'dah, with but a bronze plate that covered his torso and lacked refine. He was brought upon an order known as Arcadeus and encountered Anelia Sadowyn, a paladin of the Sultanate of Ul'dah. Intrigued by Anelia's ideals, the worn and former prisoner recollected plenty of what he previously did under the knighthood of Manfredi's order. Eventually, after a dispute, Bartolomeo left Arcadeus and remained independant. <br />
<br />
His uncle Giulio Filangieri provided Bartolomeo with gil and riches from Jeridia, with little hesitation did he invested on the still devastated knight. Bartolomeo's funding continued until Giulio was branded a traitor of the Jeridian republic and fled to Thanalan to meet with his nephew. When offering Bartolomeo a crate of riches, Ludovico Tavelli and a small group of mercenaries arrived. A battle ensued, Giulio perished in the battle, but as did Ludovico and his men thanks to Bartolomeo's blade. <br />
<br />
Bartolomeo became affiliated to a few free companies and eventually, thanks to the influence of Anelia Sadowyn, managed to become a paladin in the Sultansworn. Eventually such was not his fate, as later events made him distrust Ul'dahn politics entirely. He kept ties with Ul'dah and performed investigations for a shadow organisation that functioned with the Immortal Flames. <br />
<br />
He spoked with an Ishgardian noblewoman throughout his time, and her words brought forth a seed of ambition deep inside Bartolomeo's mind. For months Bartolomeo had been planning in ways to restore House Filangieri, where all of its members were either killed or exiled. Eventually, thanks to the influence of an inquisitor that he had acquainted with, House Rontremont offered to restore his legacy by having him undertake a desperate mission to slay a dragon which was under the form of a miqo'te slave. <br />
<br />
Through days of swift planning Bartolomeo managed to eliminate the dragon, with the help of others. Lord Rontremont was pleased at the result and relieved that Bartolomeo had shown capability in fighting against the Dravinian Horde. As promised, the Lord turned Bartolomeo into his vassal but as well rendered him as Lord and noble. Bartolomeo renounced all allegiance to any other city-state. He swore fealty to House Rontremont and the Holy See, and swore to shift his faith towards that of the Ishgardian Orthodox Church.<br />
<br />
==<div style="font-size: 20px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">House Filangieri==<br />
<br />
<center>[[File:FilangieriSigil.png|220 px]]<br><br><br />
<big>''"With Sanctimony and Fidelity" <br><small>~Family motto since the foundation of the Ishgardian chapter</small>''</big><br />
</center><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
House Filangieri, its foundations date back throughout lost history where midlander clans conquered the eastern coast of the Jeridian island and then to when the Kingdom was born. No one knows of the predecessors of House Filangieri, other than the two final leaders of the Jeridian nobility, Francesco and Giulio Filangieri, whom both were killed by the rival House Tavelli, back on Jeridia. The Jeridian chapter of House Filangieri was rendered infamous for its power in the slave industry, miqo'te slaves taken from sacked tribal encampments were their main source of income and as well what gave them a dominating presence in the former Kingdom of Jeridia. Eventually, the King's rule was usurped and slavery was rendered a crime, House Filangieri was highly crippled by the end of the war, with Francesco murdered and Giulio left to rule the house alone. Giulio's death only rendered the Jeridian chapter of House Filangieri to extinction.<br />
<br />
Bartolomeo was offered a chance to restore his family name underneath Ishgard's banners, his title would be renewed but he would also fall as becoming a vassal of Lord Rontremont. Bartolomeo was told by House Rontremont in order to restore his family name, he had to slay a dragon shapeshifted as a false miqo'te concubine amongst the seeker "Antelope Tribe". Through a bloody moon Bartolomeo managed to have the dragon slain, eventually resulting in the restoration of House Filangieri, now as an Ishgardian chapter. Alas, due to foreign roots, any in House Filangieri are still not permitted to go beyond Ishgard's gates.<br />
<br />
[[File:CleanCoatFilangieri.png|thumb|right|120px| <span style="color:#000000">Jeridian House Filangieri's sigil.</span>]]<br />
<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">Sigil===<br />
<br />
The sigil of the Jeridian chapter of House Filangieri was that of a black and gold wolf, representing the hard industry that the family once delegated. Bartolomeo however when he had his name restored, changed the sigil to that of a human hand in a pose of benediction. The meaning of such signifies pledge of faith, sincerity, and justice. <br />
<br />
The colors of House Filangieri's coat of arms follows a similar scheme as it has for generations. The black representing constancy, while the gold represents generosity and elevation of mind.<br />
<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">Philosophy===<br />
<br />
House Filangieri's religious beliefs are of course influenced from the Ishgardian Orthodox Church. Those who are infidelious to their oaths, faith, loved ones or lieges - are declared as rivals to House Filangieri. Righteousness and justice are what they seek. If an action makes a mockery of law without a sanctimonious motive, then such culprit can be recognized by the House as an infidel.<br />
<br />
If a member of House Filangieri is declared an infidel, depending on the severity of the crime it can lead to banishment or in extreme cases, death or torture. Fidelity and righteousness is a must beneath the shroud of House Filangieri.<br />
<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">Fiefs===<br />
<br />
House Filangieri presently controls and occupies the fief of Castle Greywall, located within a secluded center of the Coerthas Highlands. It is the current place of residence of Lord Bartolomeo Filangieri.<br />

==<div style="font-size: 20px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">Basic Info ==<br />
<br />
Bartolomeo Filangieri (pronounced /Bar-toll-o-mayo/ /Fee-lan-gie-érie/) is a midlander hyur born from a noble family in the Kingdom of Jeridia, an island in the middle of the Rhotano Sea. His nameday is on the 16th Sun of 6th Astral Moon.<br />
<br />
At a young age Bartolomeo was inducted in a knightly order dedicated in eradicating miqo'te tribes that harrassed the Jeridian locals. Informally, those in the order were known as "Coeurlslayers" due to their specialty in dealing with the local tribes.<br />
<br />
After a civil war in his nation, the order Bartolomeo served in collapsed after the result of its Grandmaster being executed. The knights and Bartolomeo were imprisoned and considered as war criminals of the entire realm. <br />
<br />
After heavy convincing from his surviving uncle, the new Doge of Jeridia decided to spare Bartolomeo a lifetime in an oubliette and therefore exiled him from the realm, sending him forth to Eorzea to start his life anew. <br />
<br />
With time Bartolomeo settled in the metropolis of Ul'dah and through new contacts managed to get referred into the Sultansworn. Due to his sanctimonious nature, Bartolomeo eventually broke off with the Sultansworn and became an independant knight.<br />
<br />
As time passed, Bartolomeo eventually proved himself to an Ishgardian noble family and had his family House restored but under the Holy See's delegation.<br />
<br />
==<div style="font-size: 20px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">Appearance and Character==<br />
<br />
For a midlander, Bartolomeo can be described as strapping, tall, and broad shouldered. He is described as being particularly attractive, a trait that was found common in his family. Bartolomeo has gold, penetrating eyes that at times can make one wary during moments of silence. His head holds a properly groomed brown hair which often smells of fresh ointments. His face is always cleanly shaved on a daily basis, making the touch to his skin to be relatively smooth. He has hollow cheeks, dark circles beneath his eyes and thin lips.<br />
<br />
Bartolomeo is a serious, calm, stubborn and bold man. He believes in honoring the legacy of his family rather than discriminate against it as the new nobles of the Jeridian republic do. He believes in justice and being fidelious with his oaths when he can, he will not punish a man if he believes him to be innocent. <br />
<br />
Having spent most of his live in Jeridia fighting against miqo'te clans, Bartolomeo holds a distaste and wariness towards miqo'tes he meets, even more so if they are tribal. The man also holds a great distaste towards Eorzean and Garlean customs, although he remains subtle about his views unless speaking in more subtle environments.<br />

<br />
<span class="mw-headline">''Most of Bartolomeo's family members were killed by the civil war that occurred in Jeridia, some might have survived the onslaught, but at the present Bartolomeo is the only known surviving member of House Filangieri.''</span><br />
<br />
:<span class="mw-headline">'''[[Francesco Filangieri]] (Father, deceased)&nbsp;''': Francesco hosted the most financially providing slave trade in the market of Jeridia. What was done to the slaves are often mystery, but when people used to question the man on the matter, he'd inform them to refer to them as servants rather than slaves. He allowed the masters of these miqo'te slaves to treat them under their jurisdictions, aslong as it did not "violate" Jeridian laws. The man was known in the Kingdom as an influential merchant, and at times aristocrat. Bartolomeo and his father however never managed to meet eye-to-eye, mainly because Francesco disregarded Bartolomeo as the chosen heir to House Filangieri was his older brother, Lorenzo. Once Bartolomeo served Manfredi's knightly order, Francesco stripped all titles from Bartolomeo but kept him in his court. Francesco perished during House Tavelli's civil war, when an angry mob of nobles stabbed him and his oldest son Lorenzo in the middle of the streets.</span><br/><br />
<br />
:<span class="mw-headline">'''[[Iolanda Acquarone]] (Mother, deceased)&nbsp;:''' Despite his father's negligence, Iolanda did not mind Bartolomeo's presence, and often gave him counsel for anything he needed. His mannerisms and acts of behaving like a "gentleman" or dressing formally were received by Iolanda. Although Bartolomeo never witnessed his mother's death, the family manor was barricaded and burnt to the ground while she still remained within it.</span><br/><br />
<br />
:<span class="mw-headline">'''[[Lorenzo Filangieri]] (Brother, deceased)&nbsp;:''' House Filangieri's future head was to be Lorenzo. Despite being arrogant, Lorenzo held great respect for his younger brother and did not hesitate to stand up for him if the event needed it so. Lorenzo was slain alongside his father during Giovanni's civil war.</span><br/><br />
<br />
:<span class="mw-headline">'''[[Giulio Filangieri]] (Uncle, deceased)&nbsp;: '''After the civil war ended, Giulio was the only survivor of House Filangieri that remained in Jeridia with few discrimination. When Bartolomeo was banished and began to reside in Ul'dah, Giulio communicated with him through letters to understand where his life had been taking him. With time Giulio told Bartolomeo that the Doge of Jeridia wished to seek audience and reinstate Bartolomeo's status as a noble. Although Bartolomeo ventured into Jeridia and refused to take part in nobility, Giulio had to plot his way to reclaiming his family's previous status. After Bartolomeo returned to Eorzea, Giulio started to fabricate claims which was shortly noticed by the Doge. The old man, had to escape the island and eventually get in touch with Bartolomeo in the middle of Thanalan. The meeting resulted in a bloodbath after the Doge's cousin, Ludovico Tavelli, emerged with armed forces. Siha Xinkei, who was Bartolomeo's friend at the time, was present in the meeting and eventual combat and while she was nearly overwhelmed. Giulio managed to spare Siha a gruesome fate as he charged in and, unfortunately got killed in her place.</span><br/><br />

Shortly after, the pair met again and ventured out together to talk outside Ul'dah's walls. Still did the woman resume her lewdness, the man grew to take a liking in her, falling under her wave of charm and alluring nature. He accompanied her while he went off towards his campaign for House Rontremont in the Black Shroud. Through petty arguments and personal conversations, the man grew to fancy the woman even further, eventually the two began to hold a highly intimate relationship. After his reward in winning against the Dravanian infiltrator in the Antelope Tribe, Bartolomeo ventured back to Ul'dah in the most subtle of manners to smuggle the young woman to Castle Greywall with him, declaring his love for her officially.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Askier Mergrey]] : Once known as a terrorist in Ul'dah, while his beloved was held as a hostage by Garleans, the miqo'te managed to gain Bartolomeo's approval as he rescued the man while a band of assassins nearly ended his life. Furthermore, he did so out of kindness, thus proving that tales of his callousness are somewhat exaggerated.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Kale Aideron]] : A soldier of Ul'dah who works with the Brass Blades and the Syndicate. The man first met Bartolomeo in the Grindstone tournament during his time as a free paladin.

The man has not met Kale in awhile, but prays to do so in the near future.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Seiletta Rougefeather]] : The elezen Seiletta is one that had encountered Bartolomeo throughout several situations, since his time in Ul'dah and his various trips towards Gridannia.

With time, the two met again once Bartolomeo became an Ishgardian nobleman.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Xydane Vale]] : Xydane met Bartolomeo during his battle against a dragon in the Black Shroud. His timely appearance certified the favor of the battle to go towards Bartolomeo's end. Bartolomeo and Xydane both were heading towards the direction of Coerthas and during their voyage both shared stories of their past. Intrigued and impressed, Xydane is one of the few that Bartolomeo knows that can be relied upon.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> [[Anelia Sadowyn]] : Anelia was one of the first paladins Bartolomeo had ever set eyes upon in Ul'dah, in reality he was the first ally he held dearly until he departed from Arcadeus. Upon reuniting Anelia offered to refer Bartolomeo into the Sultansworn to undertake its trials. Bartolomeo throughout his later encounters of her ended up assisting her against a monetarist plot in Western Thanalan. Once Bartolomeo left the Sultansworn however, Anelia and Bartolomeo's idealisms clashed, causing a sour taste to emerge Bartolomeo's mouth. Ever since, the two have not spoken.<br />

A strong disagreement between Bartolomeo and a crimelord, who was also Siha's friend at the time ensued. The two met each other again a few moons later, this time on better terms, but Bartolomeo still believes that they will forever hold conflicting sets of beliefs.<br />

<br />
: <font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> [[Jancis Milburga]] : The most gentle of ladies that Bartolomeo has ever settled eyes on, her desire to aid when the two used to encounter one another brought a sense of warmth to Bartolomeo's heart.

<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">1549 - 1567===<br />
<br />
Bartolomeo's life began in his family's villa deep within the capital of the Kingdom of Jeridia, an island based in the Rhotano sea. He was the youngest child of Lord Francesco Filangieri and Iolanda Acquarone. His family was highly regarded and generated a high level of influence within the nobility and the crown of Jeridia. House Filangieri's wealth came from the constant exportation of fish and resources, but most of its profit came from the ever dominant slave market that was permitted in the entire island. All of the slaves caught or sold consisted of miqo'tes tribesmen or woman that were found outside of the city's walls. This fortune made Francesco Filangieri highly renowned and decorated throughout Jeridia.<br />
<br />
Francesco determined that the heir to House Filangieri was to be Bartolomeo's older brother, Lorenzo. Thus, Lorenzo was tutored by his father to follow his path. Francesco neglected Bartolomeo, making him carve another path that was different from the rest of his family.<br />
<br />
Noticing Bartolomeo's passion in old tales of knights and chivalry, Francesco had the Grandmaster of the Knights of Jeridia take forth Bartolomeo and mentor him. The old Grandmaster accepted and taught the boy the chivalric code, the Twelve and from there made the young Bartolomeo develop a strong zeal for his culture and beliefs. <br />
<br />
Once reaching the age of 12, Manfredi brought Bartolomeo as his squire. With aiding the Grandmaster with various meager tasks, he was rewarded with sword fighting technique and useful advices in the arts of warfare.<br />
<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">1567 - 1574===<br />
<br />
Once Bartolomeo reached the age of 16, Manfredi finally declared that the young squire was old enough to officially become a knight and member of the order. It was then where his training came to good use but also new techniques and tricks were to be learned, as the knights specialized against repelling pirates but mostly dealt against miqo'te tribesmen that were present beyond the city walls. <br />
<br />
The knights in the order were trained to overcome the odds against a fearsome and outnumbering fighting force of tribals that could always besiege the city. Due to their specialty in fighting against miqo'tes, the people in Jeridia informally refered these knights as "Coeurlslayers", due to the similar ears and tails that both the miqo'te and coeurl have.<br />
<br />
Tensions finally began to grow thicker between the tribals and the kingdom of Jeridia. King Pandolfo the 'Careless' held interest to finally expand his realm by eliminating the nearby tribes. The King officially declared war after a group of Jeridian merchants were seen gruesomely murdered outside the city by a mob of tribals.<br />
<br />
Manfredi and his knightly order were dispatched outside the city. For the entirety of his young adulthood, Bartolomeo had to soak his blade with the blood of miqo'te in order to place his efforts for the order and the war. The order had to sack camps, various tribal settlements that were present throughout the island and win overwhelming battles in the middle of a tropical forest. By the end of the whole war, the population of miqo'te had dropped almost by fifty percent.<br />
<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">1574 - 1577===<br />
<br />
A year after the war had concluded, new issues began to grow within Jeridia's court. A claim for the throne was brought forth by House Tavelli, and therefore blackmailed to place their leader, Giovanni Tavelli, into power. King Pandolfo, as rentless and careless as he was renowned for, denied the accussations. This started a war in the streets of Jeridia's capital, yet the odds seemed hopeless for Tavelli's end in the beginning.<br />
<br />
Through schemes and conspiracies that had been planned throughout the war, House Tavelli managed to create a chain of uprisings by giving the defeated miqo'te words of hope and freedom. Other noble houses also remained in the midst of the plot for diverse reasons and formerly patriotic houses ended up joining the revolutionaries.<br />
<br />
After a few months the tides had turned, the King's loyalists were outmatched, including the order Bartolomeo was with. Francesco and Lorenzo, Bartolomeo's father and brother, were killed by a mob of nobleman in the streets. His mother Iolanda was barricaded in her own villa and burnt alive. <br />
<br />
Eventually the bloodshed would end with the beheadment of both Manfredi and Pandolfo. Those loyal who survived the carnage were either imprisoned, executed or spared if the price was proper. Bartolomeo was casted into an oubliette and remained trapped in there for a whole cycle.<br />
<br />
By year 1577, Bartolomeo was brought forth to the newly reformed court of the Republic of Jeridia. The monarchy was no longer present as it was now a council that governed Jeridia. The laws had been reformed, slavery was abolished, and the head of the council was known as a Doge. <br />
<br />
Giulio Filangieri, Bartolomeo's uncle, had managed to pay the Doge a ransom to have Bartolomeo liberated from his cell. The only drawback over than payment was to banish Bartolomeo from the realm of Jeridia and to never return...<br />
<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">1577 - Present===<br />
[[File:Bartolomeotier.jpeg|200px|thumb|<span style="color:#000000">Bartolomeo by Tiergan.</span>]]<br />
Ever since his exile, Bartolomeo arrived in Ul'dah, with but a bronze plate that covered his torso and lacked refine. He was brought upon an order known as Arcadeus and encountered Anelia Sadowyn, a paladin of the Sultanate of Ul'dah. Intrigued by Anelia's ideals, the worn and former prisoner recollected plenty of what he previously did under the knighthood of Manfredi's order. Eventually, after a dispute, Bartolomeo left Arcadeus and remained independant. <br />
<br />
His uncle Giulio Filangieri provided Bartolomeo with gil and riches from Jeridia, with little hesitation did he invested on the still devastated knight. Bartolomeo's funding continued until Giulio was branded a traitor of the Jeridian republic and fled to Thanalan to meet with his nephew. When offering Bartolomeo a crate of riches, Ludovico Tavelli and a small group of mercenaries arrived. A battle ensued, Giulio perished in the battle, but as did Ludovico and his men thanks to Bartolomeo's blade. <br />
<br />
Bartolomeo became affiliated to a few free companies and eventually, thanks to the influence of Anelia Sadowyn, managed to become a paladin in the Sultansworn. Eventually such was not his fate, as later events made him distrust Ul'dahn politics entirely. He kept ties with Ul'dah and performed investigations for a shadow organisation that functioned with the Immortal Flames. <br />
<br />
He spoked with an Ishgardian noblewoman throughout his time, and her words brought forth a seed of ambition deep inside Bartolomeo's mind. For months Bartolomeo had been planning in ways to restore House Filangieri, where all of its members were either killed or exiled. Eventually, thanks to the influence of an inquisitor that he had acquainted with, House Rontremont offered to restore his legacy by having him undertake a desperate mission to slay a dragon which was under the form of a miqo'te slave. <br />
<br />
Through days of swift planning Bartolomeo managed to eliminate the dragon, with the help of others. Lord Rontremont was pleased at the result and relieved that Bartolomeo had shown capability in fighting against the Dravinian Horde. As promised, the Lord turned Bartolomeo into his vassal but as well rendered him as Lord and noble. Bartolomeo renounced all allegiance to any other city-state. He swore fealty to House Rontremont and the Holy See, and swore to shift his faith towards that of the Ishgardian Orthodox Church.<br />

No one knows of the predecessors of House Filangieri, other than the two final leaders of the Jeridian nobility, Francesco and Giulio Filangieri, whom both were killed by the rival House Tavelli, back on Jeridia. The Jeridian chapter of House Filangieri was rendered infamous for its power in the slave industry, miqo'te slaves taken from sacked tribal encampments were their main source of income and as well what gave them a dominating presence in the former Kingdom of Jeridia. Eventually, the King's rule was usurped and slavery was rendered a crime, House Filangieri was highly crippled by the end of the war, with Francesco murdered and Giulio left to rule the house alone. Giulio's death only rendered the Jeridian chapter of House Filangieri to extinction.<br />
<br />
Bartolomeo was offered a chance to restore his family name underneath Ishgard's banners, his title would be renewed but he would also fall as becoming a vassal of Lord Rontremont. Bartolomeo was told by House Rontremont in order to restore his family name, he had to slay a dragon shapeshifted as a false miqo'te concubine amongst the seeker "Antelope Tribe". Through a bloody moon Bartolomeo managed to have the dragon slain, eventually resulting in the restoration of House Filangieri, now as an Ishgardian chapter. Alas, due to foreign roots, any in House Filangieri are still not permitted to go beyond Ishgard's gates.<br />

[[File:CleanCoatFilangieri.png|thumb|right|120px| <span style="color:#000000">Jeridian House Filangieri's sigil.</span>]]<br />
<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">Sigil===<br />
<br />
The sigil of the Jeridian chapter of House Filangieri was that of a black and gold wolf, representing the hard industry that the family once delegated. Bartolomeo however when he had his name restored, changed the sigil to that of a human hand in a pose of benediction. The meaning of such signifies pledge of faith, sincerity, and justice. <br />
<br />
The colors of House Filangieri's coat of arms follows a similar scheme as it has for generations. The black representing constancy, while the gold represents generosity and elevation of mind.<br />
<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">Philosophy===<br />
<br />
House Filangieri's religious beliefs are of course influenced from the Ishgardian Orthodox Church. Those who are infidelious to their oaths, faith, loved ones or lieges - are declared as rivals to House Filangieri. Righteousness and justice are what they seek. If an action makes a mockery of law without a sanctimonious motive, then such culprit can be recognized by the House as an infidel.<br />
<br />
If a member of House Filangieri is declared an infidel, depending on the severity of the crime it can lead to banishment or in extreme cases, death or torture. Fidelity and righteousness is a must beneath the shroud of House Filangieri.<br />
<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">Fiefs===<br />
<br />
House Filangieri presently controls and occupies the fief of Castle Greywall, located within a secluded center of the Coerthas Highlands. It is the current place of residence of Lord Bartolomeo Filangieri.<br />

==<div style="font-size: 20px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">Basic Info ==<br />
<br />
Bartolomeo Filangieri (pronounced /Bar-toll-o-mayo/ /Fee-lan-gie-érie/) is a midlander hyur born from a noble family in the Kingdom of Jeridia, an island in the middle of the Rhotano Sea. His nameday is on the 16th Sun of 6th Astral Moon.<br />
<br />
At a young age Bartolomeo was inducted in a knightly order dedicated in eradicating miqo'te tribes that harrassed the Jeridian locals. Informally, those in the order were known as "Coeurlslayers" due to their specialty in dealing with the local tribes.<br />
<br />
After a civil war in his nation, the order Bartolomeo served in collapsed after the result of its Grandmaster being executed. The knights and Bartolomeo were imprisoned and considered as war criminals of the entire realm. <br />
<br />
After heavy convincing from his surviving uncle, the new Doge of Jeridia decided to spare Bartolomeo a lifetime in an oubliette and therefore exiled him from the realm, sending him forth to Eorzea to start his life anew. <br />
<br />
With time Bartolomeo settled in the metropolis of Ul'dah and through new contacts managed to get referred into the Sultansworn. Due to his sanctimonious nature, Bartolomeo eventually broke off with the Sultansworn and became an independant knight.<br />
<br />
As time passed, Bartolomeo eventually proved himself to an Ishgardian noble family and had his family House restored but under the Holy See's delegation.<br />
<br />
==<div style="font-size: 20px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">Appearance and Character==<br />
<br />
For a midlander, Bartolomeo can be described as strapping, tall, and broad shouldered. He is described as being particularly attractive, a trait that was found common in his family. Bartolomeo has gold, penetrating eyes that at times can make one wary during moments of silence. His head holds a properly groomed brown hair which often smells of fresh ointments. His face is always cleanly shaved on a daily basis, making the touch to his skin to be relatively smooth. He has hollow cheeks, dark circles beneath his eyes and thin lips.<br />
<br />
Bartolomeo is a serious, calm, stubborn and bold man. He believes in honoring the legacy of his family rather than discriminate against it as the new nobles of the Jeridian republic do. He believes in justice and being fidelious with his oaths when he can, he will not punish a man if he believes him to be innocent. <br />
<br />
Having spent most of his live in Jeridia fighting against miqo'te clans, Bartolomeo holds a distaste and wariness towards miqo'tes he meets, even more so if they are tribal. The man also holds a great distaste towards Eorzean and Garlean customs, although he remains subtle about his views unless speaking in more subtle environments.<br />

<br />
<span class="mw-headline">''Most of Bartolomeo's family members were killed by the civil war that occurred in Jeridia, some might have survived the onslaught, but at the present Bartolomeo is the only known surviving member of House Filangieri.''</span><br />
<br />
:<span class="mw-headline">'''[[Francesco Filangieri]] (Father, deceased)&nbsp;''': Francesco hosted the most financially providing slave trade in the market of Jeridia. What was done to the slaves are often mystery, but when people used to question the man on the matter, he'd inform them to refer to them as servants rather than slaves. He allowed the masters of these miqo'te slaves to treat them under their jurisdictions, aslong as it did not "violate" Jeridian laws. The man was known in the Kingdom as an influential merchant, and at times aristocrat. Bartolomeo and his father however never managed to meet eye-to-eye, mainly because Francesco disregarded Bartolomeo as the chosen heir to House Filangieri was his older brother, Lorenzo. Once Bartolomeo served Manfredi's knightly order, Francesco stripped all titles from Bartolomeo but kept him in his court. Francesco perished during House Tavelli's civil war, when an angry mob of nobles stabbed him and his oldest son Lorenzo in the middle of the streets.</span><br/><br />
<br />
:<span class="mw-headline">'''[[Iolanda Acquarone]] (Mother, deceased)&nbsp;:''' Despite his father's negligence, Iolanda did not mind Bartolomeo's presence, and often gave him counsel for anything he needed. His mannerisms and acts of behaving like a "gentleman" or dressing formally were received by Iolanda. Although Bartolomeo never witnessed his mother's death, the family manor was barricaded and burnt to the ground while she still remained within it.</span><br/><br />
<br />
:<span class="mw-headline">'''[[Lorenzo Filangieri]] (Brother, deceased)&nbsp;:''' House Filangieri's future head was to be Lorenzo. Despite being arrogant, Lorenzo held great respect for his younger brother and did not hesitate to stand up for him if the event needed it so. Lorenzo was slain alongside his father during Giovanni's civil war.</span><br/><br />
<br />
:<span class="mw-headline">'''[[Giulio Filangieri]] (Uncle, deceased)&nbsp;: '''After the civil war ended, Giulio was the only survivor of House Filangieri that remained in Jeridia with few discrimination. When Bartolomeo was banished and began to reside in Ul'dah, Giulio communicated with him through letters to understand where his life had been taking him. With time Giulio told Bartolomeo that the Doge of Jeridia wished to seek audience and reinstate Bartolomeo's status as a noble. Although Bartolomeo ventured into Jeridia and refused to take part in nobility, Giulio had to plot his way to reclaiming his family's previous status. After Bartolomeo returned to Eorzea, Giulio started to fabricate claims which was shortly noticed by the Doge. The old man, had to escape the island and eventually get in touch with Bartolomeo in the middle of Thanalan. The meeting resulted in a bloodbath after the Doge's cousin, Ludovico Tavelli, emerged with armed forces. Siha Xinkei, who was Bartolomeo's friend at the time, was present in the meeting and eventual combat and while she was nearly overwhelmed. Giulio managed to spare Siha a gruesome fate as he charged in and, unfortunately got killed in her place.</span><br/><br />

<br />
: <font style="color:#F02311;" size="3">♥</font> [[Tietra Mynhier]] : Erik Mynhier's lost sister met Bartolomeo within a ceremony that occured within the Red Wings' headquarters, barely before meeting one another, the woman rewarded Bartolomeo with various lewd remarks about his posterior. Shortly after, the pair met again and ventured out together to talk outside Ul'dah's walls. Still did the woman resume her lewdness, the man grew to take a liking in her, falling under her wave of charm and alluring nature. He accompanied her while he went off towards his campaign for House Rontremont in the Black Shroud. Through petty arguments and personal conversations, the man grew to fancy the woman even further, eventually the two began to hold a highly intimate relationship. After his reward in winning against the Dravanian infiltrator in the Antelope Tribe, Bartolomeo ventured back to Ul'dah in the most subtle of manners to smuggle the young woman to Castle Greywall with him, declaring his love for her officially.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Askier Mergrey]] : Once known as a terrorist in Ul'dah, while his beloved was held as a hostage by Garleans, the miqo'te managed to gain Bartolomeo's approval as he rescued the man while a band of assassins nearly ended his life. Furthermore, he did so out of kindness, thus proving that tales of his callousness are somewhat exaggerated.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Kale Aideron]] : A soldier of Ul'dah who works with the Brass Blades and the Syndicate. The man first met Bartolomeo in the Grindstone tournament during his time as a free paladin. The two befriended one another as they did not hesitate to watch each other's backs during a conflict in the Quicksand. The man has not met Kale in awhile, but prays to do so in the near future.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Seiletta Rougefeather]] : The elezen Seiletta is one that had encountered Bartolomeo throughout several situations, since his time in Ul'dah and his various trips towards Gridannia. The elezen once aided Bartolomeo in dealing against a group of Ishgardian knights who found the former paladin's presence to be entirely suspicious. With time, the two met again once Bartolomeo became an Ishgardian nobleman.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Xydane Vale]] : Xydane met Bartolomeo during his battle against a dragon in the Black Shroud. His timely appearance certified the favor of the battle to go towards Bartolomeo's end. Bartolomeo and Xydane both were heading towards the direction of Coerthas and during their voyage both shared stories of their past. Intrigued and impressed, Xydane is one of the few that Bartolomeo knows that can be relied upon.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> [[Anelia Sadowyn]] : Anelia was one of the first paladins Bartolomeo had ever set eyes upon in Ul'dah, in reality he was the first ally he held dearly until he departed from Arcadeus. Upon reuniting Anelia offered to refer Bartolomeo into the Sultansworn to undertake its trials. Bartolomeo throughout his later encounters of her ended up assisting her against a monetarist plot in Western Thanalan. Once Bartolomeo left the Sultansworn however, Anelia and Bartolomeo's idealisms clashed, causing a sour taste to emerge Bartolomeo's mouth. Ever since, the two have not spoken.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> [[Siha Xinkei]] : Siha and Bartolomeo met first in Arcadeus, and ever since became close friends throughout his earlier days in Eorzea. The pair were growing close, but eventually their friendship was tarnished while Bartolomeo undertook a mission for the Sultansworn to retrieve a stolen tome. A strong disagreement between Bartolomeo and a crimelord, who was also Siha's friend at the time ensued. The two met each other again a few moons later, this time on better terms, but Bartolomeo still believes that they will forever hold conflicting sets of beliefs.<br />

: <font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> [[Bell Ebonwing]] : Bartolomeo's first lover, a miqo'te keeper, raised in the streets of Ul'dah. Bartolomeo's first "mating" was with Bell, a revolutionary act in the former virgin's history. Due to dire circumstances in Ul'dah, the two did not stay with one another. Since their seperation, Bartolomeo shows inability in speaking to her without demonstrating disregard.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> [[Coatleque Crofte]] : The most loyal knight he has met in Eorzea thus far. The two hold differing beliefs and since his departure from the Sultansworn the two have been forever distant from one another. Due to her young age, Bartolomeo doesn't believe that Coatleque carries enough wisdom or if any on that regards.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> [[Jancis Milburga]] : The most gentle of ladies that Bartolomeo has ever settled eyes on, her desire to aid when the two used to encounter one another brought a sense of warmth to Bartolomeo's heart. Alas, her desire to help others, even those who are unjust, had once made Bartolomeo concerned of her good health.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> [[Rivienne Delacroux]] : Bartolomeo encountered Rivienne during a voyage around the Black Shroud. Bartolomeo remains wary of the woodlander's motives and feels uncomfortable when she is present. Rivienne's preference of the wilds over the city brought forth a great deal of inquiries from Bartolomeo. The man would not neglect the fact that the woman carries an exotic charm and beauty that can smite a person deeply.<br />

<br />
Bartolomeo's life began in his family's villa deep within the capital of the Kingdom of Jeridia, an island based in the Rhotano sea. He was the youngest child of Lord Francesco Filangieri and Iolanda Acquarone. His family was highly regarded and generated a high level of influence within the nobility and the crown of Jeridia. House Filangieri's wealth came from the constant exportation of fish and resources, but most of its profit came from the ever dominant slave market that was permitted in the entire island. All of the slaves caught or sold consisted of miqo'tes tribesmen or woman that were found outside of the city's walls. This fortune made Francesco Filangieri highly renowned and decorated throughout Jeridia.<br />
<br />
Francesco determined that the heir to House Filangieri was to be Bartolomeo's older brother, Lorenzo. Thus, Lorenzo was tutored by his father to follow his path. Francesco neglected Bartolomeo, making him carve another path that was different from the rest of his family.<br />
<br />
Noticing Bartolomeo's passion in old tales of knights and chivalry, Francesco had the Grandmaster of the Knights of Jeridia take forth Bartolomeo and mentor him. The old Grandmaster accepted and taught the boy the chivalric code, the Twelve and from there made the young Bartolomeo develop a strong zeal for his culture and beliefs. <br />
<br />
Once reaching the age of 12, Manfredi brought Bartolomeo as his squire. With aiding the Grandmaster with various meager tasks, he was rewarded with sword fighting technique and useful advices in the arts of warfare.<br />
<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">1567 - 1574===<br />
<br />
Once Bartolomeo reached the age of 16, Manfredi finally declared that the young squire was old enough to officially become a knight and member of the order. It was then where his training came to good use but also new techniques and tricks were to be learned, as the knights specialized against repelling pirates but mostly dealt against miqo'te tribesmen that were present beyond the city walls. <br />
<br />
The knights in the order were trained to overcome the odds against a fearsome and outnumbering fighting force of tribals that could always besiege the city. Due to their specialty in fighting against miqo'tes, the people in Jeridia informally refered these knights as "Coeurlslayers", due to the similar ears and tails that both the miqo'te and coeurl have.<br />
<br />
Tensions finally began to grow thicker between the tribals and the kingdom of Jeridia. King Pandolfo the 'Careless' held interest to finally expand his realm by eliminating the nearby tribes. The King officially declared war after a group of Jeridian merchants were seen gruesomely murdered outside the city by a mob of tribals.<br />
<br />
Manfredi and his knightly order were dispatched outside the city. For the entirety of his young adulthood, Bartolomeo had to soak his blade with the blood of miqo'te in order to place his efforts for the order and the war. The order had to sack camps, various tribal settlements that were present throughout the island and win overwhelming battles in the middle of a tropical forest. By the end of the whole war, the population of miqo'te had dropped almost by fifty percent.<br />
<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">1574 - 1577===<br />
<br />
A year after the war had concluded, new issues began to grow within Jeridia's court. A claim for the throne was brought forth by House Tavelli, and therefore blackmailed to place their leader, Giovanni Tavelli, into power. King Pandolfo, as rentless and careless as he was renowned for, denied the accussations. This started a war in the streets of Jeridia's capital, yet the odds seemed hopeless for Tavelli's end in the beginning.<br />
<br />
Through schemes and conspiracies that had been planned throughout the war, House Tavelli managed to create a chain of uprisings by giving the defeated miqo'te words of hope and freedom. Other noble houses also remained in the midst of the plot for diverse reasons and formerly patriotic houses ended up joining the revolutionaries.<br />
<br />
After a few months the tides had turned, the King's loyalists were outmatched, including the order Bartolomeo was with. Francesco and Lorenzo, Bartolomeo's father and brother, were killed by a mob of nobleman in the streets. His mother Iolanda was barricaded in her own villa and burnt alive. <br />
<br />
Eventually the bloodshed would end with the beheadment of both Manfredi and Pandolfo. Those loyal who survived the carnage were either imprisoned, executed or spared if the price was proper. Bartolomeo was casted into an oubliette and remained trapped in there for a whole cycle.<br />
<br />
By year 1577, Bartolomeo was brought forth to the newly reformed court of the Republic of Jeridia. The monarchy was no longer present as it was now a council that governed Jeridia. The laws had been reformed, slavery was abolished, and the head of the council was known as a Doge. <br />
<br />
Giulio Filangieri, Bartolomeo's uncle, had managed to pay the Doge a ransom to have Bartolomeo liberated from his cell. The only drawback over than payment was to banish Bartolomeo from the realm of Jeridia and to never return...<br />
<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">1577 - Present===<br />
[[File:Bartolomeotier.jpeg|200px|thumb|<span style="color:#000000">Bartolomeo by Tiergan.</span>]]<br />
Ever since his exile, Bartolomeo arrived in Ul'dah, with but a bronze plate that covered his torso and lacked refine. He was brought upon an order known as Arcadeus and encountered Anelia Sadowyn, a paladin of the Sultanate of Ul'dah. Intrigued by Anelia's ideals, the worn and former prisoner recollected plenty of what he previously did under the knighthood of Manfredi's order. Eventually, after a dispute, Bartolomeo left Arcadeus and remained independant. <br />
<br />
His uncle Giulio Filangieri provided Bartolomeo with gil and riches from Jeridia, with little hesitation did he invested on the still devastated knight. Bartolomeo's funding continued until Giulio was branded a traitor of the Jeridian republic and fled to Thanalan to meet with his nephew. When offering Bartolomeo a crate of riches, Ludovico Tavelli and a small group of mercenaries arrived. A battle ensued, Giulio perished in the battle, but as did Ludovico and his men thanks to Bartolomeo's blade. <br />
<br />
Bartolomeo became affiliated to a few free companies and eventually, thanks to the influence of Anelia Sadowyn, managed to become a paladin in the Sultansworn. Eventually such was not his fate, as later events made him distrust Ul'dahn politics entirely. He kept ties with Ul'dah and performed investigations for a shadow organisation that functioned with the Immortal Flames. <br />
<br />
He spoked with an Ishgardian noblewoman throughout his time, and her words brought forth a seed of ambition deep inside Bartolomeo's mind. For months Bartolomeo had been planning in ways to restore House Filangieri, where all of its members were either killed or exiled. Eventually, thanks to the influence of an inquisitor that he had acquainted with, House Rontremont offered to restore his legacy by having him undertake a desperate mission to slay a dragon which was under the form of a miqo'te slave. <br />
<br />
Through days of swift planning Bartolomeo managed to eliminate the dragon, with the help of others. Lord Rontremont was pleased at the result and relieved that Bartolomeo had shown capability in fighting against the Dravinian Horde. As promised, the Lord turned Bartolomeo into his vassal but as well rendered him as Lord and noble. Bartolomeo renounced all allegiance to any other city-state. He swore fealty to House Rontremont and the Holy See, and swore to shift his faith towards that of the Ishgardian Orthodox Church.<br />

<big>''"With Sanctimony and Fidelity" <br><small>~Family motto since the foundation of the Ishgardian chapter</small>''</big><br />
</center><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
House Filangieri, its foundations date back throughout lost history where midlander clans conquered the eastern coast of the Jeridian island and then to when the Kingdom was born. No one knows of the predecessors of House Filangieri, other than the two final leaders of the Jeridian nobility, Francesco and Giulio Filangieri, whom both were killed by the rival House Tavelli, back on Jeridia. The Jeridian chapter of House Filangieri was rendered infamous for its power in the slave industry, miqo'te slaves taken from sacked tribal encampments were their main source of income and as well what gave them a dominating presence in the former Kingdom of Jeridia. Eventually, the King's rule was usurped and slavery was rendered a crime, House Filangieri was highly crippled by the end of the war, with Francesco murdered and Giulio left to rule the house alone. Giulio's death only rendered the Jeridian chapter of House Filangieri to extinction.<br />
<br />
Bartolomeo was offered a chance to restore his family name underneath Ishgard's banners, his title would be renewed but he would also fall as becoming a vassal of Lord Rontremont. Bartolomeo was told by House Rontremont in order to restore his family name, he had to slay a dragon shapeshifted as a false miqo'te concubine amongst the seeker "Antelope Tribe". Through a bloody moon Bartolomeo managed to have the dragon slain, eventually resulting in the restoration of House Filangieri, now as an Ishgardian chapter. Alas, due to foreign roots, any in House Filangieri are still not permitted to go beyond Ishgard's gates.<br />
<br />
[[File:CleanCoatFilangieri.png|thumb|right|120px| <span style="color:#000000">Jeridian House Filangieri's sigil.</span>]]<br />
<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">Sigil===<br />
<br />
The sigil of the Jeridian chapter of House Filangieri was that of a black and gold wolf, representing the hard industry that the family once delegated. Bartolomeo however when he had his name restored, changed the sigil to that of a human hand in a pose of benediction. The meaning of such signifies pledge of faith, sincerity, and justice. <br />
<br />
The colors of House Filangieri's coat of arms follows a similar scheme as it has for generations. The black representing constancy, while the gold represents generosity and elevation of mind.<br />
<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">Philosophy===<br />
<br />
House Filangieri's religious beliefs are of course influenced from the Ishgardian Orthodox Church. Those who are infidelious to their oaths, faith, loved ones or lieges - are declared as rivals to House Filangieri. Righteousness and justice are what they seek. If an action makes a mockery of law without a sanctimonious motive, then such culprit can be recognized by the House as an infidel.<br />
<br />
If a member of House Filangieri is declared an infidel, depending on the severity of the crime it can lead to banishment or in extreme cases, death or torture. Fidelity and righteousness is a must beneath the shroud of House Filangieri.<br />
<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">Fiefs===<br />
<br />
House Filangieri presently controls and occupies the fief of Castle Greywall, located within a secluded center of the Coerthas Highlands. It is the current place of residence of Lord Bartolomeo Filangieri.<br />

==<div style="font-size: 20px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">Basic Info ==<br />
<br />
Bartolomeo Filangieri (pronounced /Bar-toll-o-mayo/ /Fee-lan-gie-érie/) is a midlander hyur born from a noble family in the Kingdom of Jeridia, an island in the middle of the Rhotano Sea. His nameday is on the 16th Sun of 6th Astral Moon.<br />
<br />
At a young age Bartolomeo was inducted in a knightly order dedicated in eradicating miqo'te tribes that harrassed the Jeridian locals. Informally, those in the order were known as "Coeurlslayers" due to their specialty in dealing with the local tribes.<br />
<br />
After a civil war in his nation, the order Bartolomeo served in collapsed after the result of its Grandmaster being executed. The knights and Bartolomeo were imprisoned and considered as war criminals of the entire realm. <br />
<br />
After heavy convincing from his surviving uncle, the new Doge of Jeridia decided to spare Bartolomeo a lifetime in an oubliette and therefore exiled him from the realm, sending him forth to Eorzea to start his life anew. <br />
<br />
With time Bartolomeo settled in the metropolis of Ul'dah and through new contacts managed to get referred into the Sultansworn. Due to his sanctimonious nature, Bartolomeo eventually broke off with the Sultansworn and became an independant knight.<br />
<br />
As time passed, Bartolomeo eventually proved himself to an Ishgardian noble family and had his family House restored but under the Holy See's delegation.<br />
<br />
==<div style="font-size: 20px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">Appearance and Character==<br />
<br />
For a midlander, Bartolomeo can be described as strapping, tall, and broad shouldered. He is described as being particularly attractive, a trait that was found common in his family. Bartolomeo has gold, penetrating eyes that at times can make one wary during moments of silence. His head holds a properly groomed brown hair which often smells of fresh ointments. His face is always cleanly shaved on a daily basis, making the touch to his skin to be relatively smooth. He has hollow cheeks, dark circles beneath his eyes and thin lips.<br />
<br />
Bartolomeo is a serious, calm, stubborn and bold man. He believes in honoring the legacy of his family rather than discriminate against it as the new nobles of the Jeridian republic do. He believes in justice and being fidelious with his oaths when he can, he will not punish a man if he believes him to be innocent. <br />
<br />
Having spent most of his live in Jeridia fighting against miqo'te clans, Bartolomeo holds a distaste and wariness towards miqo'tes he meets, even more so if they are tribal. The man also holds a great distaste towards Eorzean and Garlean customs, although he remains subtle about his views unless speaking in more subtle environments.<br />

<span class="mw-headline">''Most of Bartolomeo's family members were killed by the civil war that occurred in Jeridia, some might have survived the onslaught, but at the present Bartolomeo is the only known surviving member of House Filangieri.''</span><br />
<br />
:<span class="mw-headline">'''[[Francesco Filangieri]] (Father, deceased)&nbsp;''': Francesco hosted the most financially providing slave trade in the market of Jeridia. What was done to the slaves are often mystery, but when people used to question the man on the matter, he'd inform them to refer to them as servants rather than slaves. He allowed the masters of these miqo'te slaves to treat them under their jurisdictions, aslong as it did not "violate" Jeridian laws. The man was known in the Kingdom as an influential merchant, and at times aristocrat. Bartolomeo and his father however never managed to meet eye-to-eye, mainly because Francesco disregarded Bartolomeo as the chosen heir to House Filangieri was his older brother, Lorenzo. Once Bartolomeo served Manfredi's knightly order, Francesco stripped all titles from Bartolomeo but kept him in his court. Francesco perished during House Tavelli's civil war, when an angry mob of nobles stabbed him and his oldest son Lorenzo in the middle of the streets.</span><br/><br />
<br />
:<span class="mw-headline">'''[[Iolanda Acquarone]] (Mother, deceased)&nbsp;:''' Despite his father's negligence, Iolanda did not mind Bartolomeo's presence, and often gave him counsel for anything he needed. His mannerisms and acts of behaving like a "gentleman" or dressing formally were received by Iolanda. Although Bartolomeo never witnessed his mother's death, the family manor was barricaded and burnt to the ground while she still remained within it.</span><br/><br />
<br />
:<span class="mw-headline">'''[[Lorenzo Filangieri]] (Brother, deceased)&nbsp;:''' House Filangieri's future head was to be Lorenzo. Despite being arrogant, Lorenzo held great respect for his younger brother and did not hesitate to stand up for him if the event needed it so. Lorenzo was slain alongside his father during Giovanni's civil war.</span><br/><br />
<br />
:<span class="mw-headline">'''[[Giulio Filangieri]] (Uncle, deceased)&nbsp;: '''After the civil war ended, Giulio was the only survivor of House Filangieri that remained in Jeridia with few discrimination. When Bartolomeo was banished and began to reside in Ul'dah, Giulio communicated with him through letters to understand where his life had been taking him. With time Giulio told Bartolomeo that the Doge of Jeridia wished to seek audience and reinstate Bartolomeo's status as a noble. Although Bartolomeo ventured into Jeridia and refused to take part in nobility, Giulio had to plot his way to reclaiming his family's previous status. After Bartolomeo returned to Eorzea, Giulio started to fabricate claims which was shortly noticed by the Doge. The old man, had to escape the island and eventually get in touch with Bartolomeo in the middle of Thanalan. The meeting resulted in a bloodbath after the Doge's cousin, Ludovico Tavelli, emerged with armed forces. Siha Xinkei, who was Bartolomeo's friend at the time, was present in the meeting and eventual combat and while she was nearly overwhelmed. Giulio managed to spare Siha a gruesome fate as he charged in and, unfortunately got killed in her place.</span><br/><br />

: <font style="color:#F02311;" size="3">♥</font> [[Tietra Mynhier]] : Erik Mynhier's lost sister met Bartolomeo within a ceremony that occured within the Red Wings' headquarters, barely before meeting one another, the woman rewarded Bartolomeo with various lewd remarks about his posterior. Shortly after, the pair met again and ventured out together to talk outside Ul'dah's walls. Still did the woman resume her lewdness, the man grew to take a liking in her, falling under her wave of charm and alluring nature. He accompanied her while he went off towards his campaign for House Rontremont in the Black Shroud. Through petty arguments and personal conversations, the man grew to fancy the woman even further, eventually the two began to hold a highly intimate relationship. After his reward in winning against the Dravanian infiltrator in the Antelope Tribe, Bartolomeo ventured back to Ul'dah in the most subtle of manners to smuggle the young woman to Castle Greywall with him, declaring his love for her officially.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Askier Mergrey]] : Once known as a terrorist in Ul'dah, while his beloved was held as a hostage by Garleans, the miqo'te managed to gain Bartolomeo's approval as he rescued the man while a band of assassins nearly ended his life. Furthermore, he did so out of kindness, thus proving that tales of his callousness are somewhat exaggerated.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Kale Aideron]] : A soldier of Ul'dah who works with the Brass Blades and the Syndicate. The man first met Bartolomeo in the Grindstone tournament during his time as a free paladin. The two befriended one another as they did not hesitate to watch each other's backs during a conflict in the Quicksand. The man has not met Kale in awhile, but prays to do so in the near future.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Seiletta Rougefeather]] : The elezen Seiletta is one that had encountered Bartolomeo throughout several situations, since his time in Ul'dah and his various trips towards Gridannia. The elezen once aided Bartolomeo in dealing against a group of Ishgardian knights who found the former paladin's presence to be entirely suspicious. With time, the two met again once Bartolomeo became an Ishgardian nobleman.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Xydane Vale]] : Xydane met Bartolomeo during his battle against a dragon in the Black Shroud. His timely appearance certified the favor of the battle to go towards Bartolomeo's end. Bartolomeo and Xydane both were heading towards the direction of Coerthas and during their voyage both shared stories of their past. Intrigued and impressed, Xydane is one of the few that Bartolomeo knows that can be relied upon.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> [[Anelia Sadowyn]] : Anelia was one of the first paladins Bartolomeo had ever set eyes upon in Ul'dah, in reality he was the first ally he held dearly until he departed from Arcadeus. Upon reuniting Anelia offered to refer Bartolomeo into the Sultansworn to undertake its trials. Bartolomeo throughout his later encounters of her ended up assisting her against a monetarist plot in Western Thanalan. Once Bartolomeo left the Sultansworn however, Anelia and Bartolomeo's idealisms clashed, causing a sour taste to emerge Bartolomeo's mouth. Ever since, the two have not spoken.<br />
<br />

The pair were growing close, but eventually their friendship was tarnished while Bartolomeo undertook a mission for the Sultansworn to retrieve a stolen tome. A strong disagreement between Bartolomeo and a crimelord, who was also Siha's friend at the time ensued. The two met each other again a few moons later, this time on better terms, but Bartolomeo still believes that they will forever hold conflicting sets of beliefs.<br />

Since their seperation, Bartolomeo shows inability in speaking to her without demonstrating disregard.<br />

<br />
: <font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> [[Jancis Milburga]] : The most gentle of ladies that Bartolomeo has ever settled eyes on, her desire to aid when the two used to encounter one another brought a sense of warmth to Bartolomeo's heart.

<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">1549 - 1567===<br />
<br />
Bartolomeo's life began in his family's villa deep within the capital of the Kingdom of Jeridia, an island based in the Rhotano sea. He was the youngest child of Lord Francesco Filangieri and Iolanda Acquarone. His family was highly regarded and generated a high level of influence within the nobility and the crown of Jeridia. House Filangieri's wealth came from the constant exportation of fish and resources, but most of its profit came from the ever dominant slave market that was permitted in the entire island. All of the slaves caught or sold consisted of miqo'tes tribesmen or woman that were found outside of the city's walls. This fortune made Francesco Filangieri highly renowned and decorated throughout Jeridia.<br />
<br />
Francesco determined that the heir to House Filangieri was to be Bartolomeo's older brother, Lorenzo. Thus, Lorenzo was tutored by his father to follow his path. Francesco neglected Bartolomeo, making him carve another path that was different from the rest of his family.<br />
<br />
Noticing Bartolomeo's passion in old tales of knights and chivalry, Francesco had the Grandmaster of the Knights of Jeridia take forth Bartolomeo and mentor him. The old Grandmaster accepted and taught the boy the chivalric code, the Twelve and from there made the young Bartolomeo develop a strong zeal for his culture and beliefs. <br />
<br />
Once reaching the age of 12, Manfredi brought Bartolomeo as his squire. With aiding the Grandmaster with various meager tasks, he was rewarded with sword fighting technique and useful advices in the arts of warfare.<br />
<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">1567 - 1574===<br />
<br />
Once Bartolomeo reached the age of 16, Manfredi finally declared that the young squire was old enough to officially become a knight and member of the order. It was then where his training came to good use but also new techniques and tricks were to be learned, as the knights specialized against repelling pirates but mostly dealt against miqo'te tribesmen that were present beyond the city walls. <br />
<br />
The knights in the order were trained to overcome the odds against a fearsome and outnumbering fighting force of tribals that could always besiege the city. Due to their specialty in fighting against miqo'tes, the people in Jeridia informally refered these knights as "Coeurlslayers", due to the similar ears and tails that both the miqo'te and coeurl have.<br />
<br />
Tensions finally began to grow thicker between the tribals and the kingdom of Jeridia. King Pandolfo the 'Careless' held interest to finally expand his realm by eliminating the nearby tribes. The King officially declared war after a group of Jeridian merchants were seen gruesomely murdered outside the city by a mob of tribals.<br />
<br />
Manfredi and his knightly order were dispatched outside the city. For the entirety of his young adulthood, Bartolomeo had to soak his blade with the blood of miqo'te in order to place his efforts for the order and the war. The order had to sack camps, various tribal settlements that were present throughout the island and win overwhelming battles in the middle of a tropical forest. By the end of the whole war, the population of miqo'te had dropped almost by fifty percent.<br />
<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">1574 - 1577===<br />
<br />
A year after the war had concluded, new issues began to grow within Jeridia's court. A claim for the throne was brought forth by House Tavelli, and therefore blackmailed to place their leader, Giovanni Tavelli, into power. King Pandolfo, as rentless and careless as he was renowned for, denied the accussations. This started a war in the streets of Jeridia's capital, yet the odds seemed hopeless for Tavelli's end in the beginning.<br />
<br />
Through schemes and conspiracies that had been planned throughout the war, House Tavelli managed to create a chain of uprisings by giving the defeated miqo'te words of hope and freedom. Other noble houses also remained in the midst of the plot for diverse reasons and formerly patriotic houses ended up joining the revolutionaries.<br />
<br />
After a few months the tides had turned, the King's loyalists were outmatched, including the order Bartolomeo was with. Francesco and Lorenzo, Bartolomeo's father and brother, were killed by a mob of nobleman in the streets. His mother Iolanda was barricaded in her own villa and burnt alive. <br />
<br />
Eventually the bloodshed would end with the beheadment of both Manfredi and Pandolfo. Those loyal who survived the carnage were either imprisoned, executed or spared if the price was proper. Bartolomeo was casted into an oubliette and remained trapped in there for a whole cycle.<br />
<br />
By year 1577, Bartolomeo was brought forth to the newly reformed court of the Republic of Jeridia. The monarchy was no longer present as it was now a council that governed Jeridia. The laws had been reformed, slavery was abolished, and the head of the council was known as a Doge. <br />
<br />
Giulio Filangieri, Bartolomeo's uncle, had managed to pay the Doge a ransom to have Bartolomeo liberated from his cell. The only drawback over than payment was to banish Bartolomeo from the realm of Jeridia and to never return...<br />
<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">1577 - Present===<br />
[[File:Bartolomeotier.jpeg|200px|thumb|<span style="color:#000000">Bartolomeo by Tiergan.</span>]]<br />
Ever since his exile, Bartolomeo arrived in Ul'dah, with but a bronze plate that covered his torso and lacked refine. He was brought upon an order known as Arcadeus and encountered Anelia Sadowyn, a paladin of the Sultanate of Ul'dah. Intrigued by Anelia's ideals, the worn and former prisoner recollected plenty of what he previously did under the knighthood of Manfredi's order. Eventually, after a dispute, Bartolomeo left Arcadeus and remained independant. <br />
<br />
His uncle Giulio Filangieri provided Bartolomeo with gil and riches from Jeridia, with little hesitation did he invested on the still devastated knight. Bartolomeo's funding continued until Giulio was branded a traitor of the Jeridian republic and fled to Thanalan to meet with his nephew. When offering Bartolomeo a crate of riches, Ludovico Tavelli and a small group of mercenaries arrived. A battle ensued, Giulio perished in the battle, but as did Ludovico and his men thanks to Bartolomeo's blade. <br />
<br />
Bartolomeo became affiliated to a few free companies and eventually, thanks to the influence of Anelia Sadowyn, managed to become a paladin in the Sultansworn. Eventually such was not his fate, as later events made him distrust Ul'dahn politics entirely. He kept ties with Ul'dah and performed investigations for a shadow organisation that functioned with the Immortal Flames. <br />
<br />
He spoked with an Ishgardian noblewoman throughout his time, and her words brought forth a seed of ambition deep inside Bartolomeo's mind. For months Bartolomeo had been planning in ways to restore House Filangieri, where all of its members were either killed or exiled. Eventually, thanks to the influence of an inquisitor that he had acquainted with, House Rontremont offered to restore his legacy by having him undertake a desperate mission to slay a dragon which was under the form of a miqo'te slave. <br />
<br />
Through days of swift planning Bartolomeo managed to eliminate the dragon, with the help of others. Lord Rontremont was pleased at the result and relieved that Bartolomeo had shown capability in fighting against the Dravinian Horde. As promised, the Lord turned Bartolomeo into his vassal but as well rendered him as Lord and noble. Bartolomeo renounced all allegiance to any other city-state. He swore fealty to House Rontremont and the Holy See, and swore to shift his faith towards that of the Ishgardian Orthodox Church.<br />
<br />

<br />
<center>[[File:FilangieriSigil.png|220 px]]<br><br><br />
<big>''"With Sanctimony and Fidelity" <br><small>~Family motto since the foundation of the Ishgardian chapter</small>''</big><br />
</center><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
House Filangieri, its foundations date back throughout lost history where midlander clans conquered the eastern coast of the Jeridian island and then to when the Kingdom was born. No one knows of the predecessors of House Filangieri, other than the two final leaders of the Jeridian nobility, Francesco and Giulio Filangieri, whom both were killed by the rival House Tavelli, back on Jeridia. The Jeridian chapter of House Filangieri was rendered infamous for its power in the slave industry, miqo'te slaves taken from sacked tribal encampments were their main source of income and as well what gave them a dominating presence in the former Kingdom of Jeridia. Eventually, the King's rule was usurped and slavery was rendered a crime, House Filangieri was highly crippled by the end of the war, with Francesco murdered and Giulio left to rule the house alone. Giulio's death only rendered the Jeridian chapter of House Filangieri to extinction.<br />
<br />
Bartolomeo was offered a chance to restore his family name underneath Ishgard's banners, his title would be renewed but he would also fall as becoming a vassal of Lord Rontremont. Bartolomeo was told by House Rontremont in order to restore his family name, he had to slay a dragon shapeshifted as a false miqo'te concubine amongst the seeker "Antelope Tribe". Through a bloody moon Bartolomeo managed to have the dragon slain, eventually resulting in the restoration of House Filangieri, now as an Ishgardian chapter. Alas, due to foreign roots, any in House Filangieri are still not permitted to go beyond Ishgard's gates.<br />
<br />
[[File:CleanCoatFilangieri.png|thumb|right|120px| <span style="color:#000000">Jeridian House Filangieri's sigil.</span>]]<br />
<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">Sigil===<br />
<br />
The sigil of the Jeridian chapter of House Filangieri was that of a black and gold wolf, representing the hard industry that the family once delegated. Bartolomeo however when he had his name restored, changed the sigil to that of a human hand in a pose of benediction. The meaning of such signifies pledge of faith, sincerity, and justice. <br />
<br />
The colors of House Filangieri's coat of arms follows a similar scheme as it has for generations. The black representing constancy, while the gold represents generosity and elevation of mind.<br />
<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">Philosophy===<br />
<br />
House Filangieri's religious beliefs are of course influenced from the Ishgardian Orthodox Church. Those who are infidelious to their oaths, faith, loved ones or lieges - are declared as rivals to House Filangieri. Righteousness and justice are what they seek. If an action makes a mockery of law without a sanctimonious motive, then such culprit can be recognized by the House as an infidel.<br />
<br />
If a member of House Filangieri is declared an infidel, depending on the severity of the crime it can lead to banishment or in extreme cases, death or torture. Fidelity and righteousness is a must beneath the shroud of House Filangieri.<br />
<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">Fiefs===<br />
<br />
House Filangieri presently controls and occupies the fief of Castle Greywall, located within a secluded center of the Coerthas Highlands. It is the current place of residence of Lord Bartolomeo Filangieri.<br />

:<span class="mw-headline">'''[[Ulrich Mynhier]] (Father, deceased)&nbsp;''': Ulrich Mynhier was Erik and Tietra’s father, and one of the military elite of Ala Mhigo. Trained as a Dark Knight, a warrior that used a deadly combination of the user's life force-aether and sword, Ulrich was feared on the battlefield as the Captain of a special unit charged with hunting down Lucavi influence, known as the Palamecia. Despite his master's short comings, Ulrich was an honorable man and fought bravely to his death at the hands of Theodor von Hostem, the undead Lucavi servant of the dark god Rofocale, masquerading as an officer of the invasion force. Tietra does not remember much of her father, although Erik has shared some of the story of him and their mother with her since her return. <br />
<br />
<br />
:<span class="mw-headline">'''[[Heather Mynhier]], of the House Fortemps (Mother, deceased)&nbsp;''': Heather was the daughter of a hyur servant girl and the son of the head of the House of Fortemps, one of the four great Houses of Ishgard. A gifted healer and devout worshiper of Halone, she was forced to flee Ishgard when it was discovered that she had become pregnant by a soldier who guarded the Ala Mhigan embassy who had since returned to his homeland. Heather fled into the snowy night of the Coerthas. Fortunately a friend in the House Fortemps, a servant named Tellah, managed to send word to the soldier, Ulrich, who traveled by aether to Dragonhead. The two soon married and their children were born. Once more, Tietra was never given a chance to know her mother but through Erik she is learning slowly of her family.<br />
<br />
<br />
:<span class="mw-headline">'''[[Erik Mynhier]] (Older brother)&nbsp;''': Her older brother that she has just been given a chance to get to know. Although she had been waiting for her brother for what seemed her entire life – she is still uncertain about the man he is. Although desperate to salvage the relationship, and to have a chance with the last link to her past and her family – Tietra is uncertain what will happen in the coming months with the chaos that is life.<br />

Despite his master's short comings, Ulrich was an honorable man and fought bravely to his death at the hands of Theodor von Hostem, the undead Lucavi servant of the dark god Rofocale, masquerading as an officer of the invasion force. Tietra does not remember much of her father, although Erik has shared some of the story of him and their mother with her since her return. <br />

From there their friendship bloomed – in a whirl wind of stories, flirting, and comments of his rather nice ass, soon they traveled together with the promise they were together. Bart wished to retain his title and Tie went with him to Shroud to see it done. Eventually both returned to the city – after butting heads about the safety – but soon he was to leave once more, leaving Tietra there to her own devices – and his coin. When he returned, baring the title of Lord, Tietra was ready to admit her defeat and lose the man she had come to love in a short time – only to watch him promise himself to her and only her.

==<div style="font-size: 20px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">Basic Info ==<br />
<br />
Bartolomeo Filangieri (pronounced /Bar-toll-o-mayo/ /Fee-lan-gie-érie/) is a midlander hyur born from a noble family in the Kingdom of Jeridia, an island in the middle of the Rhotano Sea. His nameday is on the 16th Sun of 6th Astral Moon.<br />
<br />
At a young age Bartolomeo was inducted in a knightly order dedicated in eradicating miqo'te tribes that harrassed the Jeridian locals. Informally, those in the order were known as "Coeurlslayers" due to their specialty in dealing with the local tribes.<br />
<br />
After a civil war in his nation, the order Bartolomeo served in collapsed after the result of its Grandmaster being executed. The knights and Bartolomeo were imprisoned and considered as war criminals of the entire realm. <br />
<br />
After heavy convincing from his surviving uncle, the new Doge of Jeridia decided to spare Bartolomeo a lifetime in an oubliette and therefore exiled him from the realm, sending him forth to Eorzea to start his life anew. <br />
<br />
With time Bartolomeo settled in the metropolis of Ul'dah and through new contacts managed to get referred into the Sultansworn. Due to his sanctimonious nature, Bartolomeo eventually broke off with the Sultansworn and became an independant knight.<br />
<br />
As time passed, Bartolomeo eventually proved himself to an Ishgardian noble family and had his family House restored but under the Holy See's delegation.<br />
<br />
==<div style="font-size: 20px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">Appearance and Character==<br />
<br />
For a midlander, Bartolomeo can be described as strapping, tall, and broad shouldered. He is described as being particularly attractive, a trait that was found common in his family. Bartolomeo has gold, penetrating eyes that at times can make one wary during moments of silence. His head holds a properly groomed brown hair which often smells of fresh ointments. His face is always cleanly shaved on a daily basis, making the touch to his skin to be relatively smooth. He has hollow cheeks, dark circles beneath his eyes and thin lips.<br />
<br />
Bartolomeo is a serious, calm, stubborn and bold man. He believes in honoring the legacy of his family rather than discriminate against it as the new nobles of the Jeridian republic do. He believes in justice and being fidelious with his oaths when he can, he will not punish a man if he believes him to be innocent. <br />
<br />
Having spent most of his live in Jeridia fighting against miqo'te clans, Bartolomeo holds a distaste and wariness towards miqo'tes he meets, even more so if they are tribal. The man also holds a great distaste towards Eorzean and Garlean customs, although he remains subtle about his views unless speaking in more subtle environments.<br />

<span class="mw-headline">''Most of Bartolomeo's family members were killed by the civil war that occurred in Jeridia, some might have survived the onslaught, but at the present Bartolomeo is the only known surviving member of House Filangieri.''</span><br />
<br />
:<span class="mw-headline">'''[[Francesco Filangieri]] (Father, deceased)&nbsp;''': Francesco hosted the most financially providing slave trade in the market of Jeridia. What was done to the slaves are often mystery, but when people used to question the man on the matter, he'd inform them to refer to them as servants rather than slaves. He allowed the masters of these miqo'te slaves to treat them under their jurisdictions, aslong as it did not "violate" Jeridian laws. The man was known in the Kingdom as an influential merchant, and at times aristocrat. Bartolomeo and his father however never managed to meet eye-to-eye, mainly because Francesco disregarded Bartolomeo as the chosen heir to House Filangieri was his older brother, Lorenzo. Once Bartolomeo served Manfredi's knightly order, Francesco stripped all titles from Bartolomeo but kept him in his court. Francesco perished during House Tavelli's civil war, when an angry mob of nobles stabbed him and his oldest son Lorenzo in the middle of the streets.</span><br/><br />
<br />
:<span class="mw-headline">'''[[Iolanda Acquarone]] (Mother, deceased)&nbsp;:''' Despite his father's negligence, Iolanda did not mind Bartolomeo's presence, and often gave him counsel for anything he needed. His mannerisms and acts of behaving like a "gentleman" or dressing formally were received by Iolanda. Although Bartolomeo never witnessed his mother's death, the family manor was barricaded and burnt to the ground while she still remained within it.</span><br/><br />
<br />
:<span class="mw-headline">'''[[Lorenzo Filangieri]] (Brother, deceased)&nbsp;:''' House Filangieri's future head was to be Lorenzo. Despite being arrogant, Lorenzo held great respect for his younger brother and did not hesitate to stand up for him if the event needed it so. Lorenzo was slain alongside his father during Giovanni's civil war.</span><br/><br />
<br />
:<span class="mw-headline">'''[[Giulio Filangieri]] (Uncle, deceased)&nbsp;: '''After the civil war ended, Giulio was the only survivor of House Filangieri that remained in Jeridia with few discrimination. When Bartolomeo was banished and began to reside in Ul'dah, Giulio communicated with him through letters to understand where his life had been taking him. With time Giulio told Bartolomeo that the Doge of Jeridia wished to seek audience and reinstate Bartolomeo's status as a noble. Although Bartolomeo ventured into Jeridia and refused to take part in nobility, Giulio had to plot his way to reclaiming his family's previous status. After Bartolomeo returned to Eorzea, Giulio started to fabricate claims which was shortly noticed by the Doge. The old man, had to escape the island and eventually get in touch with Bartolomeo in the middle of Thanalan. The meeting resulted in a bloodbath after the Doge's cousin, Ludovico Tavelli, emerged with armed forces. Siha Xinkei, who was Bartolomeo's friend at the time, was present in the meeting and eventual combat and while she was nearly overwhelmed. Giulio managed to spare Siha a gruesome fate as he charged in and, unfortunately got killed in her place.</span><br/><br />

Shortly after, the pair met again and ventured out together to talk outside Ul'dah's walls. Still did the woman resume her lewdness, the man grew to take a liking in her, falling under her wave of charm and alluring nature. He accompanied her while he went off towards his campaign for House Rontremont in the Black Shroud. Through petty arguments and personal conversations, the man grew to fancy the woman even further, eventually the two began to hold a highly intimate relationship. After his reward in winning against the Dravanian infiltrator in the Antelope Tribe, Bartolomeo ventured back to Ul'dah in the most subtle of manners to smuggle the young woman to Castle Greywall with him, declaring his love for her officially.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Askier Mergrey]] : Once known as a terrorist in Ul'dah, while his beloved was held as a hostage by Garleans, the miqo'te managed to gain Bartolomeo's approval as he rescued the man while a band of assassins nearly ended his life.

<br />
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Kale Aideron]] : A soldier of Ul'dah who works with the Brass Blades and the Syndicate.

His timely appearance certified the favor of the battle to go towards Bartolomeo's end. Bartolomeo and Xydane both were heading towards the direction of Coerthas and during their voyage both shared stories of their past. Intrigued and impressed, Xydane is one of the few that Bartolomeo knows that can be relied upon.<br />

Upon reuniting Anelia offered to refer Bartolomeo into the Sultansworn to undertake its trials. Bartolomeo throughout his later encounters of her ended up assisting her against a monetarist plot in Western Thanalan. Once Bartolomeo left the Sultansworn however, Anelia and Bartolomeo's idealisms clashed, causing a sour taste to emerge Bartolomeo's mouth. Ever since, the two have not spoken.<br />

<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">1549 - 1567===<br />
<br />
Bartolomeo's life began in his family's villa deep within the capital of the Kingdom of Jeridia, an island based in the Rhotano sea. He was the youngest child of Lord Francesco Filangieri and Iolanda Acquarone. His family was highly regarded and generated a high level of influence within the nobility and the crown of Jeridia. House Filangieri's wealth came from the constant exportation of fish and resources, but most of its profit came from the ever dominant slave market that was permitted in the entire island. All of the slaves caught or sold consisted of miqo'tes tribesmen or woman that were found outside of the city's walls. This fortune made Francesco Filangieri highly renowned and decorated throughout Jeridia.<br />
<br />
Francesco determined that the heir to House Filangieri was to be Bartolomeo's older brother, Lorenzo. Thus, Lorenzo was tutored by his father to follow his path. Francesco neglected Bartolomeo, making him carve another path that was different from the rest of his family.<br />
<br />
Noticing Bartolomeo's passion in old tales of knights and chivalry, Francesco had the Grandmaster of the Knights of Jeridia take forth Bartolomeo and mentor him. The old Grandmaster accepted and taught the boy the chivalric code, the Twelve and from there made the young Bartolomeo develop a strong zeal for his culture and beliefs. <br />
<br />
Once reaching the age of 12, Manfredi brought Bartolomeo as his squire. With aiding the Grandmaster with various meager tasks, he was rewarded with sword fighting technique and useful advices in the arts of warfare.<br />
<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">1567 - 1574===<br />
<br />
Once Bartolomeo reached the age of 16, Manfredi finally declared that the young squire was old enough to officially become a knight and member of the order. It was then where his training came to good use but also new techniques and tricks were to be learned, as the knights specialized against repelling pirates but mostly dealt against miqo'te tribesmen that were present beyond the city walls. <br />
<br />
The knights in the order were trained to overcome the odds against a fearsome and outnumbering fighting force of tribals that could always besiege the city. Due to their specialty in fighting against miqo'tes, the people in Jeridia informally refered these knights as "Coeurlslayers", due to the similar ears and tails that both the miqo'te and coeurl have.<br />
<br />
Tensions finally began to grow thicker between the tribals and the kingdom of Jeridia. King Pandolfo the 'Careless' held interest to finally expand his realm by eliminating the nearby tribes. The King officially declared war after a group of Jeridian merchants were seen gruesomely murdered outside the city by a mob of tribals.<br />
<br />
Manfredi and his knightly order were dispatched outside the city. For the entirety of his young adulthood, Bartolomeo had to soak his blade with the blood of miqo'te in order to place his efforts for the order and the war. The order had to sack camps, various tribal settlements that were present throughout the island and win overwhelming battles in the middle of a tropical forest. By the end of the whole war, the population of miqo'te had dropped almost by fifty percent.<br />
<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">1574 - 1577===<br />
<br />
A year after the war had concluded, new issues began to grow within Jeridia's court. A claim for the throne was brought forth by House Tavelli, and therefore blackmailed to place their leader, Giovanni Tavelli, into power. King Pandolfo, as rentless and careless as he was renowned for, denied the accussations. This started a war in the streets of Jeridia's capital, yet the odds seemed hopeless for Tavelli's end in the beginning.<br />
<br />
Through schemes and conspiracies that had been planned throughout the war, House Tavelli managed to create a chain of uprisings by giving the defeated miqo'te words of hope and freedom. Other noble houses also remained in the midst of the plot for diverse reasons and formerly patriotic houses ended up joining the revolutionaries.<br />
<br />
After a few months the tides had turned, the King's loyalists were outmatched, including the order Bartolomeo was with. Francesco and Lorenzo, Bartolomeo's father and brother, were killed by a mob of nobleman in the streets. His mother Iolanda was barricaded in her own villa and burnt alive. <br />
<br />
Eventually the bloodshed would end with the beheadment of both Manfredi and Pandolfo. Those loyal who survived the carnage were either imprisoned, executed or spared if the price was proper. Bartolomeo was casted into an oubliette and remained trapped in there for a whole cycle.<br />
<br />
By year 1577, Bartolomeo was brought forth to the newly reformed court of the Republic of Jeridia. The monarchy was no longer present as it was now a council that governed Jeridia. The laws had been reformed, slavery was abolished, and the head of the council was known as a Doge. <br />
<br />
Giulio Filangieri, Bartolomeo's uncle, had managed to pay the Doge a ransom to have Bartolomeo liberated from his cell. The only drawback over than payment was to banish Bartolomeo from the realm of Jeridia and to never return...<br />
<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">1577 - Present===<br />
[[File:Bartolomeotier.jpeg|200px|thumb|<span style="color:#000000">Bartolomeo by Tiergan.</span>]]<br />
Ever since his exile, Bartolomeo arrived in Ul'dah, with but a bronze plate that covered his torso and lacked refine. He was brought upon an order known as Arcadeus and encountered Anelia Sadowyn, a paladin of the Sultanate of Ul'dah. Intrigued by Anelia's ideals, the worn and former prisoner recollected plenty of what he previously did under the knighthood of Manfredi's order. Eventually, after a dispute, Bartolomeo left Arcadeus and remained independant. <br />
<br />
His uncle Giulio Filangieri provided Bartolomeo with gil and riches from Jeridia, with little hesitation did he invested on the still devastated knight. Bartolomeo's funding continued until Giulio was branded a traitor of the Jeridian republic and fled to Thanalan to meet with his nephew. When offering Bartolomeo a crate of riches, Ludovico Tavelli and a small group of mercenaries arrived. A battle ensued, Giulio perished in the battle, but as did Ludovico and his men thanks to Bartolomeo's blade. <br />
<br />
Bartolomeo became affiliated to a few free companies and eventually, thanks to the influence of Anelia Sadowyn, managed to become a paladin in the Sultansworn. Eventually such was not his fate, as later events made him distrust Ul'dahn politics entirely. He kept ties with Ul'dah and performed investigations for a shadow organisation that functioned with the Immortal Flames. <br />
<br />
He spoked with an Ishgardian noblewoman throughout his time, and her words brought forth a seed of ambition deep inside Bartolomeo's mind. For months Bartolomeo had been planning in ways to restore House Filangieri, where all of its members were either killed or exiled. Eventually, thanks to the influence of an inquisitor that he had acquainted with, House Rontremont offered to restore his legacy by having him undertake a desperate mission to slay a dragon which was under the form of a miqo'te slave. <br />
<br />
Through days of swift planning Bartolomeo managed to eliminate the dragon, with the help of others. Lord Rontremont was pleased at the result and relieved that Bartolomeo had shown capability in fighting against the Dravinian Horde. As promised, the Lord turned Bartolomeo into his vassal but as well rendered him as Lord and noble. Bartolomeo renounced all allegiance to any other city-state. He swore fealty to House Rontremont and the Holy See, and swore to shift his faith towards that of the Ishgardian Orthodox Church.<br />
<br />

<br />
<center>[[File:FilangieriSigil.png|220 px]]<br><br><br />
<big>''"With Sanctimony and Fidelity" <br><small>~Family motto since the foundation of the Ishgardian chapter</small>''</big><br />
</center><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
House Filangieri, its foundations date back throughout lost history where midlander clans conquered the eastern coast of the Jeridian island and then to when the Kingdom was born. No one knows of the predecessors of House Filangieri, other than the two final leaders of the Jeridian nobility, Francesco and Giulio Filangieri, whom both were killed by the rival House Tavelli, back on Jeridia. The Jeridian chapter of House Filangieri was rendered infamous for its power in the slave industry, miqo'te slaves taken from sacked tribal encampments were their main source of income and as well what gave them a dominating presence in the former Kingdom of Jeridia. Eventually, the King's rule was usurped and slavery was rendered a crime, House Filangieri was highly crippled by the end of the war, with Francesco murdered and Giulio left to rule the house alone. Giulio's death only rendered the Jeridian chapter of House Filangieri to extinction.<br />
<br />
Bartolomeo was offered a chance to restore his family name underneath Ishgard's banners, his title would be renewed but he would also fall as becoming a vassal of Lord Rontremont. Bartolomeo was told by House Rontremont in order to restore his family name, he had to slay a dragon shapeshifted as a false miqo'te concubine amongst the seeker "Antelope Tribe". Through a bloody moon Bartolomeo managed to have the dragon slain, eventually resulting in the restoration of House Filangieri, now as an Ishgardian chapter. Alas, due to foreign roots, any in House Filangieri are still not permitted to go beyond Ishgard's gates.<br />
<br />
[[File:CleanCoatFilangieri.png|thumb|right|120px| <span style="color:#000000">Jeridian House Filangieri's sigil.</span>]]<br />
<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">Sigil===<br />
<br />
The sigil of the Jeridian chapter of House Filangieri was that of a black and gold wolf, representing the hard industry that the family once delegated. Bartolomeo however when he had his name restored, changed the sigil to that of a human hand in a pose of benediction. The meaning of such signifies pledge of faith, sincerity, and justice. <br />
<br />
The colors of House Filangieri's coat of arms follows a similar scheme as it has for generations. The black representing constancy, while the gold represents generosity and elevation of mind.<br />
<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">Philosophy===<br />
<br />
House Filangieri's religious beliefs are of course influenced from the Ishgardian Orthodox Church. Those who are infidelious to their oaths, faith, loved ones or lieges - are declared as rivals to House Filangieri. Righteousness and justice are what they seek. If an action makes a mockery of law without a sanctimonious motive, then such culprit can be recognized by the House as an infidel.<br />
<br />
If a member of House Filangieri is declared an infidel, depending on the severity of the crime it can lead to banishment or in extreme cases, death or torture. Fidelity and righteousness is a must beneath the shroud of House Filangieri.<br />
<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">Fiefs===<br />
<br />
House Filangieri presently controls and occupies the fief of Castle Greywall, located within a secluded center of the Coerthas Highlands. It is the current place of residence of Lord Bartolomeo Filangieri.<br />

==<div style="font-size: 20px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">Basic Info ==<br />
<br />
Bartolomeo Filangieri (pronounced /Bar-toll-o-mayo/ /Fee-lan-gie-érie/) is a midlander hyur born from a noble family in the Kingdom of Jeridia, an island in the middle of the Rhotano Sea. His nameday is on the 16th Sun of 6th Astral Moon.<br />
<br />
At a young age Bartolomeo was inducted in a knightly order dedicated in eradicating miqo'te tribes that harrassed the Jeridian locals. Informally, those in the order were known as "Coeurlslayers" due to their specialty in dealing with the local tribes.<br />
<br />
After a civil war in his nation, the order Bartolomeo served in collapsed after the result of its Grandmaster being executed. The knights and Bartolomeo were imprisoned and considered as war criminals of the entire realm. <br />
<br />
After heavy convincing from his surviving uncle, the new Doge of Jeridia decided to spare Bartolomeo a lifetime in an oubliette and therefore exiled him from the realm, sending him forth to Eorzea to start his life anew. <br />
<br />
With time Bartolomeo settled in the metropolis of Ul'dah and through new contacts managed to get referred into the Sultansworn. Due to his sanctimonious nature, Bartolomeo eventually broke off with the Sultansworn and became an independant knight.<br />
<br />
As time passed, Bartolomeo eventually proved himself to an Ishgardian noble family and had his family House restored but under the Holy See's delegation.<br />
<br />
==<div style="font-size: 20px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">Appearance and Character==<br />
<br />
For a midlander, Bartolomeo can be described as strapping, tall, and broad shouldered. He is described as being particularly attractive, a trait that was found common in his family. Bartolomeo has gold, penetrating eyes that at times can make one wary during moments of silence. His head holds a properly groomed brown hair which often smells of fresh ointments. His face is always cleanly shaved on a daily basis, making the touch to his skin to be relatively smooth. He has hollow cheeks, dark circles beneath his eyes and thin lips.<br />
<br />
Bartolomeo is a serious, calm, stubborn and bold man. He believes in honoring the legacy of his family rather than discriminate against it as the new nobles of the Jeridian republic do. He believes in justice and being fidelious with his oaths when he can, he will not punish a man if he believes him to be innocent. <br />
<br />
Having spent most of his live in Jeridia fighting against miqo'te clans, Bartolomeo holds a distaste and wariness towards miqo'tes he meets, even more so if they are tribal. The man also holds a great distaste towards Eorzean and Garlean customs, although he remains subtle about his views unless speaking in more subtle environments.<br />

<br />
<span class="mw-headline">''Most of Bartolomeo's family members were killed by the civil war that occurred in Jeridia, some might have survived the onslaught, but at the present Bartolomeo is the only known surviving member of House Filangieri.''</span><br />
<br />
:<span class="mw-headline">'''[[Francesco Filangieri]] (Father, deceased)&nbsp;''': Francesco hosted the most financially providing slave trade in the market of Jeridia. What was done to the slaves are often mystery, but when people used to question the man on the matter, he'd inform them to refer to them as servants rather than slaves. He allowed the masters of these miqo'te slaves to treat them under their jurisdictions, aslong as it did not "violate" Jeridian laws. The man was known in the Kingdom as an influential merchant, and at times aristocrat. Bartolomeo and his father however never managed to meet eye-to-eye, mainly because Francesco disregarded Bartolomeo as the chosen heir to House Filangieri was his older brother, Lorenzo. Once Bartolomeo served Manfredi's knightly order, Francesco stripped all titles from Bartolomeo but kept him in his court. Francesco perished during House Tavelli's civil war, when an angry mob of nobles stabbed him and his oldest son Lorenzo in the middle of the streets.</span><br/><br />
<br />
:<span class="mw-headline">'''[[Iolanda Acquarone]] (Mother, deceased)&nbsp;:''' Despite his father's negligence, Iolanda did not mind Bartolomeo's presence, and often gave him counsel for anything he needed. His mannerisms and acts of behaving like a "gentleman" or dressing formally were received by Iolanda. Although Bartolomeo never witnessed his mother's death, the family manor was barricaded and burnt to the ground while she still remained within it.</span><br/><br />
<br />
:<span class="mw-headline">'''[[Lorenzo Filangieri]] (Brother, deceased)&nbsp;:''' House Filangieri's future head was to be Lorenzo. Despite being arrogant, Lorenzo held great respect for his younger brother and did not hesitate to stand up for him if the event needed it so. Lorenzo was slain alongside his father during Giovanni's civil war.</span><br/><br />
<br />
:<span class="mw-headline">'''[[Giulio Filangieri]] (Uncle, deceased)&nbsp;: '''After the civil war ended, Giulio was the only survivor of House Filangieri that remained in Jeridia with few discrimination. When Bartolomeo was banished and began to reside in Ul'dah, Giulio communicated with him through letters to understand where his life had been taking him. With time Giulio told Bartolomeo that the Doge of Jeridia wished to seek audience and reinstate Bartolomeo's status as a noble. Although Bartolomeo ventured into Jeridia and refused to take part in nobility, Giulio had to plot his way to reclaiming his family's previous status. After Bartolomeo returned to Eorzea, Giulio started to fabricate claims which was shortly noticed by the Doge. The old man, had to escape the island and eventually get in touch with Bartolomeo in the middle of Thanalan. The meeting resulted in a bloodbath after the Doge's cousin, Ludovico Tavelli, emerged with armed forces. Siha Xinkei, who was Bartolomeo's friend at the time, was present in the meeting and eventual combat and while she was nearly overwhelmed. Giulio managed to spare Siha a gruesome fate as he charged in and, unfortunately got killed in her place.</span><br/><br />

: <font style="color:#F02311;" size="3">♥</font> [[Tietra Mynhier]] : Erik Mynhier's lost sister met Bartolomeo within a ceremony that occured within the Red Wings' headquarters, barely before meeting one another, the woman rewarded Bartolomeo with various lewd remarks about his posterior. Shortly after, the pair met again and ventured out together to talk outside Ul'dah's walls. Still did the woman resume her lewdness, the man grew to take a liking in her, falling under her wave of charm and alluring nature. He accompanied her while he went off towards his campaign for House Rontremont in the Black Shroud. Through petty arguments and personal conversations, the man grew to fancy the woman even further, eventually the two began to hold a highly intimate relationship. After his reward in winning against the Dravanian infiltrator in the Antelope Tribe, Bartolomeo ventured back to Ul'dah in the most subtle of manners to smuggle the young woman to Castle Greywall with him, declaring his love for her officially.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Askier Mergrey]] : Once known as a terrorist in Ul'dah, while his beloved was held as a hostage by Garleans, the miqo'te managed to gain Bartolomeo's approval as he rescued the man while a band of assassins nearly ended his life. Furthermore, he did so out of kindness, thus proving that tales of his callousness are somewhat exaggerated.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Kale Aideron]] : A soldier of Ul'dah who works with the Brass Blades and the Syndicate. The man first met Bartolomeo in the Grindstone tournament during his time as a free paladin. The two befriended one another as they did not hesitate to watch each other's backs during a conflict in the Quicksand. The man has not met Kale in awhile, but prays to do so in the near future.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Seiletta Rougefeather]] : The elezen Seiletta is one that had encountered Bartolomeo throughout several situations, since his time in Ul'dah and his various trips towards Gridannia. The elezen once aided Bartolomeo in dealing against a group of Ishgardian knights who found the former paladin's presence to be entirely suspicious. With time, the two met again once Bartolomeo became an Ishgardian nobleman.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Xydane Vale]] : Xydane met Bartolomeo during his battle against a dragon in the Black Shroud. His timely appearance certified the favor of the battle to go towards Bartolomeo's end. Bartolomeo and Xydane both were heading towards the direction of Coerthas and during their voyage both shared stories of their past. Intrigued and impressed, Xydane is one of the few that Bartolomeo knows that can be relied upon.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> [[Anelia Sadowyn]] : Anelia was one of the first paladins Bartolomeo had ever set eyes upon in Ul'dah, in reality he was the first ally he held dearly until he departed from Arcadeus. Upon reuniting Anelia offered to refer Bartolomeo into the Sultansworn to undertake its trials. Bartolomeo throughout his later encounters of her ended up assisting her against a monetarist plot in Western Thanalan. Once Bartolomeo left the Sultansworn however, Anelia and Bartolomeo's idealisms clashed, causing a sour taste to emerge Bartolomeo's mouth. Ever since, the two have not spoken.<br />
<br />

The pair were growing close, but eventually their friendship was tarnished while Bartolomeo undertook a mission for the Sultansworn to retrieve a stolen tome. A strong disagreement between Bartolomeo and a crimelord, who was also Siha's friend at the time ensued. The two met each other again a few moons later, this time on better terms, but Bartolomeo still believes that they will forever hold conflicting sets of beliefs.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> [[Bell Ebonwing]] : Bartolomeo's first lover, a miqo'te keeper, raised in the streets of Ul'dah.

Since their seperation, Bartolomeo shows inability in speaking to her without demonstrating disregard.<br />

<br />
: <font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> [[Jancis Milburga]] : The most gentle of ladies that Bartolomeo has ever settled eyes on, her desire to aid when the two used to encounter one another brought a sense of warmth to Bartolomeo's heart.

<br />
: <font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> [[Rivienne Delacroux]] : Bartolomeo encountered Rivienne during a voyage around the Black Shroud. Bartolomeo remains wary of the woodlander's motives and feels uncomfortable when she is present.

<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">1549 - 1567===<br />
<br />
Bartolomeo's life began in his family's villa deep within the capital of the Kingdom of Jeridia, an island based in the Rhotano sea. He was the youngest child of Lord Francesco Filangieri and Iolanda Acquarone. His family was highly regarded and generated a high level of influence within the nobility and the crown of Jeridia. House Filangieri's wealth came from the constant exportation of fish and resources, but most of its profit came from the ever dominant slave market that was permitted in the entire island. All of the slaves caught or sold consisted of miqo'tes tribesmen or woman that were found outside of the city's walls. This fortune made Francesco Filangieri highly renowned and decorated throughout Jeridia.<br />
<br />
Francesco determined that the heir to House Filangieri was to be Bartolomeo's older brother, Lorenzo. Thus, Lorenzo was tutored by his father to follow his path. Francesco neglected Bartolomeo, making him carve another path that was different from the rest of his family.<br />
<br />
Noticing Bartolomeo's passion in old tales of knights and chivalry, Francesco had the Grandmaster of the Knights of Jeridia take forth Bartolomeo and mentor him. The old Grandmaster accepted and taught the boy the chivalric code, the Twelve and from there made the young Bartolomeo develop a strong zeal for his culture and beliefs. <br />
<br />
Once reaching the age of 12, Manfredi brought Bartolomeo as his squire. With aiding the Grandmaster with various meager tasks, he was rewarded with sword fighting technique and useful advices in the arts of warfare.<br />
<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">1567 - 1574===<br />
<br />
Once Bartolomeo reached the age of 16, Manfredi finally declared that the young squire was old enough to officially become a knight and member of the order. It was then where his training came to good use but also new techniques and tricks were to be learned, as the knights specialized against repelling pirates but mostly dealt against miqo'te tribesmen that were present beyond the city walls. <br />
<br />
The knights in the order were trained to overcome the odds against a fearsome and outnumbering fighting force of tribals that could always besiege the city. Due to their specialty in fighting against miqo'tes, the people in Jeridia informally refered these knights as "Coeurlslayers", due to the similar ears and tails that both the miqo'te and coeurl have.<br />
<br />
Tensions finally began to grow thicker between the tribals and the kingdom of Jeridia. King Pandolfo the 'Careless' held interest to finally expand his realm by eliminating the nearby tribes. The King officially declared war after a group of Jeridian merchants were seen gruesomely murdered outside the city by a mob of tribals.<br />
<br />
Manfredi and his knightly order were dispatched outside the city. For the entirety of his young adulthood, Bartolomeo had to soak his blade with the blood of miqo'te in order to place his efforts for the order and the war. The order had to sack camps, various tribal settlements that were present throughout the island and win overwhelming battles in the middle of a tropical forest. By the end of the whole war, the population of miqo'te had dropped almost by fifty percent.<br />
<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">1574 - 1577===<br />
<br />
A year after the war had concluded, new issues began to grow within Jeridia's court. A claim for the throne was brought forth by House Tavelli, and therefore blackmailed to place their leader, Giovanni Tavelli, into power. King Pandolfo, as rentless and careless as he was renowned for, denied the accussations. This started a war in the streets of Jeridia's capital, yet the odds seemed hopeless for Tavelli's end in the beginning.<br />
<br />
Through schemes and conspiracies that had been planned throughout the war, House Tavelli managed to create a chain of uprisings by giving the defeated miqo'te words of hope and freedom. Other noble houses also remained in the midst of the plot for diverse reasons and formerly patriotic houses ended up joining the revolutionaries.<br />
<br />
After a few months the tides had turned, the King's loyalists were outmatched, including the order Bartolomeo was with. Francesco and Lorenzo, Bartolomeo's father and brother, were killed by a mob of nobleman in the streets. His mother Iolanda was barricaded in her own villa and burnt alive. <br />
<br />
Eventually the bloodshed would end with the beheadment of both Manfredi and Pandolfo. Those loyal who survived the carnage were either imprisoned, executed or spared if the price was proper. Bartolomeo was casted into an oubliette and remained trapped in there for a whole cycle.<br />
<br />
By year 1577, Bartolomeo was brought forth to the newly reformed court of the Republic of Jeridia. The monarchy was no longer present as it was now a council that governed Jeridia. The laws had been reformed, slavery was abolished, and the head of the council was known as a Doge. <br />
<br />
Giulio Filangieri, Bartolomeo's uncle, had managed to pay the Doge a ransom to have Bartolomeo liberated from his cell. The only drawback over than payment was to banish Bartolomeo from the realm of Jeridia and to never return...<br />

Ever since his exile, Bartolomeo arrived in Ul'dah, with but a bronze plate that covered his torso and lacked refine. He was brought upon an order known as Arcadeus and encountered Anelia Sadowyn, a paladin of the Sultanate of Ul'dah. Intrigued by Anelia's ideals, the worn and former prisoner recollected plenty of what he previously did under the knighthood of Manfredi's order. Eventually, after a dispute, Bartolomeo left Arcadeus and remained independant. <br />
<br />
His uncle Giulio Filangieri provided Bartolomeo with gil and riches from Jeridia, with little hesitation did he invested on the still devastated knight. Bartolomeo's funding continued until Giulio was branded a traitor of the Jeridian republic and fled to Thanalan to meet with his nephew. When offering Bartolomeo a crate of riches, Ludovico Tavelli and a small group of mercenaries arrived. A battle ensued, Giulio perished in the battle, but as did Ludovico and his men thanks to Bartolomeo's blade. <br />
<br />
Bartolomeo became affiliated to a few free companies and eventually, thanks to the influence of Anelia Sadowyn, managed to become a paladin in the Sultansworn. Eventually such was not his fate, as later events made him distrust Ul'dahn politics entirely. He kept ties with Ul'dah and performed investigations for a shadow organisation that functioned with the Immortal Flames. <br />
<br />
He spoked with an Ishgardian noblewoman throughout his time, and her words brought forth a seed of ambition deep inside Bartolomeo's mind. For months Bartolomeo had been planning in ways to restore House Filangieri, where all of its members were either killed or exiled. Eventually, thanks to the influence of an inquisitor that he had acquainted with, House Rontremont offered to restore his legacy by having him undertake a desperate mission to slay a dragon which was under the form of a miqo'te slave. <br />
<br />
Through days of swift planning Bartolomeo managed to eliminate the dragon, with the help of others. Lord Rontremont was pleased at the result and relieved that Bartolomeo had shown capability in fighting against the Dravinian Horde. As promised, the Lord turned Bartolomeo into his vassal but as well rendered him as Lord and noble. Bartolomeo renounced all allegiance to any other city-state. He swore fealty to House Rontremont and the Holy See, and swore to shift his faith towards that of the Ishgardian Orthodox Church.<br />

<big>''"With Sanctimony and Fidelity" <br><small>~Family motto since the foundation of the Ishgardian chapter</small>''</big><br />
</center><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
House Filangieri, its foundations date back throughout lost history where midlander clans conquered the eastern coast of the Jeridian island and then to when the Kingdom was born. No one knows of the predecessors of House Filangieri, other than the two final leaders of the Jeridian nobility, Francesco and Giulio Filangieri, whom both were killed by the rival House Tavelli, back on Jeridia. The Jeridian chapter of House Filangieri was rendered infamous for its power in the slave industry, miqo'te slaves taken from sacked tribal encampments were their main source of income and as well what gave them a dominating presence in the former Kingdom of Jeridia. Eventually, the King's rule was usurped and slavery was rendered a crime, House Filangieri was highly crippled by the end of the war, with Francesco murdered and Giulio left to rule the house alone. Giulio's death only rendered the Jeridian chapter of House Filangieri to extinction.<br />
<br />
Bartolomeo was offered a chance to restore his family name underneath Ishgard's banners, his title would be renewed but he would also fall as becoming a vassal of Lord Rontremont. Bartolomeo was told by House Rontremont in order to restore his family name, he had to slay a dragon shapeshifted as a false miqo'te concubine amongst the seeker "Antelope Tribe". Through a bloody moon Bartolomeo managed to have the dragon slain, eventually resulting in the restoration of House Filangieri, now as an Ishgardian chapter. Alas, due to foreign roots, any in House Filangieri are still not permitted to go beyond Ishgard's gates.<br />
<br />
[[File:CleanCoatFilangieri.png|thumb|right|120px| <span style="color:#000000">Jeridian House Filangieri's sigil.</span>]]<br />
<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">Sigil===<br />
<br />
The sigil of the Jeridian chapter of House Filangieri was that of a black and gold wolf, representing the hard industry that the family once delegated. Bartolomeo however when he had his name restored, changed the sigil to that of a human hand in a pose of benediction. The meaning of such signifies pledge of faith, sincerity, and justice. <br />
<br />
The colors of House Filangieri's coat of arms follows a similar scheme as it has for generations. The black representing constancy, while the gold represents generosity and elevation of mind.<br />
<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">Philosophy===<br />
<br />
House Filangieri's religious beliefs are of course influenced from the Ishgardian Orthodox Church. Those who are infidelious to their oaths, faith, loved ones or lieges - are declared as rivals to House Filangieri. Righteousness and justice are what they seek. If an action makes a mockery of law without a sanctimonious motive, then such culprit can be recognized by the House as an infidel.<br />
<br />
If a member of House Filangieri is declared an infidel, depending on the severity of the crime it can lead to banishment or in extreme cases, death or torture. Fidelity and righteousness is a must beneath the shroud of House Filangieri.<br />
<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">Fiefs===<br />
<br />
House Filangieri presently controls and occupies the fief of Castle Greywall, located within a secluded center of the Coerthas Highlands. It is the current place of residence of Lord Bartolomeo Filangieri.<br />

==<div style="font-size: 20px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">Basic Info ==<br />
<br />
Bartolomeo Filangieri (pronounced /Bar-toll-o-mayo/ /Fee-lan-gie-érie/) is a midlander hyur born from a noble family in the Kingdom of Jeridia, an island in the middle of the Rhotano Sea. His nameday is on the 16th Sun of 6th Astral Moon.<br />
<br />
At a young age Bartolomeo was inducted in a knightly order dedicated in eradicating miqo'te tribes that harrassed the Jeridian locals. Informally, those in the order were known as "Coeurlslayers" due to their specialty in dealing with the local tribes.<br />
<br />
After a civil war in his nation, the order Bartolomeo served in collapsed after the result of its Grandmaster being executed. The knights and Bartolomeo were imprisoned and considered as war criminals of the entire realm. <br />
<br />
After heavy convincing from his surviving uncle, the new Doge of Jeridia decided to spare Bartolomeo a lifetime in an oubliette and therefore exiled him from the realm, sending him forth to Eorzea to start his life anew. <br />
<br />
With time Bartolomeo settled in the metropolis of Ul'dah and through new contacts managed to get referred into the Sultansworn. Due to his sanctimonious nature, Bartolomeo eventually broke off with the Sultansworn and became an independant knight.<br />
<br />
As time passed, Bartolomeo eventually proved himself to an Ishgardian noble family and had his family House restored but under the Holy See's delegation.<br />
<br />
==<div style="font-size: 20px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">Appearance and Character==<br />
<br />
For a midlander, Bartolomeo can be described as strapping, tall, and broad shouldered. He is described as being particularly attractive, a trait that was found common in his family. Bartolomeo has gold, penetrating eyes that at times can make one wary during moments of silence. His head holds a properly groomed brown hair which often smells of fresh ointments. His face is always cleanly shaved on a daily basis, making the touch to his skin to be relatively smooth. He has hollow cheeks, dark circles beneath his eyes and thin lips.<br />
<br />
Bartolomeo is a serious, calm, stubborn and bold man. He believes in honoring the legacy of his family rather than discriminate against it as the new nobles of the Jeridian republic do. He believes in justice and being fidelious with his oaths when he can, he will not punish a man if he believes him to be innocent. <br />
<br />
Having spent most of his live in Jeridia fighting against miqo'te clans, Bartolomeo holds a distaste and wariness towards miqo'tes he meets, even more so if they are tribal. The man also holds a great distaste towards Eorzean and Garlean customs, although he remains subtle about his views unless speaking in more subtle environments.<br />

<br />
<span class="mw-headline">''Most of Bartolomeo's family members were killed by the civil war that occurred in Jeridia, some might have survived the onslaught, but at the present Bartolomeo is the only known surviving member of House Filangieri.''</span><br />
<br />
:<span class="mw-headline">'''[[Francesco Filangieri]] (Father, deceased)&nbsp;''': Francesco hosted the most financially providing slave trade in the market of Jeridia. What was done to the slaves are often mystery, but when people used to question the man on the matter, he'd inform them to refer to them as servants rather than slaves. He allowed the masters of these miqo'te slaves to treat them under their jurisdictions, aslong as it did not "violate" Jeridian laws. The man was known in the Kingdom as an influential merchant, and at times aristocrat. Bartolomeo and his father however never managed to meet eye-to-eye, mainly because Francesco disregarded Bartolomeo as the chosen heir to House Filangieri was his older brother, Lorenzo. Once Bartolomeo served Manfredi's knightly order, Francesco stripped all titles from Bartolomeo but kept him in his court. Francesco perished during House Tavelli's civil war, when an angry mob of nobles stabbed him and his oldest son Lorenzo in the middle of the streets.</span><br/><br />
<br />
:<span class="mw-headline">'''[[Iolanda Acquarone]] (Mother, deceased)&nbsp;:''' Despite his father's negligence, Iolanda did not mind Bartolomeo's presence, and often gave him counsel for anything he needed. His mannerisms and acts of behaving like a "gentleman" or dressing formally were received by Iolanda. Although Bartolomeo never witnessed his mother's death, the family manor was barricaded and burnt to the ground while she still remained within it.</span><br/><br />
<br />
:<span class="mw-headline">'''[[Lorenzo Filangieri]] (Brother, deceased)&nbsp;:''' House Filangieri's future head was to be Lorenzo. Despite being arrogant, Lorenzo held great respect for his younger brother and did not hesitate to stand up for him if the event needed it so. Lorenzo was slain alongside his father during Giovanni's civil war.</span><br/><br />
<br />
:<span class="mw-headline">'''[[Giulio Filangieri]] (Uncle, deceased)&nbsp;: '''After the civil war ended, Giulio was the only survivor of House Filangieri that remained in Jeridia with few discrimination. When Bartolomeo was banished and began to reside in Ul'dah, Giulio communicated with him through letters to understand where his life had been taking him. With time Giulio told Bartolomeo that the Doge of Jeridia wished to seek audience and reinstate Bartolomeo's status as a noble. Although Bartolomeo ventured into Jeridia and refused to take part in nobility, Giulio had to plot his way to reclaiming his family's previous status. After Bartolomeo returned to Eorzea, Giulio started to fabricate claims which was shortly noticed by the Doge. The old man, had to escape the island and eventually get in touch with Bartolomeo in the middle of Thanalan. The meeting resulted in a bloodbath after the Doge's cousin, Ludovico Tavelli, emerged with armed forces. Siha Xinkei, who was Bartolomeo's friend at the time, was present in the meeting and eventual combat and while she was nearly overwhelmed. Giulio managed to spare Siha a gruesome fate as he charged in and, unfortunately got killed in her place.</span><br/><br />

: <font style="color:#F02311;" size="3">♥</font> [[Tietra Mynhier]] : Erik Mynhier's lost sister met Bartolomeo within a ceremony that occured within the Red Wings' headquarters, barely before meeting one another, the woman rewarded Bartolomeo with various lewd remarks about his posterior. Shortly after, the pair met again and ventured out together to talk outside Ul'dah's walls. Still did the woman resume her lewdness, the man grew to take a liking in her, falling under her wave of charm and alluring nature. He accompanied her while he went off towards his campaign for House Rontremont in the Black Shroud. Through petty arguments and personal conversations, the man grew to fancy the woman even further, eventually the two began to hold a highly intimate relationship. After his reward in winning against the Dravanian infiltrator in the Antelope Tribe, Bartolomeo ventured back to Ul'dah in the most subtle of manners to smuggle the young woman to Castle Greywall with him, declaring his love for her officially.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Askier Mergrey]] : Once known as a terrorist in Ul'dah, while his beloved was held as a hostage by Garleans, the miqo'te managed to gain Bartolomeo's approval as he rescued the man while a band of assassins nearly ended his life. Furthermore, he did so out of kindness, thus proving that tales of his callousness are somewhat exaggerated.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Kale Aideron]] : A soldier of Ul'dah who works with the Brass Blades and the Syndicate. The man first met Bartolomeo in the Grindstone tournament during his time as a free paladin. The two befriended one another as they did not hesitate to watch each other's backs during a conflict in the Quicksand. The man has not met Kale in awhile, but prays to do so in the near future.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Seiletta Rougefeather]] : The elezen Seiletta is one that had encountered Bartolomeo throughout several situations, since his time in Ul'dah and his various trips towards Gridannia. The elezen once aided Bartolomeo in dealing against a group of Ishgardian knights who found the former paladin's presence to be entirely suspicious. With time, the two met again once Bartolomeo became an Ishgardian nobleman.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Xydane Vale]] : Xydane met Bartolomeo during his battle against a dragon in the Black Shroud. His timely appearance certified the favor of the battle to go towards Bartolomeo's end. Bartolomeo and Xydane both were heading towards the direction of Coerthas and during their voyage both shared stories of their past. Intrigued and impressed, Xydane is one of the few that Bartolomeo knows that can be relied upon.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> [[Anelia Sadowyn]] : Anelia was one of the first paladins Bartolomeo had ever set eyes upon in Ul'dah, in reality he was the first ally he held dearly until he departed from Arcadeus. Upon reuniting Anelia offered to refer Bartolomeo into the Sultansworn to undertake its trials. Bartolomeo throughout his later encounters of her ended up assisting her against a monetarist plot in Western Thanalan. Once Bartolomeo left the Sultansworn however, Anelia and Bartolomeo's idealisms clashed, causing a sour taste to emerge Bartolomeo's mouth. Ever since, the two have not spoken.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> [[Siha Xinkei]] : Siha and Bartolomeo met first in Arcadeus, and ever since became close friends throughout his earlier days in Eorzea. The pair were growing close, but eventually their friendship was tarnished while Bartolomeo undertook a mission for the Sultansworn to retrieve a stolen tome. A strong disagreement between Bartolomeo and a crimelord, who was also Siha's friend at the time ensued. The two met each other again a few moons later, this time on better terms, but Bartolomeo still believes that they will forever hold conflicting sets of beliefs.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> [[Bell Ebonwing]] : Bartolomeo's first lover, a miqo'te keeper, raised in the streets of Ul'dah. Bartolomeo's first "mating" was with Bell, a revolutionary act in the former virgin's history. Due to dire circumstances in Ul'dah, the two did not stay with one another. Since their seperation, Bartolomeo shows inability in speaking to her without demonstrating disregard.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> [[Coatleque Crofte]] : The most loyal knight he has met in Eorzea thus far. The two hold differing beliefs and since his departure from the Sultansworn the two have been forever distant from one another. Due to her young age, Bartolomeo doesn't believe that Coatleque carries enough wisdom or if any on that regards.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> [[Jancis Milburga]] : The most gentle of ladies that Bartolomeo has ever settled eyes on, her desire to aid when the two used to encounter one another brought a sense of warmth to Bartolomeo's heart. Alas, her desire to help others, even those who are unjust, had once made Bartolomeo concerned of her good health.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> [[Rivienne Delacroux]] : Bartolomeo encountered Rivienne during a voyage around the Black Shroud. Bartolomeo remains wary of the woodlander's motives and feels uncomfortable when she is present. Rivienne's preference of the wilds over the city brought forth a great deal of inquiries from Bartolomeo. The man would not neglect the fact that the woman carries an exotic charm and beauty that can smite a person deeply.<br />

<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">1549 - 1567===<br />
<br />
Bartolomeo's life began in his family's villa deep within the capital of the Kingdom of Jeridia, an island based in the Rhotano sea. He was the youngest child of Lord Francesco Filangieri and Iolanda Acquarone. His family was highly regarded and generated a high level of influence within the nobility and the crown of Jeridia. House Filangieri's wealth came from the constant exportation of fish and resources, but most of its profit came from the ever dominant slave market that was permitted in the entire island. All of the slaves caught or sold consisted of miqo'tes tribesmen or woman that were found outside of the city's walls. This fortune made Francesco Filangieri highly renowned and decorated throughout Jeridia.<br />
<br />
Francesco determined that the heir to House Filangieri was to be Bartolomeo's older brother, Lorenzo. Thus, Lorenzo was tutored by his father to follow his path. Francesco neglected Bartolomeo, making him carve another path that was different from the rest of his family.<br />
<br />
Noticing Bartolomeo's passion in old tales of knights and chivalry, Francesco had the Grandmaster of the Knights of Jeridia take forth Bartolomeo and mentor him. The old Grandmaster accepted and taught the boy the chivalric code, the Twelve and from there made the young Bartolomeo develop a strong zeal for his culture and beliefs. <br />
<br />
Once reaching the age of 12, Manfredi brought Bartolomeo as his squire. With aiding the Grandmaster with various meager tasks, he was rewarded with sword fighting technique and useful advices in the arts of warfare.<br />
<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">1567 - 1574===<br />
<br />
Once Bartolomeo reached the age of 16, Manfredi finally declared that the young squire was old enough to officially become a knight and member of the order. It was then where his training came to good use but also new techniques and tricks were to be learned, as the knights specialized against repelling pirates but mostly dealt against miqo'te tribesmen that were present beyond the city walls. <br />
<br />
The knights in the order were trained to overcome the odds against a fearsome and outnumbering fighting force of tribals that could always besiege the city. Due to their specialty in fighting against miqo'tes, the people in Jeridia informally refered these knights as "Coeurlslayers", due to the similar ears and tails that both the miqo'te and coeurl have.<br />
<br />
Tensions finally began to grow thicker between the tribals and the kingdom of Jeridia. King Pandolfo the 'Careless' held interest to finally expand his realm by eliminating the nearby tribes. The King officially declared war after a group of Jeridian merchants were seen gruesomely murdered outside the city by a mob of tribals.<br />
<br />
Manfredi and his knightly order were dispatched outside the city. For the entirety of his young adulthood, Bartolomeo had to soak his blade with the blood of miqo'te in order to place his efforts for the order and the war. The order had to sack camps, various tribal settlements that were present throughout the island and win overwhelming battles in the middle of a tropical forest. By the end of the whole war, the population of miqo'te had dropped almost by fifty percent.<br />
<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">1574 - 1577===<br />
<br />
A year after the war had concluded, new issues began to grow within Jeridia's court. A claim for the throne was brought forth by House Tavelli, and therefore blackmailed to place their leader, Giovanni Tavelli, into power. King Pandolfo, as rentless and careless as he was renowned for, denied the accussations. This started a war in the streets of Jeridia's capital, yet the odds seemed hopeless for Tavelli's end in the beginning.<br />
<br />
Through schemes and conspiracies that had been planned throughout the war, House Tavelli managed to create a chain of uprisings by giving the defeated miqo'te words of hope and freedom. Other noble houses also remained in the midst of the plot for diverse reasons and formerly patriotic houses ended up joining the revolutionaries.<br />
<br />
After a few months the tides had turned, the King's loyalists were outmatched, including the order Bartolomeo was with. Francesco and Lorenzo, Bartolomeo's father and brother, were killed by a mob of nobleman in the streets. His mother Iolanda was barricaded in her own villa and burnt alive. <br />
<br />
Eventually the bloodshed would end with the beheadment of both Manfredi and Pandolfo. Those loyal who survived the carnage were either imprisoned, executed or spared if the price was proper. Bartolomeo was casted into an oubliette and remained trapped in there for a whole cycle.<br />
<br />
By year 1577, Bartolomeo was brought forth to the newly reformed court of the Republic of Jeridia. The monarchy was no longer present as it was now a council that governed Jeridia. The laws had been reformed, slavery was abolished, and the head of the council was known as a Doge. <br />
<br />
Giulio Filangieri, Bartolomeo's uncle, had managed to pay the Doge a ransom to have Bartolomeo liberated from his cell. The only drawback over than payment was to banish Bartolomeo from the realm of Jeridia and to never return...<br />
<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">1577 - Present===<br />
<br />
Ever since his exile, Bartolomeo arrived in Ul'dah, with but a bronze plate that covered his torso and lacked refine. He was brought upon an order known as Arcadeus and encountered Anelia Sadowyn, a paladin of the Sultanate of Ul'dah. Intrigued by Anelia's ideals, the worn and former prisoner recollected plenty of what he previously did under the knighthood of Manfredi's order. Eventually, after a dispute, Bartolomeo left Arcadeus and remained independant. <br />
<br />
His uncle Giulio Filangieri provided Bartolomeo with gil and riches from Jeridia, with little hesitation did he invested on the still devastated knight. Bartolomeo's funding continued until Giulio was branded a traitor of the Jeridian republic and fled to Thanalan to meet with his nephew. When offering Bartolomeo a crate of riches, Ludovico Tavelli and a small group of mercenaries arrived. A battle ensued, Giulio perished in the battle, but as did Ludovico and his men thanks to Bartolomeo's blade.<br />
<br />
Bartolomeo became affiliated to a few free companies and eventually, thanks to the influence of Anelia Sadowyn, managed to become a paladin in the Sultansworn. Eventually such was not his fate, as later events made him distrust Ul'dahn politics entirely. He kept ties with Ul'dah and performed investigations for a shadow organisation that functioned with the Immortal Flames. <br />
<br />
He spoked with an Ishgardian noblewoman throughout his time, and her words brought forth a seed of ambition deep inside Bartolomeo's mind. For months Bartolomeo had been planning in ways to restore House Filangieri, where all of its members were either killed or exiled. Eventually, thanks to the influence of an inquisitor that he had acquainted with, House Rontremont offered to restore his legacy by having him undertake a desperate mission to slay a dragon which was under the form of a miqo'te slave. <br />
<br />
Through days of swift planning Bartolomeo managed to eliminate the dragon, with the help of others. Lord Rontremont was pleased at the result and relieved that Bartolomeo had shown capability in fighting against the Dravinian Horde. As promised, the Lord turned Bartolomeo into his vassal but as well rendered him as Lord and noble. Bartolomeo renounced all allegiance to any other city-state. He swore fealty to House Rontremont and the Holy See, and swore to shift his faith towards that of the Ishgardian Orthodox Church.<br />
<br />
==<div style="font-size: 20px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">House Filangieri==<br />
<br />
<center>[[File:FilangieriSigil.png|220 px]]<br><br><br />
<big>''"With Sanctimony and Fidelity" <br><small>~Family motto since the foundation of the Ishgardian chapter</small>''</big><br />
</center><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
House Filangieri, its foundations date back throughout lost history where midlander clans conquered the eastern coast of the Jeridian island and then to when the Kingdom was born. No one knows of the predecessors of House Filangieri, other than the two final leaders of the Jeridian nobility, Francesco and Giulio Filangieri, whom both were killed by the rival House Tavelli, back on Jeridia. The Jeridian chapter of House Filangieri was rendered infamous for its power in the slave industry, miqo'te slaves taken from sacked tribal encampments were their main source of income and as well what gave them a dominating presence in the former Kingdom of Jeridia. Eventually, the King's rule was usurped and slavery was rendered a crime, House Filangieri was highly crippled by the end of the war, with Francesco murdered and Giulio left to rule the house alone. Giulio's death only rendered the Jeridian chapter of House Filangieri to extinction.<br />
<br />
Bartolomeo was offered a chance to restore his family name underneath Ishgard's banners, his title would be renewed but he would also fall as becoming a vassal of Lord Rontremont. Bartolomeo was told by House Rontremont in order to restore his family name, he had to slay a dragon shapeshifted as a false miqo'te concubine amongst the seeker "Antelope Tribe". Through a bloody moon Bartolomeo managed to have the dragon slain, eventually resulting in the restoration of House Filangieri, now as an Ishgardian chapter. Alas, due to foreign roots, any in House Filangieri are still not permitted to go beyond Ishgard's gates.<br />
<br />
[[File:CleanCoatFilangieri.png|thumb|right|120px| <span style="color:#000000">Jeridian House Filangieri's sigil.</span>]]<br />
<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">Sigil===<br />
<br />
The sigil of the Jeridian chapter of House Filangieri was that of a black and gold wolf, representing the hard industry that the family once delegated. Bartolomeo however when he had his name restored, changed the sigil to that of a human hand in a pose of benediction. The meaning of such signifies pledge of faith, sincerity, and justice. <br />
<br />
The colors of House Filangieri's coat of arms follows a similar scheme as it has for generations. The black representing constancy, while the gold represents generosity and elevation of mind.<br />
<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">Philosophy===<br />
<br />
House Filangieri's religious beliefs are of course influenced from the Ishgardian Orthodox Church. Those who are infidelious to their oaths, faith, loved ones or lieges - are declared as rivals to House Filangieri. Righteousness and justice are what they seek. If an action makes a mockery of law without a sanctimonious motive, then such culprit can be recognized by the House as an infidel.<br />
<br />
If a member of House Filangieri is declared an infidel, depending on the severity of the crime it can lead to banishment or in extreme cases, death or torture. Fidelity and righteousness is a must beneath the shroud of House Filangieri.<br />
<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">Fiefs===<br />
<br />
House Filangieri presently controls and occupies the fief of Castle Greywall, located within a secluded center of the Coerthas Highlands. It is the current place of residence of Lord Bartolomeo Filangieri.<br />

==<div style="font-size: 20px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">Basic Info ==<br />
<br />
Bartolomeo Filangieri (pronounced /Bar-toll-o-mayo/ /Fee-lan-gie-érie/) is a midlander hyur born from a noble family in the Kingdom of Jeridia, an island in the middle of the Rhotano Sea. His nameday is on the 16th Sun of 6th Astral Moon.<br />
<br />
At a young age Bartolomeo was inducted in a knightly order dedicated in eradicating miqo'te tribes that harrassed the Jeridian locals. Informally, those in the order were known as "Coeurlslayers" due to their specialty in dealing with the local tribes.<br />
<br />
After a civil war in his nation, the order Bartolomeo served in collapsed after the result of its Grandmaster being executed. The knights and Bartolomeo were imprisoned and considered as war criminals of the entire realm. <br />
<br />
After heavy convincing from his surviving uncle, the new Doge of Jeridia decided to spare Bartolomeo a lifetime in an oubliette and therefore exiled him from the realm, sending him forth to Eorzea to start his life anew. <br />
<br />
With time Bartolomeo settled in the metropolis of Ul'dah and through new contacts managed to get referred into the Sultansworn. Due to his sanctimonious nature, Bartolomeo eventually broke off with the Sultansworn and became an independant knight.<br />
<br />
As time passed, Bartolomeo eventually proved himself to an Ishgardian noble family and had his family House restored but under the Holy See's delegation.<br />
<br />
==<div style="font-size: 20px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">Appearance and Character==<br />
<br />
For a midlander, Bartolomeo can be described as strapping, tall, and broad shouldered. He is described as being particularly attractive, a trait that was found common in his family. Bartolomeo has gold, penetrating eyes that at times can make one wary during moments of silence. His head holds a properly groomed brown hair which often smells of fresh ointments. His face is always cleanly shaved on a daily basis, making the touch to his skin to be relatively smooth. He has hollow cheeks, dark circles beneath his eyes and thin lips.<br />
<br />
Bartolomeo is a serious, calm, stubborn and bold man. He believes in honoring the legacy of his family rather than discriminate against it as the new nobles of the Jeridian republic do. He believes in justice and being fidelious with his oaths when he can, he will not punish a man if he believes him to be innocent. <br />
<br />
Having spent most of his live in Jeridia fighting against miqo'te clans, Bartolomeo holds a distaste and wariness towards miqo'tes he meets, even more so if they are tribal. The man also holds a great distaste towards Eorzean and Garlean customs, although he remains subtle about his views unless speaking in more subtle environments.<br />

<br />
<span class="mw-headline">''Most of Bartolomeo's family members were killed by the civil war that occurred in Jeridia, some might have survived the onslaught, but at the present Bartolomeo is the only known surviving member of House Filangieri.''</span><br />
<br />
:<span class="mw-headline">'''[[Francesco Filangieri]] (Father, deceased)&nbsp;''': Francesco hosted the most financially providing slave trade in the market of Jeridia. What was done to the slaves are often mystery, but when people used to question the man on the matter, he'd inform them to refer to them as servants rather than slaves. He allowed the masters of these miqo'te slaves to treat them under their jurisdictions, aslong as it did not "violate" Jeridian laws. The man was known in the Kingdom as an influential merchant, and at times aristocrat. Bartolomeo and his father however never managed to meet eye-to-eye, mainly because Francesco disregarded Bartolomeo as the chosen heir to House Filangieri was his older brother, Lorenzo. Once Bartolomeo served Manfredi's knightly order, Francesco stripped all titles from Bartolomeo but kept him in his court. Francesco perished during House Tavelli's civil war, when an angry mob of nobles stabbed him and his oldest son Lorenzo in the middle of the streets.</span><br/><br />
<br />
:<span class="mw-headline">'''[[Iolanda Acquarone]] (Mother, deceased)&nbsp;:''' Despite his father's negligence, Iolanda did not mind Bartolomeo's presence, and often gave him counsel for anything he needed. His mannerisms and acts of behaving like a "gentleman" or dressing formally were received by Iolanda. Although Bartolomeo never witnessed his mother's death, the family manor was barricaded and burnt to the ground while she still remained within it.</span><br/><br />
<br />
:<span class="mw-headline">'''[[Lorenzo Filangieri]] (Brother, deceased)&nbsp;:''' House Filangieri's future head was to be Lorenzo. Despite being arrogant, Lorenzo held great respect for his younger brother and did not hesitate to stand up for him if the event needed it so. Lorenzo was slain alongside his father during Giovanni's civil war.</span><br/><br />
<br />
:<span class="mw-headline">'''[[Giulio Filangieri]] (Uncle, deceased)&nbsp;: '''After the civil war ended, Giulio was the only survivor of House Filangieri that remained in Jeridia with few discrimination. When Bartolomeo was banished and began to reside in Ul'dah, Giulio communicated with him through letters to understand where his life had been taking him. With time Giulio told Bartolomeo that the Doge of Jeridia wished to seek audience and reinstate Bartolomeo's status as a noble. Although Bartolomeo ventured into Jeridia and refused to take part in nobility, Giulio had to plot his way to reclaiming his family's previous status. After Bartolomeo returned to Eorzea, Giulio started to fabricate claims which was shortly noticed by the Doge. The old man, had to escape the island and eventually get in touch with Bartolomeo in the middle of Thanalan. The meeting resulted in a bloodbath after the Doge's cousin, Ludovico Tavelli, emerged with armed forces. Siha Xinkei, who was Bartolomeo's friend at the time, was present in the meeting and eventual combat and while she was nearly overwhelmed. Giulio managed to spare Siha a gruesome fate as he charged in and, unfortunately got killed in her place.</span><br/><br />

<br />
: <font style="color:#F02311;" size="3">♥</font> [[Tietra Mynhier]] : Erik Mynhier's lost sister met Bartolomeo within a ceremony that occured within the Red Wings' headquarters, barely before meeting one another, the woman rewarded Bartolomeo with various lewd remarks about his posterior. Shortly after, the pair met again and ventured out together to talk outside Ul'dah's walls. Still did the woman resume her lewdness, the man grew to take a liking in her, falling under her wave of charm and alluring nature. He accompanied her while he went off towards his campaign for House Rontremont in the Black Shroud. Through petty arguments and personal conversations, the man grew to fancy the woman even further, eventually the two began to hold a highly intimate relationship. After his reward in winning against the Dravanian infiltrator in the Antelope Tribe, Bartolomeo ventured back to Ul'dah in the most subtle of manners to smuggle the young woman to Castle Greywall with him, declaring his love for her officially.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Askier Mergrey]] : Once known as a terrorist in Ul'dah, while his beloved was held as a hostage by Garleans, the miqo'te managed to gain Bartolomeo's approval as he rescued the man while a band of assassins nearly ended his life. Furthermore, he did so out of kindness, thus proving that tales of his callousness are somewhat exaggerated.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Kale Aideron]] : A soldier of Ul'dah who works with the Brass Blades and the Syndicate. The man first met Bartolomeo in the Grindstone tournament during his time as a free paladin. The two befriended one another as they did not hesitate to watch each other's backs during a conflict in the Quicksand. The man has not met Kale in awhile, but prays to do so in the near future.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Seiletta Rougefeather]] : The elezen Seiletta is one that had encountered Bartolomeo throughout several situations, since his time in Ul'dah and his various trips towards Gridannia. The elezen once aided Bartolomeo in dealing against a group of Ishgardian knights who found the former paladin's presence to be entirely suspicious. With time, the two met again once Bartolomeo became an Ishgardian nobleman.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Xydane Vale]] : Xydane met Bartolomeo during his battle against a dragon in the Black Shroud. His timely appearance certified the favor of the battle to go towards Bartolomeo's end. Bartolomeo and Xydane both were heading towards the direction of Coerthas and during their voyage both shared stories of their past. Intrigued and impressed, Xydane is one of the few that Bartolomeo knows that can be relied upon.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> [[Anelia Sadowyn]] : Anelia was one of the first paladins Bartolomeo had ever set eyes upon in Ul'dah, in reality he was the first ally he held dearly until he departed from Arcadeus. Upon reuniting Anelia offered to refer Bartolomeo into the Sultansworn to undertake its trials. Bartolomeo throughout his later encounters of her ended up assisting her against a monetarist plot in Western Thanalan. Once Bartolomeo left the Sultansworn however, Anelia and Bartolomeo's idealisms clashed, causing a sour taste to emerge Bartolomeo's mouth. Ever since, the two have not spoken.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> [[Siha Xinkei]] : Siha and Bartolomeo met first in Arcadeus, and ever since became close friends throughout his earlier days in Eorzea. The pair were growing close, but eventually their friendship was tarnished while Bartolomeo undertook a mission for the Sultansworn to retrieve a stolen tome. A strong disagreement between Bartolomeo and a crimelord, who was also Siha's friend at the time ensued. The two met each other again a few moons later, this time on better terms, but Bartolomeo still believes that they will forever hold conflicting sets of beliefs.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> [[Bell Ebonwing]] : Bartolomeo's first lover, a miqo'te keeper, raised in the streets of Ul'dah. Bartolomeo's first "mating" was with Bell, a revolutionary act in the former virgin's history. Due to dire circumstances in Ul'dah, the two did not stay with one another. Since their seperation, Bartolomeo shows inability in speaking to her without demonstrating disregard.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> [[Coatleque Crofte]] : The most loyal knight he has met in Eorzea thus far. The two hold differing beliefs and since his departure from the Sultansworn the two have been forever distant from one another. Due to her young age, Bartolomeo doesn't believe that Coatleque carries enough wisdom or if any on that regards.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> [[Jancis Milburga]] : The most gentle of ladies that Bartolomeo has ever settled eyes on, her desire to aid when the two used to encounter one another brought a sense of warmth to Bartolomeo's heart. Alas, her desire to help others, even those who are unjust, had once made Bartolomeo concerned of her good health.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> [[Rivienne Delacroux]] : Bartolomeo encountered Rivienne during a voyage around the Black Shroud. Bartolomeo remains wary of the woodlander's motives and feels uncomfortable when she is present. Rivienne's preference of the wilds over the city brought forth a great deal of inquiries from Bartolomeo. The man would not neglect the fact that the woman carries an exotic charm and beauty that can smite a person deeply.<br />

<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">1549 - 1567===<br />
<br />
Bartolomeo's life began in his family's villa deep within the capital of the Kingdom of Jeridia, an island based in the Rhotano sea. He was the youngest child of Lord Francesco Filangieri and Iolanda Acquarone. His family was highly regarded and generated a high level of influence within the nobility and the crown of Jeridia. House Filangieri's wealth came from the constant exportation of fish and resources, but most of its profit came from the ever dominant slave market that was permitted in the entire island. All of the slaves caught or sold consisted of miqo'tes tribesmen or woman that were found outside of the city's walls. This fortune made Francesco Filangieri highly renowned and decorated throughout Jeridia.<br />
<br />
Francesco determined that the heir to House Filangieri was to be Bartolomeo's older brother, Lorenzo. Thus, Lorenzo was tutored by his father to follow his path. Francesco neglected Bartolomeo, making him carve another path that was different from the rest of his family.<br />
<br />
Noticing Bartolomeo's passion in old tales of knights and chivalry, Francesco had the Grandmaster of the Knights of Jeridia take forth Bartolomeo and mentor him. The old Grandmaster accepted and taught the boy the chivalric code, the Twelve and from there made the young Bartolomeo develop a strong zeal for his culture and beliefs. <br />
<br />
Once reaching the age of 12, Manfredi brought Bartolomeo as his squire. With aiding the Grandmaster with various meager tasks, he was rewarded with sword fighting technique and useful advices in the arts of warfare.<br />
<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">1567 - 1574===<br />
<br />
Once Bartolomeo reached the age of 16, Manfredi finally declared that the young squire was old enough to officially become a knight and member of the order. It was then where his training came to good use but also new techniques and tricks were to be learned, as the knights specialized against repelling pirates but mostly dealt against miqo'te tribesmen that were present beyond the city walls. <br />
<br />
The knights in the order were trained to overcome the odds against a fearsome and outnumbering fighting force of tribals that could always besiege the city. Due to their specialty in fighting against miqo'tes, the people in Jeridia informally refered these knights as "Coeurlslayers", due to the similar ears and tails that both the miqo'te and coeurl have.<br />
<br />
Tensions finally began to grow thicker between the tribals and the kingdom of Jeridia. King Pandolfo the 'Careless' held interest to finally expand his realm by eliminating the nearby tribes. The King officially declared war after a group of Jeridian merchants were seen gruesomely murdered outside the city by a mob of tribals.<br />
<br />
Manfredi and his knightly order were dispatched outside the city. For the entirety of his young adulthood, Bartolomeo had to soak his blade with the blood of miqo'te in order to place his efforts for the order and the war. The order had to sack camps, various tribal settlements that were present throughout the island and win overwhelming battles in the middle of a tropical forest. By the end of the whole war, the population of miqo'te had dropped almost by fifty percent.<br />
<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">1574 - 1577===<br />
<br />
A year after the war had concluded, new issues began to grow within Jeridia's court. A claim for the throne was brought forth by House Tavelli, and therefore blackmailed to place their leader, Giovanni Tavelli, into power. King Pandolfo, as rentless and careless as he was renowned for, denied the accussations. This started a war in the streets of Jeridia's capital, yet the odds seemed hopeless for Tavelli's end in the beginning.<br />
<br />
Through schemes and conspiracies that had been planned throughout the war, House Tavelli managed to create a chain of uprisings by giving the defeated miqo'te words of hope and freedom. Other noble houses also remained in the midst of the plot for diverse reasons and formerly patriotic houses ended up joining the revolutionaries.<br />
<br />
After a few months the tides had turned, the King's loyalists were outmatched, including the order Bartolomeo was with. Francesco and Lorenzo, Bartolomeo's father and brother, were killed by a mob of nobleman in the streets. His mother Iolanda was barricaded in her own villa and burnt alive. <br />
<br />
Eventually the bloodshed would end with the beheadment of both Manfredi and Pandolfo. Those loyal who survived the carnage were either imprisoned, executed or spared if the price was proper. Bartolomeo was casted into an oubliette and remained trapped in there for a whole cycle.<br />
<br />
By year 1577, Bartolomeo was brought forth to the newly reformed court of the Republic of Jeridia. The monarchy was no longer present as it was now a council that governed Jeridia. The laws had been reformed, slavery was abolished, and the head of the council was known as a Doge. <br />
<br />
Giulio Filangieri, Bartolomeo's uncle, had managed to pay the Doge a ransom to have Bartolomeo liberated from his cell. The only drawback over than payment was to banish Bartolomeo from the realm of Jeridia and to never return...<br />
<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">1577 - Present===<br />
<br />
Ever since his exile, Bartolomeo arrived in Ul'dah, with but a bronze plate that covered his torso and lacked refine. He was brought upon an order known as Arcadeus and encountered Anelia Sadowyn, a paladin of the Sultanate of Ul'dah. Intrigued by Anelia's ideals, the worn and former prisoner recollected plenty of what he previously did under the knighthood of Manfredi's order. Eventually, after a dispute, Bartolomeo left Arcadeus and remained independant. <br />
<br />
His uncle Giulio Filangieri provided Bartolomeo with gil and riches from Jeridia, with little hesitation did he invested on the still devastated knight. Bartolomeo's funding continued until Giulio was branded a traitor of the Jeridian republic and fled to Thanalan to meet with his nephew. When offering Bartolomeo a crate of riches, Ludovico Tavelli and a small group of mercenaries arrived. A battle ensued, Giulio perished in the battle, but as did Ludovico and his men thanks to Bartolomeo's blade.<br />
<br />
Bartolomeo became affiliated to a few free companies and eventually, thanks to the influence of Anelia Sadowyn, managed to become a paladin in the Sultansworn. Eventually such was not his fate, as later events made him distrust Ul'dahn politics entirely. He kept ties with Ul'dah and performed investigations for a shadow organisation that functioned with the Immortal Flames. <br />
<br />
He spoked with an Ishgardian noblewoman throughout his time, and her words brought forth a seed of ambition deep inside Bartolomeo's mind. For months Bartolomeo had been planning in ways to restore House Filangieri, where all of its members were either killed or exiled. Eventually, thanks to the influence of an inquisitor that he had acquainted with, House Rontremont offered to restore his legacy by having him undertake a desperate mission to slay a dragon which was under the form of a miqo'te slave. <br />
<br />
Through days of swift planning Bartolomeo managed to eliminate the dragon, with the help of others. Lord Rontremont was pleased at the result and relieved that Bartolomeo had shown capability in fighting against the Dravinian Horde. As promised, the Lord turned Bartolomeo into his vassal but as well rendered him as Lord and noble. Bartolomeo renounced all allegiance to any other city-state. He swore fealty to House Rontremont and the Holy See, and swore to shift his faith towards that of the Ishgardian Orthodox Church.<br />
<br />

<br />

<big>''"With Sanctimony and Fidelity" <br><small>~Family motto since the foundation of the Ishgardian chapter</small>''</big><br />
</center><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
House Filangieri, its foundations date back throughout lost history where midlander clans conquered the eastern coast of the Jeridian island and then to when the Kingdom was born. No one knows of the predecessors of House Filangieri, other than the two final leaders of the Jeridian nobility, Francesco and Giulio Filangieri, whom both were killed by the rival House Tavelli, back on Jeridia. The Jeridian chapter of House Filangieri was rendered infamous for its power in the slave industry, miqo'te slaves taken from sacked tribal encampments were their main source of income and as well what gave them a dominating presence in the former Kingdom of Jeridia. Eventually, the King's rule was usurped and slavery was rendered a crime, House Filangieri was highly crippled by the end of the war, with Francesco murdered and Giulio left to rule the house alone. Giulio's death only rendered the Jeridian chapter of House Filangieri to extinction.<br />
<br />
Bartolomeo was offered a chance to restore his family name underneath Ishgard's banners, his title would be renewed but he would also fall as becoming a vassal of Lord Rontremont. Bartolomeo was told by House Rontremont in order to restore his family name, he had to slay a dragon shapeshifted as a false miqo'te concubine amongst the seeker "Antelope Tribe". Through a bloody moon Bartolomeo managed to have the dragon slain, eventually resulting in the restoration of House Filangieri, now as an Ishgardian chapter. Alas, due to foreign roots, any in House Filangieri are still not permitted to go beyond Ishgard's gates.<br />
<br />
[[File:CleanCoatFilangieri.png|thumb|right|120px| <span style="color:#000000">Jeridian House Filangieri's sigil.</span>]]<br />
<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">Sigil===<br />
<br />
The sigil of the Jeridian chapter of House Filangieri was that of a black and gold wolf, representing the hard industry that the family once delegated. Bartolomeo however when he had his name restored, changed the sigil to that of a human hand in a pose of benediction. The meaning of such signifies pledge of faith, sincerity, and justice. <br />
<br />
The colors of House Filangieri's coat of arms follows a similar scheme as it has for generations. The black representing constancy, while the gold represents generosity and elevation of mind.<br />
<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">Philosophy===<br />
<br />
House Filangieri's religious beliefs are of course influenced from the Ishgardian Orthodox Church. Those who are infidelious to their oaths, faith, loved ones or lieges - are declared as rivals to House Filangieri. Righteousness and justice are what they seek. If an action makes a mockery of law without a sanctimonious motive, then such culprit can be recognized by the House as an infidel.<br />
<br />
If a member of House Filangieri is declared an infidel, depending on the severity of the crime it can lead to banishment or in extreme cases, death or torture. Fidelity and righteousness is a must beneath the shroud of House Filangieri.<br />
<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">Fiefs===<br />
<br />
House Filangieri presently controls and occupies the fief of Castle Greywall, located within a secluded center of the Coerthas Highlands. It is the current place of residence of Lord Bartolomeo Filangieri.<br />

==<div style="font-size: 20px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">Basic Info ==<br />
<br />
Bartolomeo Filangieri (pronounced /Bar-toll-o-mayo/ /Fee-lan-gie-érie/) is a midlander hyur born from a noble family in the Kingdom of Jeridia, an island in the middle of the Rhotano Sea. His nameday is on the 16th Sun of 6th Astral Moon.<br />
<br />
At a young age Bartolomeo was inducted in a knightly order dedicated in eradicating miqo'te tribes that harrassed the Jeridian locals. Informally, those in the order were known as "Coeurlslayers" due to their specialty in dealing with the local tribes.<br />
<br />
After a civil war in his nation, the order Bartolomeo served in collapsed after the result of its Grandmaster being executed. The knights and Bartolomeo were imprisoned and considered as war criminals of the entire realm. <br />
<br />
After heavy convincing from his surviving uncle, the new Doge of Jeridia decided to spare Bartolomeo a lifetime in an oubliette and therefore exiled him from the realm, sending him forth to Eorzea to start his life anew. <br />
<br />
With time Bartolomeo settled in the metropolis of Ul'dah and through new contacts managed to get referred into the Sultansworn. Due to his sanctimonious nature, Bartolomeo eventually broke off with the Sultansworn and became an independant knight.<br />
<br />
As time passed, Bartolomeo eventually proved himself to an Ishgardian noble family and had his family House restored but under the Holy See's delegation.<br />
<br />
==<div style="font-size: 20px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">Appearance and Character==<br />
<br />
For a midlander, Bartolomeo can be described as strapping, tall, and broad shouldered. He is described as being particularly attractive, a trait that was found common in his family. Bartolomeo has gold, penetrating eyes that at times can make one wary during moments of silence. His head holds a properly groomed brown hair which often smells of fresh ointments. His face is always cleanly shaved on a daily basis, making the touch to his skin to be relatively smooth. He has hollow cheeks, dark circles beneath his eyes and thin lips.<br />
<br />
Bartolomeo is a serious, calm, stubborn and bold man. He believes in honoring the legacy of his family rather than discriminate against it as the new nobles of the Jeridian republic do. He believes in justice and being fidelious with his oaths when he can, he will not punish a man if he believes him to be innocent. <br />
<br />
Having spent most of his live in Jeridia fighting against miqo'te clans, Bartolomeo holds a distaste and wariness towards miqo'tes he meets, even more so if they are tribal. The man also holds a great distaste towards Eorzean and Garlean customs, although he remains subtle about his views unless speaking in more subtle environments.<br />

<span class="mw-headline">''Most of Bartolomeo's family members were killed by the civil war that occurred in Jeridia, some might have survived the onslaught, but at the present Bartolomeo is the only known surviving member of House Filangieri.''</span><br />
<br />
:<span class="mw-headline">'''[[Francesco Filangieri]] (Father, deceased)&nbsp;''': Francesco hosted the most financially providing slave trade in the market of Jeridia. What was done to the slaves are often mystery, but when people used to question the man on the matter, he'd inform them to refer to them as servants rather than slaves. He allowed the masters of these miqo'te slaves to treat them under their jurisdictions, aslong as it did not "violate" Jeridian laws. The man was known in the Kingdom as an influential merchant, and at times aristocrat. Bartolomeo and his father however never managed to meet eye-to-eye, mainly because Francesco disregarded Bartolomeo as the chosen heir to House Filangieri was his older brother, Lorenzo. Once Bartolomeo served Manfredi's knightly order, Francesco stripped all titles from Bartolomeo but kept him in his court. Francesco perished during House Tavelli's civil war, when an angry mob of nobles stabbed him and his oldest son Lorenzo in the middle of the streets.</span><br/><br />
<br />
:<span class="mw-headline">'''[[Iolanda Acquarone]] (Mother, deceased)&nbsp;:''' Despite his father's negligence, Iolanda did not mind Bartolomeo's presence, and often gave him counsel for anything he needed. His mannerisms and acts of behaving like a "gentleman" or dressing formally were received by Iolanda. Although Bartolomeo never witnessed his mother's death, the family manor was barricaded and burnt to the ground while she still remained within it.</span><br/><br />
<br />
:<span class="mw-headline">'''[[Lorenzo Filangieri]] (Brother, deceased)&nbsp;:''' House Filangieri's future head was to be Lorenzo. Despite being arrogant, Lorenzo held great respect for his younger brother and did not hesitate to stand up for him if the event needed it so. Lorenzo was slain alongside his father during Giovanni's civil war.</span><br/><br />
<br />
:<span class="mw-headline">'''[[Giulio Filangieri]] (Uncle, deceased)&nbsp;: '''After the civil war ended, Giulio was the only survivor of House Filangieri that remained in Jeridia with few discrimination. When Bartolomeo was banished and began to reside in Ul'dah, Giulio communicated with him through letters to understand where his life had been taking him. With time Giulio told Bartolomeo that the Doge of Jeridia wished to seek audience and reinstate Bartolomeo's status as a noble. Although Bartolomeo ventured into Jeridia and refused to take part in nobility, Giulio had to plot his way to reclaiming his family's previous status. After Bartolomeo returned to Eorzea, Giulio started to fabricate claims which was shortly noticed by the Doge. The old man, had to escape the island and eventually get in touch with Bartolomeo in the middle of Thanalan. The meeting resulted in a bloodbath after the Doge's cousin, Ludovico Tavelli, emerged with armed forces. Siha Xinkei, who was Bartolomeo's friend at the time, was present in the meeting and eventual combat and while she was nearly overwhelmed. Giulio managed to spare Siha a gruesome fate as he charged in and, unfortunately got killed in her place.</span><br/><br />

<br />
: <font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> [[Anelia Sadowyn]] : Anelia was one of the first paladins Bartolomeo had ever set eyes upon in Ul'dah, in reality he was the first ally he held dearly until he departed from Arcadeus. Upon reuniting Anelia offered to refer Bartolomeo into the Sultansworn to undertake its trials. Bartolomeo throughout his later encounters of her ended up assisting her against a monetarist plot in Western Thanalan. Once Bartolomeo left the Sultansworn however, Anelia and Bartolomeo's idealisms clashed, causing a sour taste to emerge Bartolomeo's mouth. Ever since, the two have not spoken.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> [[Siha Xinkei]] : Siha and Bartolomeo met first in Arcadeus, and ever since became close friends throughout his earlier days in Eorzea. The pair were growing close, but eventually their friendship was tarnished while Bartolomeo undertook a mission for the Sultansworn to retrieve a stolen tome. A strong disagreement between Bartolomeo and a crimelord, who was also Siha's friend at the time ensued. The two met each other again a few moons later, this time on better terms, but Bartolomeo still believes that they will forever hold conflicting sets of beliefs.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> [[Bell Ebonwing]] : Bartolomeo's first lover, a miqo'te keeper, raised in the streets of Ul'dah. Bartolomeo's first "mating" was with Bell, a revolutionary act in the former virgin's history. Due to dire circumstances in Ul'dah, the two did not stay with one another. Since their seperation, Bartolomeo shows inability in speaking to her without demonstrating disregard.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> [[Coatleque Crofte]] : The most loyal knight he has met in Eorzea thus far. The two hold differing beliefs and since his departure from the Sultansworn the two have been forever distant from one another. Due to her young age, Bartolomeo doesn't believe that Coatleque carries enough wisdom or if any on that regards.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> [[Jancis Milburga]] : The most gentle of ladies that Bartolomeo has ever settled eyes on, her desire to aid when the two used to encounter one another brought a sense of warmth to Bartolomeo's heart. Alas, her desire to help others, even those who are unjust, had once made Bartolomeo concerned of her good health.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Askier Mergrey]] : Once known as a terrorist in Ul'dah, while his beloved was held as a hostage by Garleans, the miqo'te managed to gain Bartolomeo's approval as he rescued the man while a band of assassins nearly ended his life. Furthermore, he did so out of kindness, thus proving that tales of his callousness are somewhat exaggerated.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> [[Rivienne Delacroux]] : Bartolomeo encountered Rivienne during a voyage around the Black Shroud. Bartolomeo remains wary of the woodlander's motives and feels uncomfortable when she is present. Rivienne's preference of the wilds over the city brought forth a great deal of inquiries from Bartolomeo. The man would not neglect the fact that the woman carries an exotic charm and beauty that can smite a person deeply.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Xydane Vale]] : Xydane met Bartolomeo during his battle against a dragon in the Black Shroud. His timely appearance certified the favor of the battle to go towards Bartolomeo's end. Bartolomeo and Xydane both were heading towards the direction of Coerthas and during their voyage both shared stories of their past. Intrigued and impressed, Xydane is one of the few that Bartolomeo knows that can be relied upon.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Kale Aideron]] : A soldier of Ul'dah who works with the Brass Blades and the Syndicate. The man first met Bartolomeo in the Grindstone tournament during his time as a free paladin. The two befriended one another as they did not hesitate to watch each other's backs during a conflict in the Quicksand. The man has not met Kale in awhile, but prays to do so in the near future.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Seiletta Rougefeather]] : The elezen Seiletta is one that had encountered Bartolomeo throughout several situations, since his time in Ul'dah and his various trips towards Gridannia. The elezen once aided Bartolomeo in dealing against a group of Ishgardian knights who found the former paladin's presence to be entirely suspicious. With time, the two met again once Bartolomeo became an Ishgardian nobleman.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#F02311;" size="3">♥</font> [[Tietra Mynhier]] : Erik Mynhier's lost sister met Bartolomeo within a ceremony that occured within the Red Wings' headquarters, barely before meeting one another, the woman rewarded Bartolomeo with various lewd remarks about his posterior. Shortly after, the pair met again and ventured out together to talk outside Ul'dah's walls. Still did the woman resume her lewdness, the man grew to take a liking in her, falling under her wave of charm and alluring nature. He accompanied her while he went off towards his campaign for House Rontremont in the Black Shroud. Through petty arguments and personal conversations, the man grew to fancy the woman even further, eventually the two began to hold a highly intimate relationship. After his reward in winning against the Dravanian infiltrator in the Antelope Tribe, Bartolomeo ventured back to Ul'dah in the most subtle of manners to smuggle the young woman to Castle Greywall with him, declaring his love for her officially.<br />

<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">1549 - 1567===<br />
<br />
Bartolomeo's life began in his family's villa deep within the capital of the Kingdom of Jeridia, an island based in the Rhotano sea. He was the youngest child of Lord Francesco Filangieri and Iolanda Acquarone. His family was highly regarded and generated a high level of influence within the nobility and the crown of Jeridia. House Filangieri's wealth came from the constant exportation of fish and resources, but most of its profit came from the ever dominant slave market that was permitted in the entire island. All of the slaves caught or sold consisted of miqo'tes tribesmen or woman that were found outside of the city's walls. This fortune made Francesco Filangieri highly renowned and decorated throughout Jeridia.<br />
<br />
Francesco determined that the heir to House Filangieri was to be Bartolomeo's older brother, Lorenzo. Thus, Lorenzo was tutored by his father to follow his path. Francesco neglected Bartolomeo, making him carve another path that was different from the rest of his family.<br />
<br />
Noticing Bartolomeo's passion in old tales of knights and chivalry, Francesco had the Grandmaster of the Knights of Jeridia take forth Bartolomeo and mentor him. The old Grandmaster accepted and taught the boy the chivalric code, the Twelve and from there made the young Bartolomeo develop a strong zeal for his culture and beliefs. <br />
<br />
Once reaching the age of 12, Manfredi brought Bartolomeo as his squire. With aiding the Grandmaster with various meager tasks, he was rewarded with sword fighting technique and useful advices in the arts of warfare.<br />
<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">1567 - 1574===<br />
<br />
Once Bartolomeo reached the age of 16, Manfredi finally declared that the young squire was old enough to officially become a knight and member of the order. It was then where his training came to good use but also new techniques and tricks were to be learned, as the knights specialized against repelling pirates but mostly dealt against miqo'te tribesmen that were present beyond the city walls. <br />
<br />
The knights in the order were trained to overcome the odds against a fearsome and outnumbering fighting force of tribals that could always besiege the city. Due to their specialty in fighting against miqo'tes, the people in Jeridia informally refered these knights as "Coeurlslayers", due to the similar ears and tails that both the miqo'te and coeurl have.<br />
<br />
Tensions finally began to grow thicker between the tribals and the kingdom of Jeridia. King Pandolfo the 'Careless' held interest to finally expand his realm by eliminating the nearby tribes. The King officially declared war after a group of Jeridian merchants were seen gruesomely murdered outside the city by a mob of tribals.<br />
<br />
Manfredi and his knightly order were dispatched outside the city. For the entirety of his young adulthood, Bartolomeo had to soak his blade with the blood of miqo'te in order to place his efforts for the order and the war. The order had to sack camps, various tribal settlements that were present throughout the island and win overwhelming battles in the middle of a tropical forest. By the end of the whole war, the population of miqo'te had dropped almost by fifty percent.<br />
<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">1574 - 1577===<br />
<br />
A year after the war had concluded, new issues began to grow within Jeridia's court. A claim for the throne was brought forth by House Tavelli, and therefore blackmailed to place their leader, Giovanni Tavelli, into power. King Pandolfo, as rentless and careless as he was renowned for, denied the accussations. This started a war in the streets of Jeridia's capital, yet the odds seemed hopeless for Tavelli's end in the beginning.<br />
<br />
Through schemes and conspiracies that had been planned throughout the war, House Tavelli managed to create a chain of uprisings by giving the defeated miqo'te words of hope and freedom. Other noble houses also remained in the midst of the plot for diverse reasons and formerly patriotic houses ended up joining the revolutionaries.<br />
<br />
After a few months the tides had turned, the King's loyalists were outmatched, including the order Bartolomeo was with. Francesco and Lorenzo, Bartolomeo's father and brother, were killed by a mob of nobleman in the streets. His mother Iolanda was barricaded in her own villa and burnt alive. <br />
<br />
Eventually the bloodshed would end with the beheadment of both Manfredi and Pandolfo. Those loyal who survived the carnage were either imprisoned, executed or spared if the price was proper. Bartolomeo was casted into an oubliette and remained trapped in there for a whole cycle.<br />
<br />
By year 1577, Bartolomeo was brought forth to the newly reformed court of the Republic of Jeridia. The monarchy was no longer present as it was now a council that governed Jeridia. The laws had been reformed, slavery was abolished, and the head of the council was known as a Doge. <br />
<br />
Giulio Filangieri, Bartolomeo's uncle, had managed to pay the Doge a ransom to have Bartolomeo liberated from his cell. The only drawback over than payment was to banish Bartolomeo from the realm of Jeridia and to never return...<br />
<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">1577 - Present===<br />
<br />
Ever since his exile, Bartolomeo arrived in Ul'dah, with but a bronze plate that covered his torso and lacked refine. He was brought upon an order known as Arcadeus and encountered Anelia Sadowyn, a paladin of the Sultanate of Ul'dah. Intrigued by Anelia's ideals, the worn and former prisoner recollected plenty of what he previously did under the knighthood of Manfredi's order. Eventually, after a dispute, Bartolomeo left Arcadeus and remained independant. <br />
<br />
His uncle Giulio Filangieri provided Bartolomeo with gil and riches from Jeridia, with little hesitation did he invested on the still devastated knight. Bartolomeo's funding continued until Giulio was branded a traitor of the Jeridian republic and fled to Thanalan to meet with his nephew. When offering Bartolomeo a crate of riches, Ludovico Tavelli and a small group of mercenaries arrived. A battle ensued, Giulio perished in the battle, but as did Ludovico and his men thanks to Bartolomeo's blade.<br />
<br />
Bartolomeo became affiliated to a few free companies and eventually, thanks to the influence of Anelia Sadowyn, managed to become a paladin in the Sultansworn. Eventually such was not his fate, as later events made him distrust Ul'dahn politics entirely. He kept ties with Ul'dah and performed investigations for a shadow organisation that functioned with the Immortal Flames. <br />
<br />
He spoked with an Ishgardian noblewoman throughout his time, and her words brought forth a seed of ambition deep inside Bartolomeo's mind. For months Bartolomeo had been planning in ways to restore House Filangieri, where all of its members were either killed or exiled. Eventually, thanks to the influence of an inquisitor that he had acquainted with, House Rontremont offered to restore his legacy by having him undertake a desperate mission to slay a dragon which was under the form of a miqo'te slave. <br />
<br />
Through days of swift planning Bartolomeo managed to eliminate the dragon, with the help of others. Lord Rontremont was pleased at the result and relieved that Bartolomeo had shown capability in fighting against the Dravinian Horde. As promised, the Lord turned Bartolomeo into his vassal but as well rendered him as Lord and noble. Bartolomeo renounced all allegiance to any other city-state. He swore fealty to House Rontremont and the Holy See, and swore to shift his faith towards that of the Ishgardian Orthodox Church.<br />
<br />

<br />
<center>[[File:FilangieriSigil.png|220 px]]<br><br><br />
<big>''"With Sanctimony and Fidelity" <br><small>~Family motto since the foundation of the Ishgardian chapter</small>''</big><br />
</center><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
House Filangieri, its foundations date back throughout lost history where midlander clans conquered the eastern coast of the Jeridian island and then to when the Kingdom was born. No one knows of the predecessors of House Filangieri, other than the two final leaders of the Jeridian nobility, Francesco and Giulio Filangieri, whom both were killed by the rival House Tavelli, back on Jeridia. The Jeridian chapter of House Filangieri was rendered infamous for its power in the slave industry, miqo'te slaves taken from sacked tribal encampments were their main source of income and as well what gave them a dominating presence in the former Kingdom of Jeridia. Eventually, the King's rule was usurped and slavery was rendered a crime, House Filangieri was highly crippled by the end of the war, with Francesco murdered and Giulio left to rule the house alone. Giulio's death only rendered the Jeridian chapter of House Filangieri to extinction.<br />
<br />
Bartolomeo was offered a chance to restore his family name underneath Ishgard's banners, his title would be renewed but he would also fall as becoming a vassal of Lord Rontremont. Bartolomeo was told by House Rontremont in order to restore his family name, he had to slay a dragon shapeshifted as a false miqo'te concubine amongst the seeker "Antelope Tribe". Through a bloody moon Bartolomeo managed to have the dragon slain, eventually resulting in the restoration of House Filangieri, now as an Ishgardian chapter. Alas, due to foreign roots, any in House Filangieri are still not permitted to go beyond Ishgard's gates.<br />
<br />
[[File:CleanCoatFilangieri.png|thumb|right|120px| <span style="color:#000000">Jeridian House Filangieri's sigil.</span>]]<br />
<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">Sigil===<br />
<br />
The sigil of the Jeridian chapter of House Filangieri was that of a black and gold wolf, representing the hard industry that the family once delegated. Bartolomeo however when he had his name restored, changed the sigil to that of a human hand in a pose of benediction. The meaning of such signifies pledge of faith, sincerity, and justice. <br />
<br />
The colors of House Filangieri's coat of arms follows a similar scheme as it has for generations. The black representing constancy, while the gold represents generosity and elevation of mind.<br />
<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">Philosophy===<br />
<br />
House Filangieri's religious beliefs are of course influenced from the Ishgardian Orthodox Church. Those who are infidelious to their oaths, faith, loved ones or lieges - are declared as rivals to House Filangieri. Righteousness and justice are what they seek. If an action makes a mockery of law without a sanctimonious motive, then such culprit can be recognized by the House as an infidel.<br />
<br />
If a member of House Filangieri is declared an infidel, depending on the severity of the crime it can lead to banishment or in extreme cases, death or torture. Fidelity and righteousness is a must beneath the shroud of House Filangieri.<br />
<br />
===<div style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 215, 143)">Fiefs===<br />
<br />
House Filangieri presently controls and occupies the fief of Castle Greywall, located within a secluded center of the Coerthas Highlands. It is the current place of residence of Lord Bartolomeo Filangieri.<br />
