Character
Vérité Crassus
Blade of the Crassus family
Black hair, armor, and a sword she draws over the quality of the wine. She assaulted a senator at his own reception and considers the matter closed—she barely touched him, and the wine was so bad that anyone drinking it must have meant to kill someone.
The Telus banished her from their island for it, which she experiences as an injustice done to her, and she spends her exile on the Crassus Peninsula telling Flavius Marcus that he is useless and that the family needs an executioner rather than a thinker.
She is not wrong about herself. She is one of the few people on the Ark who can be relied upon to attack something immediately.
