Location: Lakeshore
Affiliation: House Enestius
Rank: Proconsul
.
Arulius is a stern man in his late middle years. He gained great power through the war with Olivantia, but not through military exploits as most of his contemporaries did. Instead he made his fortune supplying the war effort. He sold everything from wine to eldimagi to the troops, making a tidy profit on each and every sale.
By the war’s end he was one of the richest men in the west, and he used that wealth to secure the title of Proconsul. Unfortunately, his political rivals tainted his victory. They arranged for his consulship to be in Lakeshore, far from the Hasran halls of power.
Arulius bears a bitter hatred for his opponents, but the only people he can take it out on are the unfortunate provincials he now governs. The Proconsul is a brutal overlord who follows the exacting letter of the law. His subjects revile and fear him, and all are careful to avoid his notice.
Arulius would like nothing more than to return to the capital, but in order to do so he needs some way to gain the Imperator’s favor. He schemes constantly for a discovery or victory that would allow him to return home. Nearly two decades after inheriting his elevated rank he still searches in vain.
