Category: The House of Athena

An Apollonian Catholic Bishop who serves as the court priest to the house of Athena.

Dmitri Telperian is the court tutor and personal secretary for Princes Jonas and Stephen. His primary duties are to oversee their education. However, he also is in charge of their schedule and court duties as well. King Nicholas has given power over both their schedule and their education to make sure that the former doesn’t overwhelm the latter.

King of the House of Athena and the most influential ruler of the democratic monarchists in the Pax Imperium. He is perhaps the third most powerful politician in the Pax Imperium behind the Pax Empress and the CEO of the Unity Corporation.

The second son to King Nicholas Athena. Jonas is second in the line of succession to the throne behind his older brother Stephen.

Helena Porter was a Professor of Computer Science and AI specialist at the Olympia College of Engineering and Math in the capital city on Athena. She argued very early on that the Unity Corporation was preparing for war. At the time she was considered a fear monger among the bureaucrats of the kingdom of Athena. She became a minor celebrity and sought after pundit when her fears proved correct.

When her husband Roger Gillian was ordered into reeducation during the occupation, Porter used her influence at the MoD to get herself placed on a gate construction mission to the Arcadia system. The mission launched on August 3, 328. It was no secret that the MoD was happy to let her go, as her presence was a continued thorn in its side during the occupation.

Porter is the only woman ever to give birth on an interstellar gate construction mission.

Roger Gillian was one of thirty-nine survivors of the Athenian troop carrier Calliope, destroyed in the battle for Apollos.

He was also one of two pilots on the Athenian Gate Placement Mission D102 and the father of Brody Porter-Gillian, the only child ever to be born on a gate placement mission.
