appearance
A tall, imposing Imperial Human male clad in ornate military regalia, Commander-General Pailus has sharp features and that seem to assess every situation with calculated precision. His dark hair is slicked back, and he carries himself with an air of authority and confidence. His uniform is adorned with various medals and insignia, showcasing his rank and accomplishments, while a finely tailored cape drapes over his shoulders, signifying his noble heritage. He often has a servant or adjutant at his side, ready to cater to his every need.
personality
Pailus is ambitious, cunning, and self-serving, often prioritizing his own goals over the greater good. He possesses a silver tongue and a keen intellect, allowing him to navigate the treacherous waters of Scintillan politics with ease. While he can be charming and charismatic, he is also ruthless when it comes to achieving his ambitions, willing to sacrifice others if it means furthering his own power. He enjoys the finer things in life and often surrounds himself with luxury, viewing his military service as a stepping stone to greater wealth and status.
backstory
Commander-General Pailus hails from the noble houses of Scintilla, where he was raised in the lap of luxury. However, the weight of expectation from his family drove him to join the Scintillan Fusiliers, seeking to carve out his own legacy and escape the suffocating confines of high society. His ambition is to rise through the ranks, not out of loyalty to the Emperor, but to gain power and prestige, ultimately aiming for a position of influence within the Imperium. Pailus is known for his cunning strategies and ability to manipulate those around him to achieve his goals, often using his charm to win over allies and intimidate foes.
