Loup, Constantine Lyautey (1613–). Frumst Frainan of Benacia Command and Szodan of the Unified Governorates of Benacia. A former Magister of the Imperial Army and one of the few to emerge from the War of Lost Brothers with his reputation enhanced by the capture and occupation, albeit temporary, of Diwangdao (the Regent Isles) in Batavia. His response to the Kalirion Fracture, namely to extricate the armed forces from the tottering structure of the Imperial Republic, prevented the descent of an entire continent into wholesale anarchy albeit at the price of paving the way for usurpers to carve up the empire.

For a man who has come to have a firm grasp upon the destiny of entire nations and to have dictated the fate of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of lives over the course of his career, Constantine Loup has proven to be an intensively private individual who, habitually, kept as low a profile as his increasingly exulted station would permit. At every level, whether the local administration, the Command Executive, or at the Permanent Commission in Lindstrom, Loup has shown himself to be in favour of collective decision making, albeit often impatient of over-reliance upon the processes and procedures favoured by some. Whilst capable of cruelty, a trait that no-one endeavouring to hold Benacia together can entirely avoid, Loup has so-far failed to demonstrate the sadistic and narcissistic tendencies which bedevilled so many of his predecessors and contemporaries.

Long suspected of being a "confirmed bachelor", Loup had in fact married the daughter of his housekeeper in a private ceremony conducted in 1661. His daughter, and thus far his only child, Guendolen, was duly born the following year.
