Main Cast

At 18, Katya Cassius joined the Magistrate Armed Forces. While she’d earned her wings, she ended up at one dead-end land post after another, eventually landing on Reznic – the dead ends of dead ends. Thanks to the string-pulling of her Reznic commander, she received the command of The Maelstrom. While not glamorous, it got her off Reznic and into space. Her rescue of Sotiris, an Oneiroi toddler, leads to the complete dismantling of her career when she safeguards him.

She is the adoptive daughter of Faustus Cassius, a member of a prominent Magistrate family. Katya came into his care at around the age of four as the Magistrate launched a program to re-home Mramorian orphans from its war-torn surface.

Mina

Born on the city planet of Reznic, Mina keeps much of her history close to her chest. She spent most of her childhood alone, her parents fading in and out of her life until they departed for good. At fourteen, she fell into Katya’s orbit after the woman caught her breaking into a Magistrate Reznic military base.

After becoming Katya’s ward, Mina enrolled in the base’s school while also being taught how to pilot by Katya. The two left Reznic about a year after their meeting when Katya received a new posting onboard The Maelstrom. However, plans go array.

Sotiris Sarris

The son of Kallistrate and Amyntas Sarris, Sotiris is an Oneiroi child born with a genetic disorder that distorts his species’ already fearsome abilities into a danger for anyone around him. At age three, he slated to be given to Magistrate care, only he never arrives. Instead, he finds himself orphaned and in the care of Katya Cassius, who tries her best to care for him.

Akakios Sarris

Akakios is the captain of the Magistrate vessel, Boreas, and as such, has participated in numerous Magistrate special operations and interrogations. Akakios became an orphan at age 8 after his parents were killed in service of the Magistrate. He and his younger brother, Amyntas, came under the care of Kyros, who became a father figure.

Like many Oneiroi, Akakios has isolationist tendencies toward other species, often showing very little regard for their well-being and proving very willing to bully or use other species’ fear of Oneiroi to his advantage.

He is devastated by his brother’s and sister-in-law’s deaths and doggedly pursues his personal mission to reclaim his nephew, who he deeply loves.

Cassius Family

Faustus Cassius

Katya’s adoptive father has spent the bulk of his life traveling from one archaeological site to the next, with periodic stints at Magistrate universities. The father of six adopted children, he has fought to give each the opportunities best suited for them, even if he hasn’t always liked the paths they have chosen.

Minor Characters

Rein

A native of Reznic, Rein joined the Magistrate’s security force on his homeworld, enticed by the promise of a higher tier of citizenship in the Magistrate. He then followed Katya to The Maelstrom as its mechanic.

Kyros Anagnos

A supporter of Akakios’s family, Kyros served as something close to a foster father for him and his brother. He is also a long-standing member of the Agoranomi.
