Following the events of Kingdoms of Death, Hadrian Marlowe no longer has the highmatter sword given to him by SIR OLORIN MILTA. However, after Tor Gibson's death in Ashes of Man, Hadrian leaves Colchis and returns to Maddalo House on Nessus, where he contemplates whether the Jaddian assassin Irshan on Forum used Lord Augustin Bourbon's personal highmatter blade. The mint mark on the highmatter reservoir is the Greek letter Φ (phi), meaning the sword was made on Phaia, not Jadd. This led VALKA ONDERRA to the hypothesis that the sword may likely be Philippe Bourbon's (Gibson's) sword, surrendered before his exile to Belusha.
Following the events at the Battle of Perfugium, HADRIAN MARLOWE was thrown in the brig of the ISV Tempest for assaulting the EMPEROR WILLIAM XXIII. Though he was sentenced to time on the prison-planet Belusha, Hadrian was broken out as part of a escape plan designed by his friends SIR OLORIN MILTA, TRIBUNE BASSANDER LIN, and LORIAN ARISTEDES. The consequences of this plan meant that Lorian would take Hadrian's place on Belusha and Jadd would secretly (but no-so-secretly) harbor Hadrian and the surviving Dragonslayers as political fugitives.

He [LORIAN ARISTEDES] could recall one particularly bloody occasion in which his commandant [HADRIAN MARLOWE] had slashed the throat of one particularly peacocking swordsman for the crime of attempting to fondle his lady [VALKA ONDERRA] at a fete to honor the restoration of Imperial rule onAptucca. What had his name been? Dominic? Donric? Daunoras?
ThePresent:Dregs of Empire, Chapter 1: The Prison Planet
Once, when theImperial Red Companyhad bivouacked onColchis, he had sat on tribunal to judge a man accused of raping one of the fisher girls on the islands where their soldiers had been permitted to land. The man was surely guilty—five of his brothers had confirmed it. They had watched. Hadrian had ordered the guilty man hanged, his compatriots whipped.
But Hadrian was gone, andLorian’s authority with him. There were no collar tabs on his lapel, no mark or badge of rank.
The Dregs of Empire, Chapter 4: The Paracoita
“You can’t be here . . .” His voice was barely more than a whisper. “It’s not . . . possible.”
“What is it I always say,Aristedes?” askedHadrian Marlowe, crouching before him. The Devil of Meidua was dressed all in black, as was his custom. His trailing officer’s coat puddled about his heels. He offered Lorian his hand—his left hand, the hand he had lost fighting the Cielcin and had been restored by theKingofVorgossos. “Always forward . . .”
“. . . always down,” Lorian breathed, completing the quotation.
“Or up, in this instance,” Hadrian said, and flexed his gloved fingers.
Lorian took his hand, felt the artificial bones beneath the flesh and glove leather, so solid it must be real. “You can’t be here, Marlowe,” Lorian said.
The old lord only smiled his broken smile, strangely self-effacing.
Then he was gone.
