## Overview

***SentryLanius***; also formerly known as ***Ares Harju*** and ***HalcyonLanius***, is a Human male who served formerly within the Harju Initiative and the Halcyon Resolve as Imperator and Superintendent respectively. Additionally, he was also known as ***SalientLanius*** for a short time. Originating within the Halo Military Clan Community in 2012, he is most notable for his role as founder of the Harju Initiative and for being the past planned successor to HalcyonVisari for the title of Chairman, though this fact was eventually self-rebuked. ***Lanius*** has an arguably twisted background within the community with extensive knowledge on the pattern of the community.

## History

Originating from a point of irrelevance then advancing to a stage of moderate relevance, ***Lanius*** began his career in the Halo Military Community in 2012, however he only came into what is defined as the central portions of the community in 2016 with the formal establishment of the Harju Initiative and the Harju Consulate.

Eventually down the path of his career in early 2017, ***Lanius*** first met HalcyonVisari and established a friendship with him as well as relations between the Halcyon Resolveand the early Harju Initiative in a rather unofficial manner. This eventually led to his decision to adopt a Halcyon title and join the Halcyon Resolve, with the name 'Lanius' being a recommendation from HalcyonVisari. ***Lanius*** would soon after completely become a Halcyon, becoming ***HalcyonLanius*** and eventually being described as the intended protégé of HalcyonVisari personally in the later portions of 2017. It is worth note that in modern times, ***Lanius*** has since distanced himself from this fact and rebuked it's sincerity of potential.

Forward two years through some sporadic service, ***Lanius*** would engage in a personal dispute with HalcyonVisari and partly the membership of the Administrative Committee of the Halcyon Resolve, in late November of 2019 specifically, resulting in his voluntary departure and additionally his permanent and lasting excommunication from the Halcyon Resolvein it's entirety.

In February of 2020 after a short break from the community, ***Lanius*** would ask SalientStrike for the privilege to join the Salient Eternal, to which he was accepted. ***Lanius*** officially became a Salient on March 1 of 2020, however due to issues with the updated gamertag policies later became a member of the Sentry Empire in order to truly achieve the name 'Lanius', which ***Lanius*** himself has stated the reasoning as by exact quote:

*"Despite where this name came from, I developed a attachment to it that I hadn't really made with any other. To that I realized that I can uplift the name from where it started, so that is what I will do."*

In late May of 2020, specifically May 15, the Transitional United Union Federation was created as a incremental reorganization of the late United Union Federation. Under this reorganization ***Lanius*** became a Commissar of the Salient-Sentrian Party, a single party uniting both the Sentry Empire and Salient Eternal that serves as the governing body of the organization. In addition to the rank of Commissar, the sub-position of Inspector General of the SSB (State Security Bureau) was appointed to him.

Although still active in the centralized community, ***Lanius*** currently prefers to keep to himself, some within the Lanial ideology, and his closest direct military associates in the Transitional United Union Federation as of 2020.

*"For Party, For Strike. This is the phrase we will abide by, and the one that we will also forever prosper by."*

## Legacy

The legacy of ***Lanius*** is one of great controversy, as every action taken was in the interest of objectiveness without care for how he was perceived. In terms of the greater community he holds very little weight, however to those he comes in contact with he often affects them in an either overly positive or overly negative way in interest of some greater goal. His legacy, being one of many skills and charisma, is recognized by many he has spoken to.

## Personality & Traits

Throughout his history, ***Lanius*** developed a pragmatic and logic focused personality and became highly self-sufficient. The principle statement of his being:

*"Effectiveness is incredulously more important than reputation. If for any reason that is sacrificed to attain a reputation boost, they hold only their image in value."*

In many instances he clashes with others over seemingly insignificant things that he interprets as a potential issue in the future, which often times results in quick debate which generally sees all pieces of the board to his side. This logical and procedural deduction mindset takes precedent in every action, word, and speech that he makes. In addition, he is also known to utilize individuals short tempers and egos to further his own goals through unintentional outbursts, as in anger thought of what you say is not completed properly, nor is the speech filter consistent.

## Notes & Trivia

* Virulently uses the insult 'desk jockey' to anger people he thinks are too hands off.
* Prefers the term 'organization' as opposed to "clan". He has stated prior that to call military groups "clans" is a disservice to what they are doing in the community, creating a militaristic roleplay environment.
* Has an unnatural obsession with grayscale images.
