Achaea Arterius

Achaea Arterius Corinthina is the daughter and youngest child of Desolas Arterius III and his late bonded wife, Achaea Corinthus. She was named by her father in memory of her mother, who died giving birth to her. She has three full-blood siblings - Desola Arterius, Fidellion Arterius and Selena Arterius - and a younger half-blood brother - Solaeus Arterius. As the great-granddaughter of Primarch Fidellion Victus, she was entitled to wear purple from birth but, like her siblings, only did so on formal occasions.
Achaea is the Vox Maiorum of House Arterius, having felt drawn to a life of religious contemplation to be closer to her mother and to spare her father to the pain of being around her. As her mother and paternal great-great-grandfather, Nihlus Kryik, had been Bostran, Achaea believed it was necessary for House Arterius to follow the Bostran tradition of appointing Voces Maiorum to care for their dead. 
At her repeated insistance, Desolas sent her to Bostra to train under her cousin, Messaena Corinthus, the Vox Maiorum of House Corinthus. She returned home to Palaven to enter mandatory Bootcamp at fifteen, which she passed with slightly above average scores. She then entered the Palavenian priesthood, studying as a lay sister for two years before taking his holy vows at eighteen.
Achaea spends a great deal of time tending to her mother's resting place and communing with her spirit.
