Aurelius Crass

Aurelius Crass has served the Dynasty for as long as anyone can remember, ostensibly as chief financial advisor to Macharius Kai, though it is an open secret that he also runs a spy ring.

Unflinchingly loyal to the Dynasty and the ship, he also always keeps a close eye on the bottom line. There is no one and nothing he will not sacrifice to safeguard the ship and it's profits.

Aurelius is a frail looking man in his seventies, though advanced medications keep him spry. He usually sports expensive suits mimicking Imperial Navy uniforms in style and colouration, though he has never served in any military capacity.

Background Story
Born into a vassal family to the Kai dynasty, Aurelius was groomed for his job from the day he could eat solids.

He has served the family in various posts throughout his life, and is known to have an encyclopedic knowledge of the many branches of the familys enterprises.

Personality
Motivated mostly by riches for the Dynasty and advancement within it's ranks, Aurelius is a cold and calculating man. Though quiet and contained in conversation and confrontation, many who have crossed him have had occasion to regret this as they experience the reach of the beurocracy that runs the Salvator Kai.

His exalted position has left him proud and quick to take offence, and the crew know Aurelius to be a man who cherishes his grudges.

Now and then, he also exhibits an independent streak, and will not hesitate to bend rules or interpret orders if he thinks it will gain the Dynasty, and that he will get away with it. He has little regard for the safety or happiness of the common crewman, a trait that has left him little loved by the lower orders, but his consistent results have made him more or less indispensible to the smooth running of the ship.
