Judus au Sejanus

"Attention, Republic colorTraitors. You have nowhere left to run. No allies left alive. But I do not wish to end your legends here, in the Ink. Thus, I offer you a chance, an olive branch if you will. Surrender, and on my honor as a son of the storied gens Sejanus and a Peerless Scarred of the Society, you will be treated with dignity and respect."
-Judus au Sejanus, to Solar Republic infiltrators after expelling them from the Godhunter.
== Backstory ==
Judus au Sejanus is a Peerless Scarred of House Sejanus, the current dominant House from Luna after the fall of House Lune. Loyal to the Society Remnant, he has a deep-seated hatred for the Reaper and his allies, and is known to fall into a foul mood when hearing of their exploits. Quick to take insult, Judus is always ready to challenge anyone who offends his family -or worse- the Society.
==Biography==
=== Early Life ===
Before the Rising, as a young boy Judus was quickly taken with the soft-spoken ways of Luna, with the Politicos and their intrigue. Despite this, he preferred to watch the fights in the Dueling Circuits, and the Praetors in their simulations and competitions. This was where he found many personal favorites, as well as studied some of the techniques and strategies of the best Peerless Scarred of the generation before his. Due to his upbringing in the courts of Hyperion, he was able to witness the Society in all its glory, and therefore associates a deluded sense of grandeur with the life he considers was robbed from him by the lowColors of the Republic.
=== Institute & Beyond ===
After graduating at the Institute on Luna in House Jupiter as a Peerless Scarred and ArchPrimus, due to his dominating the field with his powerful leadership, and somewhat less powerful fighting skills, Judus received an apprenticeship to an influential member of his Institute House. He quickly obtained the rank of Praetor, earning him command of a small fleet of a dozen torchShips, as well as his flagship Destroyer, the Dawn Pioneer. He participated in the Fall of Luna during the year 742 PCE, where he watched as his brother Costa au Sejanus's Man-Of-War went nuclear due to multiple direct hits from the Morning Star, and was one of the first Gold Praetors to fire on the ship detonating nuclear weapons on Luna. Although the bombs were activated by Golds, he blames the Rising for the ruination of his home planet, and thus fled with the rest of the Society Remnant to Mercury.

==== The Terran Campaign ====
* The Terran Campaign saw Judus perform exceptionally well, receiving only superficial damage to his capital ships while many others lost theirs or even died. After the initial part of the battle, Judus broke away from the main engagement in an attempt to gather space-to-surface information on the status of the Remnant's key Iron Rain targets. Engaging the third and final line of the Solar Republic's defenses, Judus destroyed roughly half of the Pandora's gun emplacements, flagship of the third line's commanding Praetor, Trida au Julii. Then, Praetor Aurelion au Nyx launched a prototype missile EMP, which disabled the Pandora fully and allowed the two Society Praetors to slip past their enemy's final lines. Judus chose not to board the defending ships, putting his duty to the Society over his own desires. He then released a broadcast to the spheres, informing them of the Ash Armada's coming Rain, and urging Societal Holdouts to maintain their defenses. Finally, Judus orchestrated where the Ash Armada's forces would Rain, and once again chose duty over his own personal interest in deciding upon Terra over his home, Luna.
Gains: Rank of archPraetor, various smaller capital ships through boarding after the Iron Rain was launched, relevance through releasing his broadcast across all of the Solar Republic's cities.
Losses: Further alienation of his cousin, Clothus au Sejanus. Delay in returning to his home, Luna.

Judus is an accomplished Praetor and duelist, although he far prefers the rhythmic and fluid combat of the Ink to having his feet on the ground. Using his passion for justice and deep loyalty to the Society, Judus is charismatic and confident around others, and is well-spoken, being an excellent public speaker.

"We can do a great many things together, let us make the very stars themselves tremble in our wake.” -Judus aboard the Dawn Pioneer, to Cromine au Karn
My fellow patriots, the time has come. Fight not for personal wealth, pride or fame. Fight for your right to exist, and the chance of a better world. The heretics in the Republic would have us bow to colors thats are inferior in every way, both physically and mentally. We are Gold. We do not bend, we do not break. We rule. Per Aspera, Ad Astra.” -Judus at the onset of the Second Deadzone Foray
