Iliupersis filius Strenia follower of Verditius: Pater of Hephaestus.
Iphicles filius Diana follower of Merinita: Pater to Epulones.
Italos filius Psellos follower of Jerbiton: Remembered by mundanes as an 11th century philosopher, skilled dialectician, and imputed heretic who, at the imperial court, established a school of Platonism that advanced the work of integrating Christian with pagan Greek thought. His influence is still strong among Byzantine intellectuals and theologians.
To the Order Italos is much more. Trained by Psellos while he was located in Constantinople. Unfortunately master and filius soon became rivals, politically, intellectually, and magically.
Of Calabrian origin, Italus, after a period of court favour under the emperor Michael VII Ducas (1071-78), was suspected of treason while on a diplomatic mission to Italy but was later exonerated. With the exile of his tutor, Michael Psellus, he succeeded to the title first philosopher of Constantinople. In a synod of 1082 he was charged with rationalizing the Christian mysteries, particularly the ineffable manner of the God-man union in Christ, and with reviving the doctrines of the pre-existence and transmigration of souls, as enunciated by pre-Christian philosophers. Confined to a monastery, he publicly retracted any neo-pagan implications in his teaching and was consequently pardoned.
Italus' distinction in mundane circles derives from his attempt, in 93 short tracts, to synthesize Platonic metaphysics with Aristotelian logic. His work in hermetic circles contineud this work.
Italus and Psellos often feuded, and there is a major break in their philosopies. Italus's hermetic descedents have been in Thebes for the last 100-years, teaching and researching. They go through periods of political quiet, though it seems they are about to resurface in hermetic politics.
Italus went into Final Twilight in 1168.
Janus filius Lycaon follower of Jerbiton: Paren of Alexius. Janus had served brilliantly as an ambassador of the Theban Tribunal to the Levant and other Tribunals for over twenty-years (he passed his gauntlet in 1139). A member of Domus Trismegistus, Janus was valued as a diplomat, not only to other Tribunals but from his own covenant to others - so valued that he was offered membership to Domus Trismegistus after only sixteen years of service. In 1184 he followed through with his lifelong plans to travel the entire silkroad. Previous forays had brought him as far as Samarkand. Unfortunately, he did not get much further than that before mysteriously disappearing. This last detail has been under severe investigation by the Quaestoris, said investigation towards his filius and the Ex Miscellanea who returned with Alexius from the East. Janus, while Hellenic in political allegiance, had quite the reputation as be willing to embrace new ideas and he had significant contacts throughout the Levant and Rus. He had a great many of these among House Ex Miscellanea, a rarity. The mystery of his disappearance may never be explained.
