Family

The House of Serratus traces its ancestry back to Saratos of Litoras, fl. 1191 AN. Aloys's father, George Serratus, had been involved in the Antican Diaspora Society's efforts to safely relocate Antican Nationals out of the Antican homeland following the end of the Second Republic. At the time of the Catastrophe of 1596, George Serratus had been in the Antican colony of Myrtilis, Natopia, serving on the ADS Myrtilis Organizing Committee. Following that event, the newly-elevated Lord Serratus joined the delegation that visited Kaiser Aiomide in Shirekeep to advocate for the creation of a new Antican homeland under Shirerithian dominion, Kezan. George was unsuccessful in campaigning for a position on the Initial Land Survey of 1606 AN, but did co-chair the Parini Resettlement Panel from 1607 to 1620 AN, allowing him to redirect his house's financial portfolio into Kezanese real estate and industry. It was during his time on the Parini Resettlement Panel that he met and married Chloe Tassia. In 1614 AN, their first child, Aloys, was born.

In 1656 AN, with the death of his father, Aloys inherited lordship of the House of Serratus. From 1665 AN onwards, Aloys had a strained relationship with his wife and daughter, visiting only infrequently between then and the beginning of the Kalirion Fracture. Since the Fracture, he has only managed to visit once or twice a year, depending on safety.

Aloys is married with one child and heir, Argyri Serratina Petroc, with whom he has not spoken since her marriage in 1675 AN.

Career

Aloys Serratus entered the Kezan Militia in 1632 AN, immediately upon earning his Matura, staying on an extra deployment as a commissioned officer before joining the civil service. In 1640 AN, he secured a position as a junior assessor for the Honour Court of Parini's Department of Leases. Shortly after gaining this appointment, he joined the Blues, a moderately-conservative Kezanese political advocacy group. By 1659 AN, Aloys Serratus had ascended to that of senior prosecutor for the Honour Court of Parini's Department of Appeals. In 1659 AN, Aloys Lord Serratus re-registered as a Yeoman in the Kezan Militia with the rank of Captain.

During the 1660 Adelsraad election, Serratus successfully campaigned for the top of the Blue List on the Kezanese Joint List, virtually guaranteeing a seat. His time in the Adelsraad was spent co-chairing the Kezanese Joint List with Iddo Neriui of the Workers' List. Both described their working relationship as cordial and productive. At the reconvening of the Adelsraad in 1665 AN, Lord Serratus purchased a newly-constructed townhouse in Shirekeep's Second Quarter, to provide more spacious and dedicated apartments for the members of the Kezanese Joint List and their staff.

On 23.I.1670 AN, Aloys Lord Serratus was named Commissioner for International Trade as part of the second government of Steward Soraya of Octavius-Parini, and has continued to serve in this capacity during the tensure of Chrysostom Wythe.
