Spokesman Memillius, the leader of the Void Union and community leader of the Sphaera Imperator asteroid habitat, is a multifaceted character driven by vengeance, ambition, and manipulation. While presenting himself as a caring leader to the people, his true nature harbors deep grudges towards Fortius and Clan Bethel, fueling his motivations and actions.
Vengeance is a powerful driving force within Spokesman Memillius. He holds a deep-seated resentment towards Fortius, the tech-priest guardian of the smelting furnace, and Clan Bethel, who he perceives as betrayers. The acts of Necro-mechanic Fortius when lobotomizing the 12 leaders of the families and reprogramming them to servitude have left a lasting impact on him as he lost his father and he seeks to enact retribution against those he feels have wronged him and his faction.
Ambition permeates every aspect of Spokesman Memillius’ character. He possesses an unyielding desire for power and influence, aspiring to extend his control over the Void Union and the Sphaera Imperator community. His ambitions drive him to manipulate situations and individuals to further his own agenda, always seeking opportunities to expand his authority and secure his dominance.
One notable trait of Spokesman Memillius is his tendency to appoint relatives to positions of power. He favors nepotism, utilizing family connections to consolidate loyalty and control. Enforcer Thurio, his nephew, serves as a prime example of this practice, enabling him to establish a network of trusted individuals who will execute his directives without question.
While manipulating circumstances and individuals, Spokesman Memillius adeptly presents himself as a caring leader to the people. He masks his vengeful and ambitious nature behind a charismatic and compassionate facade, strategically cultivating a sense of trust and loyalty among his followers. This enables him to maintain control over the Void Union and the Sphaera Imperator community, as his true motivations remain hidden from public view.
In summary, Spokesman Memillius is a character defined by his vengefulness towards Fortius and Clan Bethel, ambition for power, and manipulative nature. He presents himself as a caring leader to the public while harboring deep grudges and employing strategic maneuvers to achieve his goals. Through the appointment of relatives to positions of power and his skillful manipulation of others, he maintains control and works towards his own ambitions within the Penitus Balteus asteroid field.
