Melaira Mehrkuri

"'We all wear masks to hide the ugliness of this life that we lead.'"Melaira Mehrkuri is the only child of Maxim Mehrkuri and his wife, Palaea Natanus. Her father was killed in action during the Relay 314 Incident, leaving her mother to raise her alone. At sixteen years of age, she was married off to Primarch Regnaltus Fedorian I by her aunt - a daring political move which elevated her to the rank of conjux domina.

After her husband was killed by invading reaper forces in 2186 CE, Melaira married Achaeus Corinthus and completely retired from public life, much to her relief. She and Achaeus have two children together; a son named Tarquin and a daughter named Menaia Corinthus. She has a son named Regnaltus Fedorian II from her previous marriage, who she simply calls "Regi".
