King Phillip of Cagliostro (Old Norse: Filip Pipping, Pip Pippington) was a legendary Danish and Swedish Viking hero and ruler, known from The Viking Age of Heroes of the Old Nordic bards and sagas. According to traditional writings and historical texts, Phillip of Cagliostro's reign took place at some point in the 9th century, around the time of other legendary heroes as Jojo Hayson and Alanso Forbish.

Early Life:

Not much is known about the Great King Phillip in the early years of his life. Stories tell that he was born in midwinter on the turn of the year. Born to King Christoff Pipping and his wife Gall, Phillip was born to some degree of wealth and comfort. He showed great aptitude and skill in his teen years at sports and activities such as archery, climbing and the remembering of useless information often relating to very specific topics of entertainment.

The Legend of Phillip of Cagliostro:

King Phillip is most renowned for what is now known as the 'Tale of The Great King Pig of Cagliostro'. As King Phillip reached adulthood he pursued a carrier in education in which he excelled. He chose to work with the most difficult of students, the likes of whose names live down in history such as Martinon Loranson and James the Green. Due to his success he became in more wealthy than the fortune he was born into. Not only that but he ego, pride and sheer arrogance grew to such an extent that, as legend tells, it attracted the attention of a powerful sorceress who went by the name of Finn d'Beckonia.

d'Beckonia, it is said, cast an incantation upon Phillip of Cagliostro, cursing him to forever live his life in the form of a boar as a reminder of how his greed and arrogance made him look to those in his presence.

Later life:

Not much more is said of the now Great King Pig of Cagliostro, only that the curse was never broken and in his remaining time as a boar he became a much more terrible being who lost his passion for teaching. Rumor has it that he was defeated in battle during the violent skirmishes between clans and that Jojo Hayson and one of his prior pupils Martinon Loranson may have struck the final blows.
