If you seek my baptism, look to that moment when I lay dying on a lonely street in Meidua, my hand and ribs shattered, my skull cracked, my spine fractured. Seek the time when I was cut down while Crispin ascended to glory and the adulation of the crowd. I would watch the holos later, recovering in my rooms in Devil’s Rest, and see how flowers and banners were hurled at Crispin on the coliseum floor, how the people laughed and cheered for the gallant son of their archon and his stupid cape.”
— Hadrian Marlowe [1]
Heir apparent to Meidua Prefecture and Devil’s Rest on Delos; A violent and callow youth; Popular through his gladiatorial exploits, a notorious gambler and womanizer.

He [Aleister Marlowe] did it, Hadrian. He made himself a lord. A proper lord. He’s left Devil’s Rest to me, and what’s left of the prefecture—for what little it’s worth. The High College won’t grant me an heir.” He almost smiled, and said, “House Marlowe dies on Delos with me.”
