Claudia Victus

Claudia Victus Sparatina is the youngest child and only daughter of Malkum Victus and his wife, Alia Sparatus. She is the younger sister of Aren Victus. As her parent's second child, Claudia was raised for a life of spiritual service to the dead under the tutelage of Justinien Victus, her beloved first cousin once removed. At age 18, she was formally invested into the Bostran priesthood and surrendered her house name of Victus as part of her sacred vows. 
At 62, following his death in 2312 CE, she took Justinien's place as the Vox Maiorum of House Victus, using the skills which he had taught her to embalm his body and deliver him safely into the afterlife. She is currently training her own protégé, Gidion Victus, to one day succeed her. 
Claudia was named in memory of her paternal second cousin, Claudius Victus, who was tortured and exiled from the empire after trying to assassinate Antraxes Mehrkuri, forcing him to seek political asylum in the Andromeda galaxy alongside the remnants of House Arterius. As she was born in 2250 CE, Claudia never knew her namesake, who had left the Milky Way in 2227 CE, 23 years before her birth. Despite this, she considers him a hero of her family and keeps a small painted bust of him on her desk to remind herself to live up to his example.
Claudia is close friends with her paternal first cousin, Adriana Victus.
