The uniform made him look like a child in his father’s clothes, if that child were half-dead and had never seen the sun. He wasn’t even three cubits high! His guards towered over him, and that… ridiculous uniform… like he thought he was the Emperor. I would have laughed, if laughing wouldn’t have got me shot.
— A Ceutan Soldier [1]
Lorian Pelagius Maurce Aristedes was born the bastard son of Maurice Candossa, the Grand Duke of Patmos, and one his knight bodyguards, Lysandra Aristedes.

This, however, was before Lorian served under Hadrian Marlowe and came to be known as one of the brightest strategic minds in all of the Imperium. A devotee of the Order of the Eightfold Path of the Arthur-Buddha. [2][3]
