> His desire to learn all the mysteries of the house was his undoing as his rapidly growing hubris drove him to make both enemies and mistakes. His biggest one was that he got into a vendetta with a far more politically astute mage. In 1180 this came to a head. None outside the house know why he was expelled but it is widely known by those who study these things that he was forced to seek sanctuary with the Ordo Ex Miscellanea as an Orbus mage.
->Embittered and angry, Georgios swore off magic for years, refusing to work for anyone. Instead he immersed himself in mundane society and passing himself off as a student in Constantinople. His age and maturity did well for him and he quickly progressed to become the Greek Chair of Theology. He never went to tribunal and largely refused all contact with mages. Further, he refused to be part of any covenant, telling the redcaps that his was the Covenant of Georgios. Over time however, he became successful and wealthy as an academic and had finally begun to work magic again when he met his apprentice-to-be Alexios. He had also started an exhaustive study of the Dominion and its effects which was the subject of his only major book of arcane lore; a summa on the dominion that summarised all he had learned from years of study in Constantinople's libraries as well as his own observations.

+> Following the destruction of Constantinople, Georgios’ world was shattered again and he and his apprentice fled, practically penniless and without even copies of Georgios' own books let alone those they possessed. After a year of wandering, they settled in Bologna where Georgios' reputation allowed him to take the exams for Magister and then Doctor in short order (although he was seen with Rome suspicion due yo his orthodox practices and the fact he was not a priest). Given the perilous state of their finances and his desire to regain the life of luxury he had now lost twice, Georgios decided to quickly build his wealth back up through sales of magical items. He is the only wizard of the Order in Bologna now that Alexios has left but he still has no interest in involving himself with those who wronged him; the only tribunal he has attended since being forced from House Verditius was in 1214 when he presented his apprentice and then left immediately.
+
+> Georgios is generally sociable and enjoys using his wealth to host grand parties but only with non-hermetics. He gets on relatively well with ungifted redcaps but they and Alexios are about the only people within the order he is willing to have much to do with.

Covenant:
> The palazzo is protected by an Aegis of the Hearth. Georgios knows two versions of this spell, a magnitude 8 and a magnitude 5 version. he normally uses the magnitude 5 one on the entire palazzo but if necessary could put a more powerful ward around the smaller building that houses his laboratory and stay defended there.
-> Georgios has a few vis sources within the city and an insatiable appetite for vis. He mostly gets vis by selling magical items for just slightly less than the Verditius standard price and using the profits to fund his own efforts. He also has a personal vis source of rego pawns per year, a vim vis of small intellego, and creo sources he gathers from the university and two celestial-tainted sources of corpus he gathers from local churches. He is in competition with the learned magicians of Bologna for these and although this is mostly amicable, he has made some enemies among them due to his power and arrogance.

He also has a personal vis source of rego and has claimed within the order a small number of sources he has found in the city. He is in competition with the learned magicians of Bologna for these but this is mostly amicable, as he respects them and does not see them as threatening.
