Brutus Aurelius

Brutus Aurelius is the current Commander of the Sarrakeen Guard. He was appointed in 10178 PV by Padishah Emperor Malik Ferrino IV, replacing his mentor, Alrond Metticus.

In 10198 PV, his control over the Floating Markets and Grotto was stripped and given to Fredrico Farcozi after his handling of the war with the gangs of the Grotto and the abomination's attack at its end.

That same year, Aurelius was murdered in secret by Farcozi. Farcozi was caught red-handed, but was granted a merciful sentence due to Aurelius's discovered connections to demonic rituals happening under the Keep.

Reputation
When Aurelius became Commander, he took a much harder stance against the rampant organized crime stemming from the Grotto. His iteration of the Guard saw a harsher crackdown on crime as a whole, often at the ill will of innocent residents of the Grotto.

Simultaneously, the extreme crackdown saw a lack of oversight on corruption within the Guard itself. This has furthered the divide between the Grotto and the Sarrakeen Guard.

Aurelius himself is known as a cruel man, often exacting as much punishment as the law will allow. His extreme commitment to justice has given him a favorable reputation amongst residents of the High City and the Vasilonian Terraces.

Appearance
Aurelius is an aasimar, possessing the unnatural beauty characteristic of his race. He is slight of build and short, often exaggerated further by the robes he prefers. His skin and hair are abnormally light. Despite his age, he looks quite young, largely due to his aasimar heritage.
