Arquitius Cibalecus

**Overview**Companions

**Acaciatalis Arquitius Cibalecus**, is the current Dux of the Pomarian-controlled Cibalea, as well as the inherited title of Count of Rutrinium. A warrior by heart, he fought in the Battle of Shesta and led the Comitatensis to take the majority of the interior of the Aoshanti Concourse- Andautonia, Castrum, and Vinovia. His conquest of these territories, brutal and gutting as they were, earned Acaciatalis the title *"Butcher of Vinovia"* from the Aoshanti Republic, and allowed him to bolster his personal forces with both conscripts from Vinovia and the purchase of a cohort of Lindinian Arbalerii- high quality warriors for a steep price. It was a title that Arquitius soon learned to embrace with earnest.

Upon the reformation of the Empire, Count Arquitius was named the ruling Dux of Cibalea by Veritas IV, who considered the Butcher to be one of his greatest field generals. Arquitius was the commanding officer of the Imperial Army of Cibalea, before his ascension to the role of Supremus of the larger Army of the North.

## Family

The family lineage of Arquitius is comparatively lacking in importance to many of their constituents in the Empire. Figures of any importance in his family and within the machinations of the Aoshanti Concourse begin with his father, *Euclio*. A senior centurion during the invasion of Vigila during the First Concourse War, he was provided command of the garrison at Rutrinium by *Amphion Karathon*, the father of Veritas IV and the founder of Pomaria. Acaciatalis and his younger brother, Tertinius, were provided the position of Count and Regent of Rutrinium respectively when their father passed, showing their prowess and martial skill required to handle the roles inherited.

As the Count of Rutrinium, Acaciatalis took on his first wife, an enslaved Vigilian named Caline Hatilius. It was an uneven and outright abusive marriage that ended suddenly when Caline passed away with the birth of their only child, Ballio Arquitius. Despite her status as a slave and the way that he had treated her at times, Arquitius fell into a depressive rut for several months, and made dedicated effort to have her buried on her homeworld. Afterwards, Arquitius would never come to truly accept Ballio as his own son, viewing them as the reason for Caline's passing. Unfit and unwilling to raise a child on his own, Acaciatalis sent his son away to live with a Vigilian noble family, knowing that it would be better for the both of them.

After he had eventually gotten over the death of Caline, the Count of Rutrinium grew acquainted to the heads of his Limintanei. Most notably of these was the Orbitritan woman known as Luccela Niraemius, a Centurion of the Rutrinian Legion. A stalwart and level-headed warrior, Niraemius initially declined the Count's advances, but after several attempts she would accept his hand in marriage, finding Arquitius to be a hard-headed and callous figure, but warmed up to him well enough to have twins- Suedia and Anterastilis.
