Revision as of 15:58, 22 June 2016
“It is an honour to serve the people of Cyrannus as Potentate.”
- - Aeresius
N'herio Aeresius is a male Libertus who currently serves as the Potentate of the Galactic Empire of Cyrannus, effectively making him the overseer of the day-to-day running of the Empire, while the Emperor concentrates on more important matters. Aeresius hails from the twin world of the planet Capricaerón, Picona, and rose to power in the months after the declaration of the Empire, eventually becoming Grand Mandator of the Core Worlds and later the Potentate, making him one of the Empire's most notable diplomats, often being the individual responsible for opening or closing diplomatic relationships with alien civilisations..
History
Early Life
Aeresius was born in the year 61 BNE on the planet Picona, one of the Twelve Colonies. As a young boy, Aeresius would often gaze into the sky at Picona's planetary twin, Capricaerón and longed to be a part of it. Eventually, as he grew older, his wish came true when he was sent away by his wealthy parents to study at the prestigious University of Capricaerón in Libertopolos. Aeresius studied history and politics and eventually made a name for himself in the diplomatic corps of the Capricorn Sector Alliance, eventually supporting Apollo as President.
Aeresius was witness to many great events over the following years, including the reformation of the Cyrannian Federation into the much more centralised United Republic of Cyrannus. Aeresius continued to work his way up the ranks of the Diplomatic Corps of the Republic, eventually becoming an admired citizen of the Republic and a great man in the eyes of his friends and family back on Picona. As the Great Cyrannus War dragged on, Aeresius grew to hate the Confederacy of Allied Systems and supported the motion of using more extreme tactics in order to end their rebellion against the Republic. This eventually became the case when the Galactic Empire of Cyrannus was formed, quickly absorbing the Confederacy into a new Imperial regime.
Grand Mandator
Aeresius talks with the leaders of the Andromedan Galactic Commonwealth.
Despite being initially sceptical over an alleged conspiracy regarding Apollo, Aeresius welcomed the Empire's formation and quickly made a name for himself. Tyrómairon was impressed by Aeresius' record prior to the Empire's rise and as such was made Grand Mandator of the Core Worlds, an incredibly influential position within the Empire. As Grand Mandator, he grew to dislike Tyranus, Grand Mandator of the Outer Rim for his backhanded methods and unlikeable personality.
Nevertheless, Aeresius became one of the Empire's most trusted diplomats, and was chosen by the Emperor to discuss an alliance with the leaders of the Andromedan Galactic Commonwealth. Before he left, Aeresius began to research information about the Commonwealth and grew sceptical of it, considering it merely an extension of the Draconid Imperium, considering the other nations as mere puppet states. With this in mind, he knew that an alliance between the Empire and the Commonwealth would be illogical and never intended on going through with it.
Apollo and Aeresius meet on Orbispira.
Nevertheless, he met with Tyraz, Uriel Ultanos and Laurinn Ma'fest within the next day. Aeresius studied the three leaders during their lengthy meetings, mentally taking notes on their personalities and habits. In his mind, his earlier suspicions were proved correct and he suddenly left the meeting, departing to Cyrannus just as the Andromedans attempted to detain him. Aeresius returned to Orbispira soon afterwards and told both the Mandator Council and the Imperial Senate of what he learned.
Potentate
- Dark Times
Aeresius was soon promoted to the position of Potentate, the second highest position in the Empire, which also earned him some new, dangerous enemies. During the third year of Imperial Rule, the former leader of the Cyrannian Republic, Apollo was captured in the Unknown Regions. Under the Emperor's orders, Aeresius met with Apollo on Orbispira and gave him a reprieve, so long as he didn't speak out against the Empire. Apollo eventually agreed and both figures left the meeting with ulterior motives.
The Hutter ambassador argues with the Imperials.
Several months later, Aeresius represented the Empire along with Guolivian at the monumental Cyrandia Conference, where he enjoyed annoying the ambassador of the Hutter Kingdom. When the New Cyrannian Republic was formed, he accepted it, claiming that they would have nothing to fear so long as they respected the authority of the Empire.
- New Cyrandia Wars
When the New Cyrandia Wars broke out in 04 NE, Aeresius called an emergency meeting of the Senate to discuss the recent separatist attacks in the Outer Rim. When Guolivian suggested a military alliance with the Draconid Imperium, Aeresius was initially sceptical but was won over by the senator's speech, which also managed to convince most of the more powerful members of the Mandator Council. Aeresius was later present at a Grand Mandator meeting in which the mutilated corpse of an Imperial officer was translocated into the room with the sigil of the Cognatus Empire etched into his chest; an act of war against the Empire.
Aeresius contacts the Mou'Cyran Accords.
During the second year of the conflict, Aeresius was informed that several Imperial colonies alogn the Neutral Zone with the New Cyrannian Republic mysteriously vanished without a trace. Immediately suspecting the Republic and their extragalactic allies in the Mou'Cyran Accords for the act of aggression, Aeresius contacted the council chambers on Mou'Cyran where he made the situation known. To his surprise, Republic colonies had suffered the same fate leading the gathered diplomats and leaders to deduce that the Corruptus was responsible for the attacks. Though hesitant to allow the extragalactics to mingle with the Imperial fleets, Aeresius decided to green light a joint operation with the Allies. Ultimately after a devastating battle, the arrival of the Cyrannic Imperial Battlestation won the day.
- Cyrannian Cold War
- Athan Apostila: "Worlds such as Capricaerón and Surdana have made their voices heard. The Empire permitted the Republic to gain sovereignty over these worlds after we agreed to aid them against the Imperial State. We are not ceding control just because you changed your mind."
- Aeresius: "The Empire is the rightful sovereign of this galaxy, boy. It was the Emperor's will that your Republic be reformed, though his generosity is not infinite. Make no mistake, High Councilor, the Empire and the Republic are not rivals that need to accommodate one another to prevent mutually assured destruction. No, if the Emperor wills it... Well, suffice it to say, we would not be having this conversation."
- ―Proconsul Apostila and Aeresius 'negotiate' on Station Halcyon
By the time the galaxy entered a period of Cold War between the Empire and the New Republic, Aeresius found that much of his administrative power had been usurped by figures such as Grand Mandator Taev Vosaetiur and the mysterious Imperious Lord. Nevertheless, content with his position as the Empire's chief diplomat and without any particular ambitions of greater power, Aeresius did not protest.
Potentate Aeresius arrives at Station Halcyon on board the Judicator-class Star Destroyer Desolator.
In 10 NE, with tensions between the two superpowers flaring, Aeresius was clandestinely contacted by High Councillor Balbus Marinus of the Talven Empire—a notable ally to the Republic. Marinus suggested that the Talva could act as negotiators between the Republic and the Empire. Unwilling to let the galaxy slide into a galactic conflict of unrivalled proportions, Aeresius accepted.
Travelling to Station Halcyon on board the newly completed Judicator-class Star Destroyer Desolator, Aeresius met with Marinus as well as Proconsul Athan Apostila and Senator Sola Naberraé, both of whom deeply distrusted any Imperial overtures since the end of Republic/Imperial cooperation at the end of the New Cyrandia Wars. Though Aeresius made it clear that he did not desire war, he could not help but to insult the power of the Republic, claiming that if the Empire wished it, the Republic's days would be numbered. Nevertheless, the meeting ultimately ended in an agreement that the Talven Empire would act as a negotiator during bilateral meetings between the two states. Nevertheless, as he returned to Orbispira, Aeresius suspected that the galaxy was already on a dangerous path, one with a single, unavoidable and devastating destination.
Physical Appearance
Aeresius has lived most of his life in the lap of luxury, with this being very much evident by how he presents himself. Aeresius enjoys wearing his favourite golden suit which was made from Dvottie feathers, considered one of the finest materials in the entire Gigaquadrant. He is considered quite attractive indeed, but not on the level of Apollo, who is known across Cyrannus for his famed good-lucks. Nevertheless, Aeresius takes pride in his appearance.
Personality and Traits
Aeresius is a curious figure. Though being born into wealth, he was never one to flaunt it obnoxiously to the less fortunate. Indeed, he gained much of his respect in his career for the care he showed to those who helped him on his journey to become successful. Though Aeresius takes pride in his appearance, he is not egotistical in the slightest, though is often considered to be cold and humourless, often Aeresius responds to what he sees as idiotic with a raised brow and a narrowed eye. However, during the Cyrandia Conference of 3 NE, he found enjoyment by irritating the Hutter Ambassador by winking at him while he spoke against the Empire. Unlike many Libertus, Aeresius is a devout believer in the Lords of the Thirteen, with his family's patron god being Herm-ai. Though in recent years he is incredibly busy, he tries to pray to Herm-ai daily.
