Thane
Count Charon Von Dimosthenis

The Thane of Secyclion is a tall man, Secyclionian by birth, and born out of a Noble family. Aged Fifty-four ordinates, he still remains a bear of a man. He has a hair of pure black even at his age, an he is virile, manly and still roars with a loud voice whenever he is enraged. Quick to temper and little time for patience, he is not known to be the most merciful of all men, instead, believing that harsh punishments should be meted out to deter future felons. After ascending to the position of the Thane at the age of Twenty-Eight, Count Charon had overseen the development of many of the sectors within Secyclion, including the building and implementation of flood-resistant buildings in Neos Megalis as well as the restoration of the 'Mother of Secyclion' statue.

His raptor green eyes are usually disconcerting enough, never mind his stature, or his liking for Black Ram felt, dyed red -- which he wears from head to toe. And while he was born a Noble, he never shielded them. Instead, he passed a law stating that for whatever crime a Noble commits, he or she shall receive twice the punishment compared to a commoner. He is a firm advocate of law and order, and under his rule, crime rates are low, and gallows are largely empty, while things went on efficiently.

Rumors has it that he was a private pen of sharks to throw people who annoy him into, but of course, those could be just figments of an overactive imagination... or not.

Constable
Arkadios "Two Tones" Chalice

Arkadios is a fearsome man, and the general low crime rate can be attributed to him and the Thane's tough stance on crime. Arkadios takes his work very seriously, and is the sort that leads by example. A tall but lanky man at 6'4", he has dark brown hair that is always trimmed short, and the same shade for his eyes that were deep set, giving him an intimidating look almost immediately.

When Arkadios walks on the streets or moves from place to place, people stand to acknowledge him, thank him for all he has done, though he never smiles. It is believed that he is able to mind read a criminal just by looking into his eyes, and there was the rumors of him being able to make the toughest of all men break down and weep after being in an interrogation session with him.

Nicknamed "Two Tones", Arkadios is a mute after contracting the Pox some Eras ago. He has been that way ever since, and the only two noises he can make is a 'squeak' or a 'grunt'. Those who know him are able to tell what he wants through a series of grunts and squeaks, which may seem a little comical until he's staring down at you. Whatever the case, it is, Arkadios remains one of the most influential and feared man in the island City, and few would do cross his path, much less cross him.

Prefect
Lady Aglaia Arethusa

The Lady Aglaia hails from a famed House of Iefferon, who have boasted droves of prominent members of Eunesia's City Councils, more accurately, the fields of justice and law. She is the youngest daughter of the Household, and made her name in many of Iefferon's high profile cases as an advocate; slowly carving her own niche before being appointed as the Prefect of Secyclion.

Unlike the Thane and Constable who often seem dour faced and stern, the Lady Aglaia has the nickname 'The Smiling Lioness'. At the tender age of Twenty Eight, she seems too pretty to be able to manage such a prestigious and demanding role, her petite frame at 5'6" may not be as intimidating as one may think. Brown haired, green eyed and tender voiced, it's her eyes that truly reveal the experience she has in her work, eyes that seemed to be able to discern the truth from the false just by looking at someone. Her smile, which she is most famous for, disturbs several somewhat, mainly because it is impeccable, revealing her full set of white teeth that instantly makes her an attractive woman if not for the post she holds.

Taking alignment from the Thane himself, she is highly efficient and strict, holding numerous trials throughout the Brightening, and tries to minimize waiting time prior to the actual sentencing. Because of her strict, but nevertheless fair punishments, the Secyclion gaol has remained relatively empty since she took over the office, and she has also introduced numerous reforming activities to ease the prisoner's return into society upon their release.

Baron Ajax Xanthe

Another influential character of Secyclion is the Baron Ajax Xanthe. Many who comes to Secyclion might not know of the island, but they certainly know of this man. At an age of Thirty-Four, he is a man of his prime, one of the richest men in the whole of Eunesia, and runs a shipping business left by his late father. The Baron is singlehandedly responsible for drawing hordes of tourist to the City with his Masquerade Parties that are held at the turn of every season in the posh Estate of the Galanos which draws hundreds of tourists.

A handsome man of Secyclion blood, he is the admiration of men and the idol of the women. While his might lay not in the realm of politics, it is said that even the City Council sometimes fear displeasing the man because of his indirect clout with the way the island city is being run. He is impeccably garbed, always in suave, expensive garments, and ever the gentleman, charming, charismatic, a perfect man, though no one is perfect now, or can they be?

Entry to his grand Estate is strictly based on invitation only, and those who had the honor of being invited claims that the Baron throws some of the best parties in the region. The Baron seems to care little for politics, to the extent where he would readily refuse entry even if the other party is an important member of the Empire or if he held Governmental positions elsewhere.

He is quick to laughter, quick to make friends, and for those under him, they enjoyed riding on his tides of success. Only problem with the Baron is that, like most men who get so powerful and rich, he gets bored easily, and is ready to forget friends as fast as he makes them.
