Editing The Viaticus Dynasty (section)

=== Personal Assistants and Guards ===
'''Annabelle Smith, Personal Aide to the Lord-Captain''' The twenty-something aide to Lord-Captain Lupin is, snarky tongues say, the singlemost deadpan individual on Exaviar's World, someone who would use the same tone of voice describe the details of a thirty-megaton food hauler's cargo to an attack by blood-crazed traitor Astartes. Came into the service of Alexis after he won her work-contract in an extended game of Hexagon Chess with a less-than-legal individual. She, in turn, took it in stride with nothing more than a "Very well" and a rucksack's worth of personal possessions. Now, five years later, she is still very much the same: ever deadpan, entirely lacking a sense of humor and a talented time manager. Physically attractive, but rendered less-than-interesting to the Lord-Captain due to her wooden personality, though still highly valued as an assistant.

'''Sergeant Ashley Jergen''' A survior of the previous pirate battle and the second highest ranking person on that rock. Though her duty was to take control and put down the uppity psyker, the fact that Aeysha managed to get them out of a rather tricky situation earned her loyalty. Acts as the head of the Astropathic Guard and bodyguard to Aeysha despite her protests, a capable guardswoman that little can really phase her.

'''Maxwell Liliam''' The team driver for when one of the astropaths needs to be driven somewhere. Mostly a young and hyperactive guardsman that would just want to go faster than anybody else on the planet, partially for the thrill, but mostly due to the fact if you're going that fast, nobody is going to be able to hit you. Still a little twitchy about the whole Chaos landing, and has the odd nightmare but doesn't let it keep him from running over or shotgunning an enemy in the face.

'''June and Julie, Assistants to Kommander Boris''' The incestuously close identical twin sisters who say little and touch each other a lot. Boris and co. rescued them from a war zone and they were unofficially adopted as the platoon mascots during the campaign. As he was the first person to show any kindness to them, they seem to have adopted him as their father figure. June has a mole just below her left eye and specializes in stabbing people, while Julie has a mole just below her right eye and has a penchance for shooting people. Or maybe it's the other way around.

'''Regina Tarakihi, Personal Aide to the Principal Navigator''' She was blessed with perfect memory, and had memorized a lot of useful things while worked at Adeptus Munitorium. She handled the logistics of the 'tribe', and without her, about a half of survivors would die from starvation and diseases. 

'''Pak Himov''' Ramirez's personal guard. Silent guy; most of the time you'll won't hear his voice at all. The only exception -- during combat he's rather loud, taunting the enemy and shouting commands. He's very proffessional with all sorts of slugthrowers, and prefers them to more powerful weapons.

'''Adept Crannis''' A survivor from a failing Archive house. He came into Darrius's service by dint of being honest. The rest of the small House were cheating on their payments to House Viaticus, Crannis's were the only accurate payments. Darrius let Crannis survive the assassins and took him in. A quiet man, born into a life of accounting and for the most part content there. While not an attractive man, he has a lust for women and Darrius keeps him supplied. A Senechal always has need of a good scribe, and a honest scribe more then others. 

'''Former Arbitrator Thomas Patric''' Every man has his weakness and Thomas's was the drink. His keen detective mind didn't prevent him from loosing his postion, his rank, and what remained at that point of his life. Darrius collected him up from the gutter and put him to work ferreting out trouble makers and traitors. Keeping him out of the bottle, that's a job unto itself.

'''Private Molly Sammus, ret.''' The Imperial Guard sent her across the galaxy to ply her trade, killing. Adept with anything smaller then a Leman Russ she serves as Darrius's bodyguard and murderer. Known as Old Dead Molly to the crew, she likes to wander the decks casting a shadow over the crew.

'''John Sammus''' Old Dead Molly's aren't easy to find. Killers, sure. But not loyal killers. But when you rescue their son's from Imperial prisons and erase what records you can find, that usually helps. John pulls his weight on the ship though with his ability to find a black market deal three decks away. If its illegal, and valuable John can usually track it down. A skill his mother looks on with no small amount of pride at.
