| The Helix The Helix is the ruling body of the Inlustris, a cabal of powerful and intelligent beings, both mundane human and mighty Uziel. The original helix was comprised of eight sorcerers and psychics, Roman Senators all. In the beginning years, one had to be a Senator to sit on the Helix. These days a being is judged by their accomplishments and deeds rather than their pedigree. The Helix is made up of eight officers, each of which fulfills a specific role. All officers are determined by election, including the Princeps-Ell. Elections are held every three years, except in the case of the Princeps-Ell, which elections are held for every year. Currently, the offices are as follows: Princeps-Ell: The person who fills this position is the overall ruler of the Aerie and the Inlustris. Effectively a monarch. Currently held by Daphne Covenant, a 7th level Sensitive Uziel / Psiren hybrid. Imperator-Ell: The leader of the Shining Legion, the military arm of the Inlustris which combines the Uziel along with ranks of sorcerers and psychics. Currently occupied by Nicodemus Valkier, a 9th level Psychokinetic Uziel. Magister-Ell: The person responsible for teaching all of the youth living in the Aerie. Currently occupied by a 14th level Genius known only as Armande. Armande has held this position for nearly 50 years. Magus-Ell: The representative of the magic users living in the Aerie. A role currently fulfilled by Angela Knight, an 8th level Mystic. Animus-Ell: The representative of the psychics living in the Aerie (not including the Uziel). The current representative is Psyche Rake, a 7th level Psiren. Uziel-Ell: Like above, the representative of the Uziel population living in the Aerie. A position currently held by the elderly Simon Lucius, a 15th level Healer Uziel. Scriptor-Ell: The head historian and librarian of the Aerie. This person keeps track of all records relating to the Aerie, from births and deaths to keeping the library in order. Currently filled by James Lector, a 6th level Acolyte. Custos-Ell: The butler of the Aerie. The Custos-Ell keeps track of all food supplies and mundane work required to keep the Aerie livable. The current Custos-Ell is Peter Hayden, one of the few mundane humans in residence at the Aerie. He is equivalent to a 10th level Acolyte. Return to The Inlustris |
