Prince Riocus, Duke of Roazhon (Riocus Alan Jor Brennus Lugotorix; b. 9 June 1962) is a member of the Gelonian Royal Family. He is the second child of King Robert IV and Alara of Ghant. At the time of his birth, he was third in line to the throne; he is currently eleventh.

He held the rank of Colonel, and currently the honorary rank of Brigadier in the Gelonian Royal Army. In 2005, he served as part of the Gelonian contingent to the allied coalition in the Polnitsan Civil War. He left active military service in 2007, though continues to serve as a key liaison between the Crown Council and the Gelonian Armed Forces. Riocus is patron to numerous charities, primarily relating to various veterans causes.

Riocus married Victoria of Siliniga, in 1985; the couple's marriage has often been subject to tabloid speculation. He carries out official engagements and foreign visits on behalf of his brother, King Arthur XI. He was created Duke of Roazhon in 1989. He served on the Crown Council as Chief-President from 2004 until 2006, and later as Deputy Chief Magistrate on the Crown Council's Standing Council of Chiefs and Clan Affairs.

Early life and education

Prince Riocus was born at Kastell Roue, in Oxonia, on 9 June 1965, the second child of then Robert, Duke of Oxonia and Alara of Ghant. He was baptized into the Church of Gelonia on 20 August 1965.

Like his siblings, Riocus was attended to by a governess for his early education. He was then educated by private tutors until the age of 15, when he was enrolled at Aberlour, a boarding school in coastal northern Gelonia. While at Aberlour, he spent a year at St Peter in Turenne for an exchange program. After earning his bac in 1980, he enrolled at University of Ghish where he pursued a degree in PPE. Upon returning to Gelonia after graduating in 1984, he joined the Royal Army.

Military service

1988 Brennia border crisis

In 1988, Gelonian nationalist groups took part in a series of terrorist attacks in Brennia, a Latin border city of majority Gelonian-speaking residents. On April 19, the GSB dressed members of the Gelonian Royal Army bombed a Latin government building in Brennia, killing three Latin Senators visiting the city. The attack prompted a political crisis between the countries and a brief military standoff. Riocus, a member of the Royal Army's 12th brigade, was stationed at Ranneg during the crisis. Though his presence in Ranneg was unknown to the public initially, it was leaked during the crisis, prompting King Robert IV to ask for Riocus to be withdrawn, though Riocus and government refused his withdrawal.

By April 22, Riocus was joined by King Robert IV in Ranneg, and eventually met with Latin Empress Diana Augusta, and Leo, Prince Consort to resolve the crisis. The crisis was resolved peacefully with the establishment of the Latin-Gelonian Council.

Polnitsan Civil War

Riocus was active military during the 2005 Polnitsan War, and was deployed along with Gelonian forces as part of the allied coalition. Riocus took part in the Second Battle of Módbrjóh. Riocus was recalled to Gelonia after his presence at the front was leaked to the press after the battle.

Court and government roles

Politics

Riocus is a self-described conservative, and has faced scrutiny for comments in support of Soudarded, a major right-wing political party. Ahead of the 2011 election, Riocus was seen campaigning for Soudarded candidates and accused of violating royal neutrality during elections. Riocus was a known a member of the College Conservatives as a student at University of Ghish.

Riocus has held various court roles, including a term as Chief-President of the Crown Council. Since 2010, he has served as Deputy Chief Magistrate on the Standing Council of Chiefs and Clan Affairs. Since beginning as Deputy Chief Magistrate, the Council has elevated 15 armigerous clans to clans of the name.

Business and charitable works

Riocus is considered an avid athlete, regularly participating in pick-up ice hockey, and golf. He hosts a weekly pick-up scrimmage at Dournfawr Civic Center, which often includes many prominent Gelonian figures, including X, Y, and Z.

Riocus is the founder and chief patron of a number of charities, including Veterans of Freedom of which he has served as Chairman since 2000. Riocus has sponsored scholarships at Aberlour, a Gelonian boarding school he attended, known as The Duke of Roazhon Award, which provides financial aid to students otherwise eligible to attend the school.

Courtship

Marriage to Victoria of Siliniga

On 9 November 1985, he married Victoria of Siliniga, the eldest daughter of King Peter II of Garima. Riocus was invested as Duke of Roazhon in the same ceremony, with letters patent issued by King Robert IV the previous day. It was the first creation of a new Duke of Roazhon since the 17th century. They courted briefly in 1983, until Riocus joined the Royal Army in 1984. A year later their engagement was announced after rumors of a failed courtship between Riocus and XXXX.

The marriage to Victoria was well received by Gelonians, along to his brother Arthur's first marriage to Loeiza Taneta, and widely cited as a "breath of fresh air for a family only focused on establishing prestige" by the Gelonian press. They have four children. The marriage reportedly became strained after Robert's birth, as rumors of affairs grew.
