Aelius Arcturius

Aelius Arcturius is a Historical Player Character.

## History

Born the last son of House Arcturius, Aelius spent the years adventuring with his two slaves - and eventually friends - **Raia** and **Ras'kir**. These two served him faithfully, and dutifully for many long years. Although initially Aelius had treated them as prized servants, he eventually came to think of them as close friends and allies, and eventually, the line between friend and slave was blurred entirely, until he realized that slavery was wrong. Although he knew the world was not ready for such an upheaval of change, he freed both Raia and Ras'kir, and when he became too old to adventure, he gave his blessing to Raia to explore the world; as she was a Half-Elf, his old was her middle-age.

Although Aelius' call to fame would be primarily in his rebuilding of his House, and helping usher in a new technological age within **Catania**, he would eventually be entombed within a hidden family crypt underneath his House's Manor in the Capital City of Catania.

## Appearance

Aelius was tall, with striking white hair and bright, blue eyes. He often was fond of wearing noble clothing, and although he was proficient in it's use, he had a spear that he did not often use.

## Personality

Aelius was a forceful personality; commanding any battlefield he took to, and doing his best to ensure every ally escaped alive. During one incident, Raia was put unconscious by a foe, prompting Aelius to fly into a rage and descend upon that enemy, destroying them in moments.

## Accomplishments

Aelius had a good life for a human, and accomplished many notable things.

* Spent significant time and effort into advancing technology in Catania.
* Helped establish numerous villages in Catania's influence, fighting back monsters and aiding colonists.
* Explored numerous lands for Catania to settle.
* As he became older, when Catania announced itself as the **Kingdom of Catania**, Aelius used his influence with the Kingdom to create the **Phoenix Knights**. An organization of Elite Warriors in service to the Royal Family. Although eventually this organization would become known as an organization of Elite Warriors, rather than the guardians of the Royal Family.
* Left Raia with an enormous stipend so she could continue to fight for abolishing slavery in the world.
* Donated vast sums to the **Adventurer's Guild**, starting numerous Guilds in many new towns and villages, finding that the flow of adventurers increased the economy of a town tenfold.
* As he neared his death, Aelius hired a writer to write for him while he spoke. He spent a year providing advice and knowledge to be written down for later generations.
* With one of his final acts, Aelius took the Spear that he had been using for years - that had grown in power and strength for decades, that had served as a symbol of his House, and with a burst of Magic, he threw it. It would travel through the Ethereal Plane, and come out somewhere in the world. He hoped that this Artifact would one day serve as a symbol of hope and rebirth to the people of Catania, if they can find it. He knew where it would end up, and left clues in various writings.
