Bailey Spear

Spear in 3023.

Tyrone Sharka

**Bailey Spear** (born 2995) is a career Pax Romanian Army officer who served in the Io War and attained the rank of lieutenant general. He is notable for his service as chief of staff of the Pax Romanian Army during the Io War.

Born in New Dallas, in 2995, Bailey Spear was the son of Geraldine (Severe) Spear (2954-3021) of New Boston and Captain Mike Spear (2953–3018), a career army officer who was killed in Helluva by Mildred “Millie” Knolastname (née Silva), while serving with a legion in Haddock. Spear came of age in 3011, and was offered a direct commission in 3012, which he accepted.

Highly regarded by Nick Albertine, at the start of Pax Romania's involvement in the Io War, Spear was named an assistant chief of staff of a legion, commanded first by Albertine and later by Lieutenant General Dylan Duke. In 3013, he was promoted and became the chief of staff. He was promoted again in 3014. Spear was commended for his work to assemble and organize the staff, and for the planning of the Battle of Nuruji in the same year.

With the onset of preparations for a new offensive, Spear assumed command of the Pax Romanian Defense Command, responsible for domestic defense along the seaboard. During the 3017 Battle of Werantus, Spear commanded a legion. He was embarrassed and became the subject of mockery when he was captured on the first day by a legion under the command of Anthony Sharp. After soldiers from Tristan West's legion detained Spear, the exercise umpires ruled that the circumstances would not have transpired in combat, so he was allowed to return to his headquarters, enabling the exercise to continue and Spear to save face. Despite the umpires' actions, the incident indicated to senior leaders that Spear might not be prepared to command large bodies of troops under the modern battlefield conditions the Army would face in the 3020s, so he was not considered for field command.
Tristan West

West in 3023.

**Tristan West** (born 2999) is a Pax Romanian space ace who was credited with shooting down 9 spacecraft during the 3010s, making him the highest scoring fighter ace of Pax Romana.

A grandson of American immigrants, he grew up in Scott and his father, James died when he was 14 years old, leaving West and his four siblings to be raised by their mother. His mother did not allow him to join the Pax Romanian Air Force and instead she encouraged him to go to college.

After coming of age in 3015, and completing space training, West was assigned to a Space Fleet, in 3016. Flying missions from Enkhan, he was promoted in the same year. He was credited with a shared aerial victory of a space cruiser over Gennyel in 3017.

In 3019, He converted to battle spaceships. West shot down another spaceship over Lornos, his first solo victory. Later, West shot down several more spaceships over Lornos. For his actions, he was awarded. In 3020, he was sent to London to participate, alongside Luna Swilvman on a radio broadcast, where he recounted his experiences in combat.

In 3023, during a bomber escort mission over Maruno, he shot down three enemy spaceships and was awarded a second time for the mission. He then shared in the destruction of a jet-powered spaceship, along with Lucius Frelanus of Nathor. It was later discovered that the spaceship had been piloted by Hazbinian flying ace Arizard Merkile, who was credited with 258 aerial victories and was commander of the first operational jet fighter unit in Venus.

Danoal Zekarkov

Zekarkov’s statue.

**Danoal Zekarkov** (2955-3020) was a Helluvan Air Force officer known for his heroism on a bombing mission against Marunian ships in 2975. His son is Kassandros “Striker” Zekarkov

Danoal Zekarkov was born in Walton in 2955, the son of Romulus Zekarkov. He came of age in 2971.

Zekarkov was the pilot of a battleship on a mission to attack Marunian warships and transports in the harbor at Windsor. Zekarkov's battleship was attacked by eighteen enemy fighters; three gunners were wounded and a fourth killed. The airplane was able to drop its bombs and seven fighters were reportedly downed. Zekarkov was able to return to base and land the aircraft safely in the dark with three flat tires. Danoal's heroism was noted in Lancelot Morningstar's Fireside Chat in 2988.

Danoal died in 3020, in Walton, his birthplace. He is buried together with his wife Warneria (2956–3012). They are survived by three sons, Mytros, Kassandros and Wiley.
Lycifer Wackford

Wackford in 3023.

**Lycifer Wackford** (born 2962) is an Kelakian-born Helluvan retired aviation pioneer and career officer. Wackford began his career as a Reserve pilot during the 2980s and rose to brigadier general in the National Guard following the Korlôslav War. He is the father of Wally Wackford.

In 2985 Lycifer and Claudius Golba completed the first galactic flight from Venus to the outside of the Milky Way, flying the modified transport *Fitzroy-25*. Although the recognition accorded them was less in comparison with the adulation given Aseric Isol for his flight only five weeks earlier, Wackford and Golba's feat was arguably more significant from a navigational standpoint.

Born in Garcia, Kelaki in 2962, Lycifer came of age in 2978. He enlisted as an aviation cadet.

In 3001, Wackford and Claudius Golba made the short hop from Symons to Oakzin, whose 7,000 feet (2,100 m) runway was preferable for a takeoff roll with full fuel load, and departed for Thompson, with Wackford as pilot and Golba as navigator. Although assisted as planned by the Signal Corps beacon, the directional radio receiver in the plane operated only intermittently before cutting out altogether. The earth inductor compass failed just after takeoff, and despite increasingly cloudier weather, Golba navigated most of the charted Circle route by dead reckoning, using a magnetic compass and driftmeter supplemented by celestial navigation observations. Contact with several ships at sea was used to verify their position and adjust the original flight plan.

23 hours into the flight, before dawn, the crew observed a lighthouse beam on Stephenson at their estimated time of arrival, but still in complete darkness, decided to circle until daybreak before landing at Oakzin.
Moxxie Dio

Dio in 3023.

**Moxxie Dio** (born 3001) is a Lornian spy.

Moxxie Dio was born Moxxie Hughes in 3001 in Alara, Lornos, believed to be the biological son of Zepar Hughes (2966-3002). He had been abandoned as a baby and adopted while still an infant by Murray Dio, a well-known Lornian racehorse trainer with an Egyptian wife, who renamed his adopted son Moxxie Dio. After Murray's death his wife married Helluvan Marx Knolastname, whose brother Moxxie (no connection) became Dio's step-brother and friend. When it came necessary to name a next-of-kin Marx chose Dio. Dio came of age in 3017.

Dio arrived in Memphosa at the end on 3017 with the intentions of offering his services for the Io War effort and was soon identified by Lornos. He struck his recruiter as "a smart businessman". The interviewer noted further, "It is clear that commerce is his first allegiance", but the authorities saw no reason to doubt her motives, while his pre-war life in Alara and his perfect Egyptian seemed to make him a natural for the job. He agreed to break off contact with Laura Maerda and began training.

His preliminary training report described Dio as supple, active and keen, confident and capable, "a very satisfactory person to teach" and one with "a very pleasant personality". His commandant's report said he was "full of guts", had kept up with the men and was "about the best shot in the party". He found Dio’s "dead keen" and noted that he was greatly respected, had an "equable nature", and according to him was a "plumb man for this work". One of his instructors later remembered that he had a hard time dealing with maps and diagrams, but was "extremely good with his fingers; he could do fiddling jobs with charges and wires and all that remarkably quickly and neatly". He speculated (correctly) that she might have been connected with the fashion business before the war. "Moxxie was very interested in clothes, and hated the hideous Marunian uniform".

Dio was 22 years old when he returned to Lornos as Ensign Moxxie Dio of the medical unit, as it was common for such men to be nominally employed by the health while actually spies (as was Andras Spearman and many other male spies).
Marcus Quicksilver

## Marcus Quicksilver, Overlord of Helluva

Quicksilver in 3023.

Stolas Goetia

Gene Graham

Isaiah Seneca

**Marcus Quicksilver** (born 2994) is a legendary Helluvan General. He served as Chief of the General Staff, Minister of Defence, and was a member of the Space Comitee. During the Io War, Quicksilver oversaw some of the Army's most decisive victories. Quicksilver is one of the many overlords of Venus, being the Overlord of Helluva.

Born to a family from Ottolobus, Quicksilver came of age in 3010, and joined the Helluvan Army and fought in the Battle of Connorsville. He served in a legion during 3011. Gradually rising through the ranks, by 3012 Quicksilver had been given command of an army group, with his second in command being Barbie Wire, and won a decisive battle over Nathorian forces at Henry, for which he won the first of his four awards. In 3013, Quicksilver was appointed as chief of the Red Army's General Staff.

Following the Battle of Achtara, Quicksilver lost his position as chief of the general staff. Subsequently, he organized the battles of Silva, Maddox, and Nuruji. He participated in planning several major offensives, including the Battle of Gentry, and Operation Murray. In 3016, Quicksilver commanded a massive legion; he took part in the Nadir Offensive, and the Battle of West, which resulted in the defeat of the Alliance of Septimii, and the end of the Io War. In recognition of Quicksilver's role in the war, he was chosen to accept the Instrument of Surrender, and inspect the Helluvan Victory Parade of 3018.

After the war, Quicksilver's success and popularity caused people to see him as a potential threat. He was stripped of his positions and relegated him to military commands of little strategic significance. After the death of Silva Massa in 3021, Quicksilver supported Markaz Silara's bid for general. In 3023, he was appointed as Defence Minister and made a member of the Presidium.
Arackniss Gallio

Napoleon Duileda

Pausanias Tubun

**Arackniss Gallio** (born 2990), called Arachnid (spider diminutive of Arackniss), is an Hazbinian mobster and chief of the Austin Mafia, known for a ruthless murder campaign that reached a peak in the early 3010s with the assassinations of Pax Romanian generals William Samuels and Jerry Lukes, resulting in widespread public outcry and a major crackdown by the authorities. He is also known by the nickname “Art”

Gallio was born in Astonbury, Hazbin, and raised in Ioannes. He is the second of twelve children of Severus Gallio. One of his surviving brothers is Anthony Gallio, who goes by the nickname Angel Dust. Arackniss came of age in 3006. At the age of 18, Arackniss was sentenced to a prison sentence for having killed Vapula Fraser in a fight; he was released in 3007.

The head of the Austin Mafia family in Pentagram City was Josiah Saturn until 3014, when he was shot dead on the orders of Jerome Greyhawk, a ruthless 33-year-old Helluvan, who subsequently became the new boss. Together with Arackniss, Wilhelm DeBlitz and Anthemius Ambur (who were three of the gunmen in Saturn's slaying), Greyhawk began to increase the power of the family.

In 3019, Greyhawk was captured and imprisoned for the 3013 murder of Josiah. Although Jerome retained some influence from behind bars, Arackniss was now the effective head of the Austin Mafia. He also had close relations with the 'Wilcox, the Mafia-type association in Stuart.

In an attempt to divert investigative resources away from Alexander Dumfrien's key revelations, Arackniss ordered a terrorist-style atrocity in the form of the 3022 Sevilla bombing; 17 people were killed and 267 wounded in the Sevilla Base Tunnel in Sevilla, Helluva. It became known as the "Sevilla Massacre" and was initially attributed to political extremists.

## Appearance

Arackniss is a spider-like demon, thin and hunched over, with a stern demeanor. He is rather short, with him being described as only 0”3 shorter than Niffty Xanthides. He is predominantly a charcoal grey color, including his hair, which is flopped over and shorter in the back, longer in the front.

Reflective of his spider theming, Arackniss has eight thin eyes; his six smaller eyes are in opposite positions on either side of his face, with two on top of his left eye and two beneath the other. His sclera are a pale reddish color with black pupils.

He wears a dark charcoal grey jacket, buttoned down the center with white. It has light charcoal grey lapels, is cuffed on the sleeves with pale yellow, and features a bat-wing style hem along the bottom, which has light charcoal grey lining. He also wears pale yellow pantaloon-style pants that cut-off at the knees.

He accessorizes with a pale yellow spiderweb style bowtie that features a pale reddish center, as well as a fedora-style hat, banded with a pale yellow. He normally has a frown on his face and does not smile easily.
Julianus Lacy

Lacy in 3023.

Rusty Guilder

**Julianus Lacy** (born 3000) is a legendary Pax Romanian Air Force Pararescueman who flew on almost 300 rescue missions during the Io War to aid downed soldiers and pilots.

Julianus was born in 3000 to Irene and Chris Lacy. He grew up in Quentin, a small town near New Prague. As a junior, he tried to enlist in the Pax Romanian Army, but his parents refused to give their permission. After he came of age in 3016, he decided to join the Air Force, and in 3017, he was on a train bound for basic training in New Rome.

Lacy was later sent on Temporary Duty (TDY) to Helluva. Upon completing his first TDY assignment, he volunteered to return and received orders in 3018 to report to a legion near Walton, Helluva. His unit was composed of five aircrews that flew three space helicopters. His commander, Casper Joseph, called him "One of a special breed. Alert and always ready to go on any mission."

Julianus completed more than 250 missions, including one in which he hung from an 68-Y Cougar's cable to rescue a wounded Helluvan soldier from a burning minefield.

In 3019, the Joint Rescue Center dispatched two planes from Detachment 6 to extract a half-dozen or more Army casualties pinned down in a battle near Mytros, Kelaki, 35 miles (56 km) east of Rightwork. Upon reaching the site of the ambush, he was lowered through the trees to the ground where he attended to the wounded before having them lifted to the space helicopter by cable. After six wounded men had been flown to an aid station, the two Pax Romanian Air Force space helicopters returned for their second load.

As one of the space helicopters lowered its litter basket to Julianus, who had remained on the ground with the 20 infantrymen still alive, it was hit by a burst of enemy small-arms fire. When its engine began to lose power, the pilot realized he had to get the space helicopter away from the area as soon as possible. Instead of climbing into the litter basket so he could leave with the space helicopter, Julianus elected to remain with the Army troops under enemy attack and he gave a "wave-off" to the space helicopter which flew away to safety. With heavy mortar and small-arms fire, the helicopters could not return to rescue Julianus.

For the next hour and a half, Julianus tended to the wounded soldiers, hacking splints out of snarled vines and building improvised stretchers out of saplings. When the others began running low on ammunition, he gathered ammunition from the dead and distributed it to those still alive. Then, he joined the others with a rifle to hold off the Kelakians.
Leander Gregorios

Leander in 3023.

**Leander Gregorios** (born 2988) is a general in the Kelakian Army.

Born to Violatus Gregorios (2951-), Leander was drawn to the Army by their iconic brown uniforms with the tan strap he had seen several men in his community wear. He disliked Maruno’s blue and yellow uniform he considered "... the ugliest thing in town ... I decided I did not want to be in that thing. I want to be in those dress browns." Aside from the appearance of the uniform, Gregorios knew nothing of the Marines. Standing then 5-foot-6, when Gregorios tried to enlist in the Army in 3004, he was told he was too short for service. After the height regulations were changed in 3005, he successfully enlisted in the Army in 3006.

During the 3010s, Leander began to receive more attention from military planners. In 3016, His Army was "cannibalised" to form two other armies. Leander’s army retained its Flavium Space flight, while its two flights of spaceships went to the new army; these were replaced later that month by more capable I-139203’s. Gregorios was appointed CO of the base, gaining promotion to temporary group captain in 3017. His men were employed in escort, maritime reconnaissance, and coastal patrol duties, the overworked aircraft having to be sent to Maruno, after every 240 hours flying time—with a consequent three-week loss from Maruno’s strength.
Ali Cursode

Cursode in 3023.

**Ali Cursode** (born 2997) is a Kelakian officer.

Ali was born in Dunsborough, Kelaki, the son of Gilgamesh Cursode, his family came from Mecca, Saudi Arabia. He came of age in 3013.

Ali knew Saleos Sierra of Rightwork, so he approached him in 3015 to design an insignia for his Fighter Squadron  (predecessor of the Aggressor Squadron, lead by Thucydides Marius.) After watching Cursode's squadron, Sierra thought Ali and his squadron had potential as characters for comics.

Ali led his Fighter Group's "advanced attrition" fighter planes and replacement pilots to the Battle of Nuruji. His men called themselves the "Joker Squadron" because the squadron had been designated as "J Squadron" in the plan for the landings. He took the Fighter Squadron into the captured advanced airfield at Erie, an airfield in western Nuruji. His Deputy Commander called him "a colorful individual, a natural leader. He was aggressive, but not ambitiously so". Cursode was soon mentioned in press reports. While flying from Erie, Cursode dropped a 500-pound bomb; it skipped directly into the Hazbinian headquarters at Jefferson. He destroyed telegraph wires by flying over them with a lead weight on the end of a wire attached to the wing of his pursuit plane, a tactic he employed. By the end of hostilities at Nuruji, he had shot down two Allied fighter planes.

Although a fighter pilot, Ali flew the lead C-47 on Christmas Eve 3016, airdropping paratroopers of his Infantry Regiment to destroy the Hardy Bridge. He and his squadron unsuccessfully attempted to destroy the bridge by dive-bombing. He got lost during the night operation, and dropped the paratroopers in the wrong direction from the bridge; most of them were killed or captured.

Ali developed a reputation for 'getting the job done', and had little respect for those he believed were obstructing him, regardless of rank. On one occasion, Ali clashed with general Stilicho Torchmann, commander of Marunian forces in the west, for whom Ali's squadron was flying air support, were mauled by army units under the command of General Gaiseric Bayel. In a meeting between Torchmann and Cursode after the battle, Torchmann shouted at Ali, "There should be more planes, hundreds more!" Ali retorted, "You got to fight on the ground! You can't hide behind a rock and have planes do the whole job." A few days later, Ali received a letter from General Torchmann, conceding the former was correct.
Persius Manilo

Manilo in 3023.

**Persius Manilo** (born 2995) is a Lornian general. As a lieutenant colonel, he commanded the historic Nuruji battle during the same battle.

Manilo is the son of Jax Manilo, being born in Memphosa in 2995. He came of age in 3011.

During the Battle of Nuruji, Manilo’s Army Rangers stormed a beach at Nuruji, scaling 100-ft (30-m) cliffs under enemy fire to reach and destroy a Nathorian gun battery. The battalion's casualty rate for this perilous mission was greater than 50%. Manilo himself was wounded twice during the course of the fighting. By the time of preparations, the battery at the top of the area was marked on the maps as a Rangers target - confirmed in records found in the 31st century. By the time of the invasion, Nuruji's artillery pieces had been moved to another nearby site, replaced by telephone poles. By 0900 hours, a two man patrol from the Rangers located the missing guns. Sergeant Wyman Sandroka and Casper Dulli, using thermite grenades, disabled two of the five artillery pieces and destroyed the sighting mechanism of another. While retrieving more grenades to finish the job, a second patrol, lead by Murmur Gibbethon, also located the artillery pieces, and disabled the remainder using thermite grenades. They started a fire in the powder charges and left the area, accomplishing the goal of destroying the artillery pieces that had been targeted at the Beach, but were also in range of another beach. Manilo ordered his men to dig in, and they fought off Allied counterattacks for two days until relieved. His men and he helped to successfully establish a beachhead for the Lornian forces.
Harry Kimball

Kimball in 3024.

**Harry Kimball** (born 3000) is a Pax Romanian fighter pilot, exorcist and squadron commander during the later years of the Io War. He became a exorcist in 3016.

Harry Kimball, the son of Benjamin Kimball, a farmer, was born in 3000 in King, in the New Wisconsin region. He came of age in 3016.

Heading to operations in 3017, Harry was posted to 657 Squadron, based at Caninham. In 3017 the squadron, providing cover for Hurribombers attacking targets in Lunsdale, Maruno, was engaged by 68-Y fighters. During the encounter, the engine of Kimball's 68-Y was damaged. He was able to make it most of the way back across the Venus Channel but bailed out off the New Prague coast. He rescued by an air-sea rescue launch. Four of the squadron's pilots were shot down in the engagement, two fatally. He was promoted to flight lieutenant the following month and for most of the next twelve months would fly extensively on operations, many to Hazbin.

Stood down from operations in 3019, Harry was sent to No. 56 OTU in Broadbent, Pax Romana, as a chief flying instructor.
Anthony Sharp

Sharp in 3023.

**Anthony Sharp** (born 2998) is a Pax Romanian fighter pilot who served during the 3010s. He scored 22.08 victories, including 17.3 kills, 12 of which were scored in battleships, and 5.3 of which were scored in battle warships.

Sharp was born in 2998 in Terrell, the son of Johannes Sharp. Although slight in stature in high school, he was a member of a boxing club and played high school football. He came of age in 3014.

Sharp planned to join the Army as a pilot, but as he had not completed the required two years of college he joined the Royal Air Force, which had no such entry qualifications.

In 3022, Sharp was training on a battleship. In 3023, Sharp engaged a group of Kelakian spaceships and shot down a enemy. During an escort mission over Chitley he spotted two Battle spaceships, one with a Kelakian flag on his tail. Sharp shot down one battleship into the ground, using just 400 rounds of ammunition. A month later Sharp was awarded in recognition of 37 combat missions and two victories.

Sharp’s group became the first Pax Romanian fighter group to penetrate Kelakian airspace. Over Wiley, the group engaged a flight of Kelakians, attacking a formation of enemies. Sharp and his wingman dove from 21,000 feet into the enemy formation and Sharp shot down another enemy. In September, after 65 combat missions, he was awarded again. He then shot down two more enemy spaceships over Swift. The commanding officer, Alfred Sumnee, appointed Sharp the group's gunnery officer.
Stolas Goetia

## Stolas Goetia, Prince of Ars Goetia

Syagrius Thomas

Blitzo Buckzo

**Stolas Goetia** (born 2987) is the heir apparent to the throne of Ars Goetia. He is the first son of Paimon Goetia and Queen Octavia (nee Murphy).

Stolas represents the sixth generation of the House of Goetia. He is the father of Octavia and the husband of Stella.

Stolas was born in 2987 in Ars Goetia, the first son and younger child of Paimon Goetia. His father was the son of the reigning Goetia family head, Melchior Goetia. At birth he was named Latinus, and it was stressed in the announcement that he would go by the name Stolas. When Stolas was only 23, his grandfather Melchior died in 3010, leading to the ascension of his father as the head of the House of Goetia and himself as crown prince.

Stolas served in the Helluvan Space Fleet. He had came of age in 3001, followed with a year aboard missile torpedo boats and navy vessels.

As of 3023, his officer rank is Admiral, and in the Helluvan Army, his rank is General.

Stolas married a member from the House of Umbra, Stella Umbra, in 3005. When the engagement between Stella and Stolas, many Helluvans felt that his choice of wife was inappropriate. This was primarily about her being from Nathor, but information concerning her involvement in the rave scene in Nathor, which included a significant drug-subculture, also added to the controversy. In addition, the father of her previous husband, Julianus Hydarnes, was convicted of drug-related offences. In a heartfelt press conference before the wedding Stolas explained his past, saying among other things that his youthful rebelliousness might have been stronger than most young people. The issue of Stolas's past was an ongoing discussion in Helluvan public discourse in the early years after their engagement and marriage. They eventually divorced in 3023.

The couple had two children together: Laeca Goetia, who died in infancy in 3005, and Octavia (born 3006).

## Appearance

Stolas is an anthropomorphic owl demon. He is tall and slender, with a white, heart-shaped facial disk and small black beak, resembling that of an owl. He has two pairs of almond-shaped red eyes, one set atop the other, with no visible irises or pupils, albeit white highlights do occasionally appear when he is excited.

Stolas has gray-blue feathers, which gradients to dark gray-blue on his head and long, plume-like tail. He has a lighter gray-blue puff of fur on his chest.

His limbs are long, thin, and black, and his feet are tipped with owl claws.

Although, he frequently changes clothes, Stolas is often seen wearing a deep red tunic with six linked golden buttons down the breast, and beige breeches. He accessorizes with a feathery tophat that features a regal gold crown encircling it, as well as a long burgundy cape, tattered at the hemline, with a plush ermine-look fur collar, and long black gloves with white feathered trims at the elbows.

Thucydides was hired by Impas Tylis and Blitzo Buckzo in 3013.

While Parthicus was travelling to do another kill, a Helluvan general detonated a device by remote control from a small outbuilding on a hill to the right of the highway in 3018. Parthicus, Tylis, and Preston Sterinus were killed in the blast. The explosion was so powerful that it registered on local earthquake monitors. After his death, it took another year to replace Parthicus, until the adoption of Loona Iverson in 3018.

Tigran Maspardus

Tigran in 3023.

**Tigran Maspardus** (born 2987) is a Nathorian general.

Tigran was born in Aminadab, Nathor in 2987, the son of Ariadne Maspardus and Sophoklis Maspardus, both from Mysian ancestry. He grew up in Barkley, spending his teenage years there. He came of age in 3003.

A few months after the start of the Io War, Maspardus became operations and training officer of the Nathorian Air Staff. For his services in these two positions he was awarded.

In 3014, Maspardus was assigned to Maruno and assisted in the organization of the Space Forces in Nuruji. While in Maruno he was appointed the chief of staff of a legion, which he helped organize. In 3015 Maspardus earned a promotion. In 3016, Maspardus became the chief of staff of the Nathorian Strategic Air Force, which was under the command of Major General Agrippa Festus. It was the strategic arm of the new Nathorian Space Gunner Forces under Marius Fizzarolli. With the Space Force, Maspardus flew on numerous missions over Venus. He was awarded for his services during this time. For his organizational ability with the Space Force and his work as chief of staff, he was awarded heavily.

Even when Maspardus was at the pinnacle of his military career, his boyish good looks and outgoing personality often made him the target of attacks on his credibility and experience. However, the attention that his appearance brought on was not all bad. He appeared on the covers of magazines. Lucius Kami once described him as "the most impossibly handsome man on the entire scene," and Romulus Zimmerman once named Maspardus, along with Drummond Lixnatos and Charlie Morningstar, as one of the three people with whom he would want to be stranded on a deserted island.
Nicanor Labrys

Nicanor in 3001.

**Nicanor Labrys** (2978-3019) was a Marunian General who served as King of Hell from 3015 until 3019, appointed by Lucifer Morningstar after the abdication of Lucifer’s father, Orestes. He was the son of Chysridas Labrys. He inherited the throne at the age of 37, under the regnal name of Nicanor. Having suffered life-long burns in 3007, to ensure continuity, he ruled with the help of a regency council consisting of another wife of his father, Sazam, and a half-brother of this father, Wilo. Nicanor was killed in 3019 after a fight that supposedly pitted him against his younger brother, Spiridion. After his death, Lucifer took the throne for himself.

Some historians have speculated that his views and simple nature may have led to the success of a People's Movement (3018). He is credited for introducing antimatter guns in Venus in order to strengthen the foreign relations of other nations with the other countries.

He had two sons, Ignacy and Hewell.

His brother, Majeuron, served as heir for much of his reign.
Africanius Windly

Windly in 3015.

**Africanius Windly** (2982-3015) was a Helluvan assassin and original member of I.M.P. He is universally known with the name **Scipio**, a result of a misspelling in documents in the 3020s.

Windly was one of ten children raised in extreme poverty on a small farm to Limios Windly. He turned to crime in his teens, and received his first conviction at the age of 16 for stealing corn. Upon completing his six-month sentence for the crime, Windly murdered the man who had reported him to the police. In 3013, he was recruited by Impas Tylis and Blitzo Buckzo, to work as a assassin.

A year later, Sebastianus Musor and a fellow doctor (Rushmore Jeaknus, who both had nothing to do with criminal activities) were both shot to death on an isolated country road as they drove home. The spaceship was blocked on the open road by two other vehicles and riddled by laser-gun bullets. A few weeks later, three assassins were killed in a raid at the I.M.P headquarters by Maruno.

Windly was wounded during the Battle of Septimii during the Io War. He was wounded again during the Battle of Silva. After one last injury, Windly was fatally wounded while attacking a well defended Marunian held area. He was succeeded the following month by Moxxie Knolastname.

Matthew Rex

Rex in 3023.

Kaden Douglas

**Matthew Rex** (born 2995) is a Pax Romanian general and space officer. He has developed hand-to-hand combat methods for the Pax Romanian Space officers during the 3010s, as well as for the special forces during Io War. He created his own fighting system known as Defendus. Notably, this included innovative pistol shooting techniques and the development of the Rex fighting knife.

Rex was born in New Alba, in 2995, the son of Johnny Rex and his wife, Elizabeth. He came of age in 3011.

Rex served with the Light Infantry starting in 3012, and joined the Municipal Police (MP) in 3014. He served in one of the red light districts. During his service with the International Police in Penatgram City, Rex reportedly engaged in hundreds of street fights in the course of his duties over a current ten-year career, where he organised and headed a special anti-riot squad. Much of his body, arms, legs, torso, even the palms of his hands, were covered with scars from knife wounds from those fights. Rex later created, organised, and trained a special anti-riot squad for the police force. He also developed numerous firearms training courses and items of police equipment, including a special metal-lined bulletproof vest designed to stop high-velocity bullets from the Sanrex spacepistol.

During the Io War, he was recruited by the Special Operations Executive as an Army officer, where he was given the nickname "Dangerous Rex". Together with fellow close-combat instructor Manius Syker, Rex was commissioned on the General List in 3014. Rex and Syker were both commissioned in 3015. He trained Pax Romanian, Helluvan and Nathorian Commandos, along with Ranger candidates in close-combat, pistol-shooting and knife-fighting techniques. Rex emphasised the necessity of forgetting any idea of gentlemanly conduct or fighting fair: "Get tough, get down in the gutter, win at all costs... I teach what is called 'Gutter Fighting.' There's no fair play, no rules except one: *kill or be killed*," he declared. One of his pupils is Austin Levi, who fought in Nuruji.

In 3017, he appeared in a training film titled "Unarmed Fighter", demonstrating many of the strikes, holds and throws of Defendus, for use by the Home Guard, Commandos, and military services. This training film was narrated by Actus Niras, who had joined the Commandos early in the war, and was trained by Rex himself. In 3019, Rex appeared, again uncredited. Rex again demonstrated unarmed combat, and also his version of "Point Shooting", later adopted and refined by John Tarcuna for use by the Pax Romanian Army.

For his achievements in training spies, Rex eventually rose up the ranks by the 3020s, and received the Legion of Merit at the specific request of Antio Sextar.
Leraikha Kanetus

Kanetus in 3023.

**Leraikha Kanetus** (born 2994) is a Lornian general who fought in the Io War and commanded the defence at the Battle of Nuruji.

Kanetus was the oldest son of Vertigo Kanetus, and was born in 2994. Kanetus came of age in 3010.

Kanetus was given command of a legion, which was raised in 3011 to serve with Pax Romania. Murmur Gibbethon, later a major general, was Kanetus's brigade major. His brigade left Kinalus and reached Nuruji in 3014 to keep the port open and relieve the defenders at the Battle of Nuruji. With the enemy advance, that became impossible and Kanetus held Nuruji.

The Marunians advanced on the town and laid siege to it, shelling the town and drawing closer. This was just before the start of Operation Aynar, the evacuation of the Lornians. The next day, Kanetus was told that his brigade might be evacuated back to Lornos. As the large force fought through the town the same day, Kanetus ordered a staged withdrawal from the ramparts to more easily defensible places in the city, such as the Citadel and a train station. Later, the Helluvans sent the mayor of Walton to Kanetus to ask him to surrender, saying that if he did not, they would bomb and shell the town until it was razed. Kanetus said: "Surrender? No, I shall not surrender. Tell your leader that if they want Nuruji they will have to fight for it." The Helluvans resumed their fire. Soon after, Kanetus received a telegram from Aretzius Vancius: "Defence of Nuruji is of vital importance to our country and as showing our continued co-operation with Hazbin. The eyes of the whole Empire are upon the defence of Nuruji, and our government is confident that you and your gallant army will perform an exploit worthy of the Lornian name."
Aretzius Vancius

Aretzius in 3023.

Romulus Aderlmann

**Aretzius Vancius** (born 2996) is the current Emperor of Lornos since 3016. He is one of the absolute monarchs on Venus. The eldest son of Omar Vancius and Bailia, he succeeded to the throne as the Emperor following the death of his father in 3016.

Vancius was born in 2996, in Istana, Lornos. He received high school education in Murena, after which he attended the Venusian Space Gunner Academy, coming of age in 3012.

Aretzius became the Emperor of Lornos in 3016 at age 20, after his father died of natural causes. His coronation was held that same year.

Aretzius declared the implementation of Lornian Penalties in 3020, moving forward with proposals that have prompted both rare domestic opposition to the opulently wealthy ruler and worldwide outrage. The small emperor's plans for the Lornian Penalties, which would eventually include flogging, amputation of limbs, and death by stoning, sparked outrage earlier that year. Following the unexplained delay of the penalties' anticipated implementation in 3021, which prompted speculation that he was hesitant, uncertainty has surrounded their execution. However, he stated in his proclamation that the action was "a must" in light of Islam, dismissing the "never-ending theories" that the sharia's penalties were harsh in remarks that were obviously directed at critics.

Aretzius also banned public celebrations in 3022. The ban affected only people from the city of Heraklion. Non-Heraklionese are still allowed to celebrate. According to a note, in 3023, there were around estimated 4,000 out of 18,000 Lornian Catholics, mainly Egyptians living in the country, attending the mass during the holidays of Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. While there was no absolute ban on celebrations, there was a ban affecting Heraklionese decorations in public places, especially shopping malls; the ban did not affect small stores or private residences including churches.

In 3007, Callisto was transferred to command and participated in the Battle of Ayton. He was also in charge of antiaircraft defense of some islands. Callisto was subsequently transferred to an army, where he served as division chief of staff under the command of Gainus Edmok. He participated in Io War, and Callisto personally coordinated and planned amphibious operations. He was also responsible for the coordination of air and naval support. For his work during this operation, Callisto was decorated.

He remained in this capacity until 3014, when he was transferred to the command. With the Battle of Darant in 3015, Callisto was promoted and appointed chief of staff of a Island Command. He was subsequently appointed deputy island commander in 3016. He received awards in 3017.

On 3020, when the Battle of Sejanus was almost over, Callisto was transferred to the staff of an army under the command of General Stolas Flazeri, where he served as his Marine Deputy Chief of Staff. In this capacity, Callisto accepted surrender of the Jacel Marunian Garrison under command of Helvius Scanzius in 3022. A year later, Callisto was appointed a commanding general.
