Anastasia Arkelius

Anastasia Arkelius is Lord Admiral of the Orpheus Salient and part of the Triumverate after the death of General Mikal Curas to Hive Fleet Dagon.

History
Like her brother, General Derian Arkelius, Lord Admiral Arkelius is member of Noble House Arkelius on Scintilla. She is also an excellent tactician, albeit in naval engagements, but she commands the respect of her crew and the Captains of her fleet. Those that serve her understand that while their souls may belong to the God-Emperor, their lives belong to her.

Before General Curas was killed, he placed her in command of Battlegroup Cerberus. This fleet of over fifty ships ranged in size from her flagship, the Battleship Emperor's Nobility, to the nimble Sword-class Frigates.

When Lord Commissar Vance Theren created the Triumvirate, Lord Admiral Arkelius was the first of the two siblings he approached, as she represented a skill set in which he was sorely lacking. She is constantly mentioning this to her brother, General Arkelius, in hopes that she can provoke him into doing something rash that will eliminate him from being chosen as General Curas' successor.

Her attitude towards the Deathwatch is that of a cautious respect. She does not trust their ulterior motives, nor does she appreciate it when one of her ships is commandeered for a near-suicidal mission.
