The Dalvan Family was one of many Anarian families to embark on a colony ship to settled on Elpida. One of the Dalvan branches emigrated to Pax, and several many generations later, they were one of the founding families in Astrion. Due to their relative financial merchant experience in Pax, they manage to build several banking and finance enterprises on Astrion, becoming by the era of the Republic of Anthropos, the wealthiest family in the planet. During the rule of Hannakon I Tarnos, due to its help during the Second Civil War, they were granted the status of Nobility.
The proper founder of the house as one of the most famous High noble families in the Empire was Julia Dalvan, a prominent banking figure of Astrion, and cofounder of the Lios corporation, who was granted the title by the Emperor himself in gratitude for financing him during the War. All the members of the Dalvan House are direct descendants of her.
