Bio Atrus Haitius
Atrus Ignatius Haitius
Atrus was born on Ixion (scene of the infamous `Crowning Day Massacre <Crowning_Day_Massacre.html>`_) in 928 AE to Marta Kolak and Siegroy Bellarus Haitius, Heads of clan Haitius.
A grizzled veteran of [[The Solesian conflict], he rose in the ranks from a simple deck-officer aboard the then `Antarean Federated Navy <Antarean_Federated_Navy.html>`_ aboard the battleship
Secundus Reclamatus
to Squadron Commander by the end of the conflict. Within the navy he was and still is regarded as a master of long-range harassment and even published a book, Know Thy Enemy: A Treatise on Logistical Disruption , which is still widely consulted some sixty years later.
After the war, Atrus returned to his capital at Ixion and married his long-term partner Mehra. Together they had a son, `Reus Haitius <Reus.html>`_, and a daughter named `Amma Hatius <Amma.html>`_, both of whom were keen followers in their father's martial tradition.
