Aerillos Sathmantes

Aerillos Sathmantes, the current Admiral of Lys, did not come from impressive beginnings. His father Akros, a freed pillow-slave, did not care for him and his mother, a pillow slave, funneled what money she could to Aerillos assuring her son was free. Joining the Navy of Lys at 15 he slowly climbed the ranks until he reached the Admiral status. Eventually Aerillos married nobility, Ariadne Sathmantes, who was recently appointed on her fathers deathbed into the Magister position.

Aerillos is known for his impressive mind for naval warfare and his unshakable loyalty to Daena Rogare; as her father, Lysarus Rogare, was influential to his rise to Admiral.

Now most of his days are spent on patrols around Lys, port security, guarding trade vessels, and fighting corsairs. Despite the relative lull in activity Aerillos is ready for battle if need be.

Appearance and Character
The Blood of Old Valyria runs strong in Aerillos' veins and is visibly present. Platinum hair adorns his head that flows down to his shoulders. Anyone who meets his gaze will find piercing violet eyes that search for danger constantly. Scruffy white hairs are on his face as he does not shave too frequently. In a crowd he can be easily spotted as he stands 6'4." A life on the sea has helped strengthen Aerillos. His frame is broad and well muscled and he can wield a heavy two handed great-sword with relative ease.

Aerillos' demeanor is overall relatively pleasant. It is evident from his actions that his duty as Admiral is where his priorities lie but this does not prevent him from acts of kindness. He is not known for fits of rage or indulging in carnal desires as much (at least in comparison to the rest of Lys). Most of his time during the day is spent of the ocean or at the port training the Navy. At night he does not wander the street looking for pleasure house but instead goes home, to the Cerulean Manse. Getting him in a conversation is quite difficult because he rarely spends his free time chatting. This is not the case when he goes, or Ariadne hosts, a party of sorts. He is plenty talkative then.

Early Life:
Aerillos was not born into nobility, in fact, he wasn't even born free. His father, Akros, came from a long line of pillow slaves as did his mother, Kalliope. Both of them very attractive in their own right and looked like a Valyrian. Akros had been freed a few years prior to Aerillos' birth but Kalliope was still a slave. When he was born Kalliope lost any chance at freedom by begging Akros to help make sure he was free. Aerillos remembers lots of arguments between many different whores, slave masters, his father and mother, and many more about what to do. Eventually the decision was that he was free. Much of his early life was spent around pillow slaves still, not for sex but because those were who he knew. Aerillos grew up fast and saw much in the dark alleys of Lys. He watched his mother get killed by a greedy Volantine but was frozen in fear. Akros got greyscale and left to protect his son. Aerillos inherited nothing from either of them but his freedom, which was they best give he would ever receive. Until he was old enough to jain the Navy at 15 years of age he spent most of his time at an orphanage.
