About Rycroft Philostrate

Rycroft Philostrate, played by Orlando Bloom, goes by the name of Philo and works as an inspector of The Burgue. Born as a half-faerie, Philo had his wings cut off by Dr. Morange when he was a baby so he could grow up and pass for a human. As tensions between humans and mythical creatures grew, a war broke out, and Philo found himself witnessing The Pact attempting to exterminate the mythical creatures of Tirnanoc. Philo then made it his mission to protect these creatures and became an inspector to catch perpetrators who aim to harm the Fae. 

Throughout his time in the war, Philo meets and falls in love with a faerie named Vignette Stonemoss. After the war, the two meet again in The Burgue, where Vignette takes refuge from her war-torn home, and they rekindle a dangerous love affair. As tensions between humans and Fae become increasingly intolerant, their lives become in danger as they hide more than just the secret of their love.
