Darius is a Duke of An Tir, he has reigned three times - twice with Duchess Jacyntha Elizabeth Argentarius, and the third with his Lady Cometessa Morgaine Brigantia. During the first two reigns he was instrumental in the creation of the Patronage and of the Noble Estate. It was in his second reign that he formed a treaty with the Kingdom of Ansteorra to adopt the Order of the White Scarf for An Tir. He has put renewed emphasis on fealty during all of his reigns, with an effort to better reflect a period model. His most memorable event was his first in AS XV, when Strider and Catherine, then King and Queen of the West, came to Borealis. It was at this event that he received his first Award of Arms.
Dux Darius' persona is based in the early sixth century of Britain, he and his family and household have an estate near Glevum, where they try to keep the best qualities and ideals of the Roman era alive, in the face of the onrushing dark ages. He and his Lady try to forge a truce between that which is Roman in origin and that which is British. Bred of Patrician blood, but born on the Island outpost, after the Romans started to pull out, Dux Darius is happy to make his home in Britain, with his Celt lady beside him.
On a more personal note, Darius loves all things Roman and Romano-British, and likes a good political discussion. He is an avid history buff, and wargamer. Games of strategy and skill appeal to him. Darius is a gourmet cook, and enjoys recreating recipes from Apicius, and other period Italian dishes. His favorite flavours are chocolate and almond, coffee, and marzipan.
