Dormer Family

The Dormer Family is an Independent magical family based in the Phoenix, Arizona area. The family once served as the stewards of House Roche starting in the 1910s, but following the schism in 2004, the two members, Cyril Dormer and his daughter Sophia Dormer, left the Guild to establish the Independent organization Subrosa. Although Cyril has retired from public life, Sophia serves as the leader of Subrosa.

History
The first magicians of the Dormer family were born in the late 12th century in western Germany.

Cyril Dormer
The last of the Dormer stewards serving House Roche, Cyril served Pierce Roche loyally, and it was Cyril that maintained the stability of House Roche while Pierce was away fighting the Grey War. He helped establish Subrosa as a legitimate organization, drawing on his vast experience and the Dormer family's prestige, before retiring from public life.

Sophia Dormer
Born in 1990, Sophia was 14 when she and her father left the Guild following the schism in House Roche. She was one of the founding members of Subrosa, and she was quickly elected to the position of leader by the other members. She advocates a path of nonviolence, even as she knows that the path ahead is one stained with blood. Although she is a weak magician, she is highly respected by many around her.
