He'd already drawn the attention of V'neef, and she played his patron from behind the scenes. In short order, he found his way into the V'neef Legion and rose quickly in the ranks, despite attempts to sabotage his career by the then-general, a Sesus man. Once he had the experience he needed under his belt - experience that V'neef made sure to provide by sending them to guard V'neef holdings in the South - V'neef quickly sent the old general packing, and gave Marilus the title, and a formal adoption into the House, as well.

His loyalties are clear: his Legion, the Throne and then the various Houses to which he is now affiliated. He does hope to manage a decent marriage with House V'neef to assist in his elevation, of course. Indeed, his elders have sent glowing letters of recommendation and inquiry into the possibility of marriage with one of the Satrap's own daughters.

The Satrap's Office

Traditionally, the Satrap's offices consists of the Satrap and her Four Advisors. Though the ideal is to have at least three of the Advisors be Terrestrial Exalts, and all of them be from different Houses, it isn't always possible to manage. Two of the Advisors are Dragon-Blooded (of Houses V'neef and Sesus), and the other two are patricians of Houses Cathak and Tepet.

The 34th Legion

One of the V'neef Legions, the Thirty-Fourth is assigned to defend Imperial holdings (and by that, it is understood to mean V'neef Holdings) primarily in the Varang City-States, with a small group of them stationed in Harbourhead, to secure House V'neef holdings there as well.

The Thirty-Fourth is not quite at full strength for a Legion, consisting of 8 dragons (500 men apiece) instead of the traditional 10. Its general, six dragonlords (one in Kriss, two in Yane, two in Talt and one in Harborhead) and two winglords (both in Yane) are Dragon-Blooded, with the rest of its officers being mortals. The Thirty-Fourth has the distinction of being quite well-equipped, however, thanks to deep V'neef coffers.

The Thirty-Fourth has garrisons in Kriss (3 dragons), Yane (2 dragons), Talt (2 dragons), and a final unofficial garrison in Harborhead for its final dragon.
