The Sun in Rags

'We call upon the Sun-in-Rags,

which is distant; which is not as it was;

which burns still'

The Sun-in-Rags is the Hour of beautiful endings. He was once a Name of the Sun-in-Splendour, its aspect as the departing sunset, but after the Intercalate he became a shattered Hour, and a grim reminder of the True Sun’s former glory and its sorrowful end. He can be seen at times wandering the Mansus, a cold and distant radiance accompanied by a silent retinue.[2][3][4][5][6] His aspects are Winter[7] and Lantern[1] and his hour is noon.

Events

A Name of the Unconquered Sun: The Sun-in-Rags was acknowledged as a Name long before the Division of the Sun, representing a cold and distant sunset. His influence can be seen in ancient times through the Roman emperor Elagabalus, who may have been a dupe or avatar of the Sun-in-Rags.[2][5]

The Intercalate (1582): The Forge of Days was responsible for dividing the Sun-in-Splendour, who she loved. From the death of the Sun the Solar Hours emerged, among them the Sun-in-Rags, who most resembles the deceased ruler of the House of the Sun.[8]

The Second Dawn: It is prophesied that some day the Sun-in-Splendour will return, and it is implied that the four children of the Sun will be consumed in the process, including the Sun-in-Rags.[3]
