Aritaea Sparatus

Aritaea Victus Sparatiana was the first Primarch of Bostra. She was the widow of Valexus Victus, who gave his life in an ill-fated attempt to free their beloved Bostra from the rule of the tyrannical, self-appointed despot, Soterian. She and Valexus were utterly devoted to one another, having chosen to mate for life. His death was a turning point for Aritaea, motivating her to throw her lot in with Aurelion Imperator for a chance at vengeance. 
When Aurelion's forces finally captured Soterian, Aurelion gave him over to her to do with as she pleased, in exchange for her continued loyalty. Aritaea, riven by grief and filled with nought but hatred, personally flayed Soterian alive before nailing him to a post and leaving him out in the desert to be feasted upon by corivels. So terrifying was her revenge that none ever dared to question her rule as primarch, ensuring a docile, obedient Bostra for Aurelion's reunified empire. 
Despite her reputation for sobriety, stoicism and a serious temper, Aritaea was never neglectful or cruel to her people. She did much to improve living standards for all Bostrans, including the mass production of state-supplied rebreathers to reduce the impact of silicosis - an incurable disease of the lungs caused by long-term inhalation of silica particles carried by sandstorms - the carrying of which she made mandatory (a law which still in effect on Bostra today and is hailed as the greatest advancement in medical equality in its history). She was also a loving mother to her and Valexus' children, whom she adored.
Aritaea and Valexus are the common ancestors of all members of House Victus, as well as several other bostran Familiae Martiales that their descendants married into over the millennia.
