Florius Novellius is the son of Numerius Novellius, and Auria Senopiana making him a baseborn member of House Novellius through his father, and a baseborn member of House Senopiana through his mother. Florius has several half siblings of which he has never met due to the fact that he is barred from returning to the Roman Empire where his family lives on pain of death.
Florius Novellius would be born the bastard love child of Auria Senopiana and Numerius Novellius of whom were both nobles in the town of Pisa where the affair causes a great stir in the city eventually leading to outright war between the two families when Numerius refused to accept the child. Florius would spend his earliest years on the run following the victory of House Novellius against House Senopiana and was saved by his mother who traveled north eventually spending time in Venice. While in Venice Auria would meet Timone Swift and would engage in an affair with him and this affair would lead to Timone secretly bringing Auria and her son Florius with him back to Brill. Following the death of Edgar Swift it was Timone Swift that became the Lord of House Swift and as he engaged in his affair with Auria Senopiana his mother took control of House Swift and arranged a marriage of Timone to Theresa Crane, and by the time Timone realized what was happening Theresa and her family had arrived in Brill for the marriage. The weak willed Timone would be unable to resist his mothers wishes and would marry Theresa thus leaving Auria pregnant and with no options but another base born birth. Without options a pregnant Auria would attempt to murder Theresa and take control of House Swift but was stopped by Liarra Swift and the two engaged in a brutal fight which left both dead a scene which Timone would come upon leaving Timone to care for Auria's son Florius taking him on as a ward. Following the birth of Taylor Swift it would be Florius that was sent away to become a ward of Lord Rickard Karstark as an attempt by Timone Swift to protect Florius from what was increasingly becoming a hostile environment in Swiftvale for him. Timone Swift would visit Florius several times in the years that he was a ward in Karhold but each time for Florius it felt for him that Timone was looking at him more and more as a soldier and less and less like a son. Florius Novellius would return to Brill having reached eighteen and a completely changed man he discovered upon his return that he was forced to take on a new persona as to protect him from the hostility of Theresa Swift and thus under this new identity he realized that he would have to make a new life for himself. With the help of his father Timone he would become involved with the Circle of Magi and would serve for them in many missions but one of the first of these missions would be in the Fall of Alice Lovie. Florius through his work with the Circle of Magi would be tasked with assassinating Orival Crane in Brill but when the time to do the deed came the risk to Taylor Swift made him turn away and this would lead to his demotion in the Circle of Magi and the eventual Florian Affair where he was exiled to Forks by his father as a result. During the events of the Lucerne Civil War he was paid by the Kingdom of Bolten to assassinate members of the House Swift leadership, and specifically Taylor Swift. His attempt failed and following this attempted assassination of Taylor Swift he fled Lucerne, and fled eastward towards his benefactor in Bolten. Following the death of Roose Bolten Stephan would become extremely close to Ramsey Bolten becoming one of his primary soldiers and was responsible for atrocities in the northern Bolten village of Defrinia.

Life in Forks[]
Florius Novellius[]
The moment he slapped her everything changed. She realized in that moment that she was crazy to be staying in this situation and she simply put her hand to her cheek to shield herself from the pain before crying and trying to leave the room. As she pulled open the door she felt his hand on her arm of whom pulled her back into the room and tried to have his way with her. As his hands ran up her body she knew where this was going and she refused to accept this was going to happen to her, and so she lashed out at him. As he flew off of her she grabbed a pole from the corner and smacked him across the face knocking him unconscious. She then walked past his now motionless body and into the street where she stumbled her way towards Swan Keep where she hoped to find Bella Swan of whom she knew would protect her from his vengeance. Bella Steps In[]

Alice clung to Bella for sometime before she was finally calmed down enough to explain to Bella what had happened. She made Bella promise not to do anything about it, and Bella in a shocking move refused to let this go, and told Alice that the first chance she got she would be telling her father of whom she knew would have him removed from Forks. Alice attempted to make her change her mind but Bella wasn't going to change in her opinion of what she had to do, so Alice simply clung to Bella and prayed that nothing would happen. But she was wrong, and the moment that Alice went to sleep Bella left her room and went to see her father of whom was still awake. She told her father what had happened and her father did exactly what she knew he would do when he summoned him to Swan Keep to answer for his crimes.

Hallister had been attempting to find an individual in Brill who could be paid to kill members of House Swift in order to destabalize the loyalist section of the Kingdom of Lucerne.
During the events of the Lucernian Civil War the only effect the war had on Taylor was the influx of funds for her temple, and for this reason she was completely unprepared for the coming attack she would suffer during the final days of the conflict. While Taylor was in the House Swift estate she was attacked by Stephan De'Marco, who attempted to kill her after he had been bought off by the leadership of the Kingdom of Bolten.
