Aeolus au Ignis

' "Lacrimosa is the last song played in the third section that splits the Requiem, it signifies the beginning of the end. What end you may ask? That is something entirely different from person to person. It does not always signify death, it could also mean that something new is on the rise." '

-Aeolus au Ignis, to Malleus au Votum during a friendly dinner onboard The Dark Dove

Early life
Aeolus was born to Firno and Ajan au Ignis on Paektu-Mountain. His days as a child were spent on training, studying and observing his father. He quickly understood his role, and from that moment to today he has been observed being a individualist and opportunist. He could never shake off his ego, which he got from being the best in most things while growing up.

Institute
Aeolus went to the Institute located in the Eastern Hemisphere of Earth. He was drafted to House Apollo, something that was fitting of his arrogance and wit. As a son of one of the influencing houses on Earth, matched with his intelligence and physique, Aeolus was given a lamb in his passage. The kill was clean and Aeolus thought nothing more about it than that it was his birthright. He was destined for so much more, and one bronzie would not stop him from achieving his dream of one day commanding a Dreadnought in the Sovereign's fleet.

During the Institute Aeolus made allies and friends alike, he had the charisma and the ability to talk people into a good mood. As he rose in his house he soon became Primus, and with it he went on a crusade crushing his enemies. Soon enough he had conquered Ceres, Diana, Juno, Venus and Jupiter. The remaining Houses had fallen to House Neptune, led by a Falthe. Their battle went on for some time, but little by little Aeolus managed to chip away his resources and forces. The last battle was a grand one and, even though he won, the battle was hard fought. He dueled the Falthe boy and won, but he and the Falthe were both hurt. With their ruler gone, however, there was no coordination and his army fell and Aeolus was declared the victor.

After the Institute
After the Institute Aeolus waited a few years, going to Luna and learning the ways of Gold and helping his father with their business, training and exporting greys, weapons, liquor and different sorts of food. During this time he also underwent razor and military training.

The Academy
After undergoing training and helping his father Aeolus went to the Academy. He went the same year as Killian, better known as The Reaper. Everything seemed to go his way, Aeolus felt at home at the bridge of the starship. He had already beaten out some competitors, but it was then when he met Killian. Killian's unorthodox methods were Aeolus' undoing. It was quite the battle, but Killian was always one step ahead and at last Aeolus was beaten. He did well enough to graduate.

After the Academy
After graduating Aeolus took over his father's fleet and began controlling Earth's airspace, though sometimes he also went with his father's trading fleet to protect them against pirates and such. He continued to improve as he did this for some years, but during this time he almost never visited home.

Fall of Luna
During the fall of Luna Aeolus was on standby over Earth, and he protected it until he got the message that the remaining Society forces were to regroup at Mercury. He bought enough time to evacuate his family and their assets.

Solar War
After regrouping with his family and the remaining society forces on Mercury, Aeolus was given the opportunity to pilot The Dark Dove. This was the start of House Ignis' alliance with the former Truth Knight Nikolaos au Fabii, turned Curse Knight. This was also the start of one of the great fleets in the Ash armada, the Fabii-Ignis fleet led by Nikolaos and Aeolus was his praetor. Aeolus is yet to do anything of importance, but under Nikolaos they have begun trying to figure out how to get trough the Rubicon Beacons.

As the Solar War progressed Aeolus drifted more and more away from his Father, resulting in him becoming Primus of his house after his father passed under questionable circumstances. With the newly acquired position Aeolus has reached out to Judus au Sejanus and other's to cement his position. Aeolus during this time has also been named Praetor First Class of the Societal Navy and a apprentice of the Ash Lord, making him in theory a very powerful man. Not only as Praetor of The Join Fabii-Ignis fleet, but also as the Society as a whole. Aeolus now rivals many of the most powerful gold's in Society.

Appearance
Aeolus is taller then most golds, handsome, inverted triangle shaped body with broad shoulders matching his height, his body proportional. His hair is golden cut short as a buzz cut with a tad bit of length, his beard matching his hair is a stubble. As he is of Asian heritage his eyes is oval with a set of sharp eyes, his upper lip a tad bigger then his lower, cheekbones higher then regular, but not as much as a full-blooded Asian, his face symmetrical and proportional. He wears no makeup, but his skin is clean and bright. Over his left eye he has a scar and on the other side his peerless scar. His face almost always in a neutral position, he can sometimes be seen with a smug. He is beaming proud, militaristic and bears the entitlement that comes with being the heir to his house.. He is not up to date with fashion and wears simplistic military standard clothes almost at any time. On his middle finger he has a ring that he was given by Firno the day he graduated from the academy. The ring used to be his late mother's.

Abilities and Skills
Aeolus is a excellent praetor and his skills have done him right. He is arguably on of the best praetors in the Ash Armada, not counting the Ash Lord. He is also a decent razor wielder, but pays no mind to it. It is only naturally since he never really cared for the art, it was enough to be decent at it.

Quotes

''Aeolus had been silent since they had entered Niko's office. His eyes gleaming of anger and hate. Do you not have any regards for your own family?

He slowly begins walking towards his father.  And then you do this?! You trade Argus to the devils themselves.  Aeolus is grinding is teeth and one step at a time he comes closer and closer to Firno, he begins moving his arm towards his razor.  You bring shame upon the ideals you once taught me. Peaceful my ass, you are a fraud, a deceiver. '' - Aeolus to his father after hearing that he has married away Argus to the Grimmus.

  Cyrus looks to Aeolus and says,'' "If you want tips, you can review lectures I've given at the Academy. I can do better Lord Ignis. I can take you on as an apprentice. You will be a Praetor First Class of the Societal Navy. On track for more and better honors above all your peers. But with conditions." Cyrus takes a sip as well, "Continue your alliances and friendships. But there will be no secrets from me. You will tell me what goes on in the halls of the Shatterheart and what other allies you gather. And there may come a day, when I will call on you to forsake your friends and alliances. If that day comes, you will be true to me. Those are my terms. '' - The Ash Lord to Aeolus
