==Background==
=== Overview ===
'''Devotion to the House of the Peregrine'''<br>
To be a Wadsworth is to serve the Peregrine Dynasty; this is the truth that each generation is born with, and this is the truth that each generation dies upon.  Every holder of the Warrant of Trade has been accompanied by a Wadsworth, and none that carry the name have betrayed the house.

Each member of Orelius' family has served the Peregrines in one way or another; while by tradition the position of manservant and seneschal has been taken by a direct descendent of the last to serve in that capacity, the dynasty requires many trusted agents, clerks and heralds.  While not all factors and representatives of the house have been Wadsworths, a majority have.

Orelius himself was born the grandson of Marcus Wadsworth, the previous manservant of the Peregrine and the son of Augusta Wadsworth, who held the position of steward of the main estates upon the world of <originating world of the Peregrine>.  One of five grandchildren groomed to replace the Wadsworth, Orelius was selected to accompany the Peregrine when his grandfather retired to tend to the Dynasty's finances in more detail.  He has now served in this role for over nine decades and four Peregrines; Victoris will be the fifth he has tended to.

'''Protecting the Honour of the Dynasty'''<br>

'''A Proper Servant is Rarely Noticed'''<br>

'''His Place is by his Master's Side'''<br>
Orelius performs a number of duties on behalf of his charge.  Perhaps the most important is the manager of the finances of the ship and, ultimately, the entire Dynasty.  Other members of the Wadsworth family ensure solid long-term investments and monitor the webwork of funds and favors, but to Orelius falls the roll of ensuring that the Peregrine's decisions and needs are reflected in the House's investments.  In this role the ship's young Purser, Exalion Relyth, reports directly to him on the state of the vessel's liquid funds, as does the experienced Steward, Wycliff Wadsworth.  

While there is no formal (or informal) Master of Whispers, Orelius has several individuals among the crew that keep him abreast of the state of morale and loyalty.  If there is crew unrest, Orelius will no doubt shortly learn of it... and usually equally promptly deal with it (diplomatically if possible, violently if not) without bothering Captain Victoris over such inconsequentials.

While he usually tends to his charge's personal needs, when on bridge during battle Orelius is liable to be found managing the sensors of the great vessel.  Out of battle, he tends to leave the operations of the augurs and the vox to specialists.
