Lucius van Aurelius

Rank: Legatus
Service: EX-ANIMUS; "18th Legion"
Position: Director of EX-ANIMUS

Race: Garlean
Age: Approximately Fifty+ Years

Alexanya tol Lunfal

Rank: Tribunus Laticlavius
Service: EX-ANIMUS - "The Raven's Court"
Position: Field Commander

Race: Duskwright Elezen
Age: 34 (Estimated)


Second in command to Legatus Aurelis, Alexanya is a foe that shows no mercy to her enemies, citing that all shall bend the knee, or fall. It is a belief that was drilled into her during her time in the IVth Legion, until she was reassigned to serve under Aurelius as a form of punishment for ordering an execution of an entire Garlean cohort for failing to achieve their strategic objective.

Since that moment, she has gone on to become the Tribinus Laticlavius of EX-ANIMUS. Her reputation as being a merciless commander and bloodthirsty strategist has earned her the moniker 'The Bloody Raven'.

It is this from which she has derived the name of her own special operations team; The Raven's Court. Skewed in shadows, not much is known, but where EX-ANIMUS does not reach, it can be assured that the Court can.

Radomir Drakavisch

Rank: Centurion
Service: EX-ANIMUS - Sector: DMSCA
Position: Commander of the Ram's Vanguard

Race: Bozjan Hrothgar
Age: 46 (Roughly)


Like many of her comrades in EX-ANIMUS, Radomir started out serving the IVth Legion, but felt the same desire of any Bozjan, freedom from the occupation. Her skills as a tactician and field commander ultimately led to her transfer from the IVth to EX-ANIMUS, to serve as the commanding officer for one of the first experimental "Vanguard Formations" in hierarchy of EX-ANIMUS.

Her prowess on the field was matched by only the most skilled of swordsmen in EX-ANIMUS, and for this, she was held in high regards by Legatus Aurelius. But praise was not much to go by, and she planned to escape one day, to flee and give what aid he could to her brothers and sisters of the still occupied Bozja.

That day came the moment that Tribunus Vanius lost control of Sector: GA, and the facility associated with it. Sent to oversee Operation: Lost Cargo, a clean-up operation, she and several others managed to escape in the middle of the night after their camp had been set up, making it safely into Eorzea several months before the Alliance would initiate the Liberation of Ala Mhigo.

Alnex lux Aeternus

Rank: Primus Medicus
Service: EX-ANIMUS Sector: GLMD
Position: Chief Scientist of EX-ANIMUS

Race: Pureblood Garlean [Half-Breed Hyuran]
Age: 36 Years


Born betwixt an unmarried union of a Hyur and Pureblood Garlean in one of the earliest conquered territories under the Empire. His mother died in childbirth, and was left to be raised by his father, who fell in battle during an uprising in Dalmasca, while Alnex was still young, at the age of fourteen.

He signed up for service after completing his medical studies as a teenager prodigy at age 16, forging documents to actually be of age to be accepted into the military. As the son of a Pureblood, and being a Hyur, he was able to hide his half-breed nature surprisingly easily and rose through the ranks. His Legatus found out about his heritage, but judged him on merit as opposed to his race. As such, he was allowed to continue operating on behalf of the Empire.

He is listed as a Pureblood Garlean on his official documents. In his 5 year stint as the XVIIIth Imperial Legion’s Primus Medicus (First Medic), he has rediscovered Traders Spurn and thus Alchemical necromancy. He has also weaponized voidsent summoning by teaching recruits from the conquered states how to summon voidsent - without proper training as to how to even begin to barter with them. He has deployed numerous fledgling thaumaturges to their deaths to summon large voidsent to disrupt enemy lines, often working with the Architectus Ordinum to ensure that airships can paratroop these “toy soldiers” deep into enemy territory so the voidsent won’t later become an issue for the XVIIIth.

Beyond this, in secret he practices not only Thaumaturgy but true Black Magic. He uses his ability to cast Thaumaturgy to surprise unsuspecting foes who believe he replies solely on magitek and alchemy.
