Alasius Arterius

Alasius Arterius (2864 CE - present) is the third son and fourth child of Desolas Arterius II and Nihlus Kryik, born aboard The Nexus in the Andromeda Galaxy's Heleus Cluster. Like his brothers and sister before him, Alasius was artificially conceived and grown "in vitro". He was named in honour of the late Alasius Carteia, Desolas' former Kabalim and lover, who died on the human colony of Akuze in 2177 CE.

Alasius is in a long-term relationship with Nova Barro, the daughter of Macen Barro and his bondmate, Avitus Rix. Unbeknownst to him, he and Nova are actually distant cousins, as Avitus was born a member of House Abrudas' Carthaanean Branch before being given up for adoption. Alasius' paternal grandmother, Maea, was also a member of House Abrudas, albeit from the Palavenian Branch. Due to their shared ancestry, both Alasius and Nova are carriers of both the Aurelian gene and the pale gene, a fact which makes Alasius' father, Desolas, wary of their relationship. They are both descended from Markus Abrudas and Aurelion Aurelos.
