Alias: Founder and Chairman of the Reim Historical Society
Gender: Male
Personality: Illius is a brilliant old man that has dedicated decades of his life to uncovering the secrets behind the world's lost history. He has an insatiable appetite for knowledge of the ancient world and this motivation drives him. Unfortunately, in his old age he is no longer able to shoulder the bodily burdens required of those who venture out to long forgotten ruins to conduct excavations. This has left him bitter and even somewhat jealous towards others, but he dulls the blade of his sharp tongue by staying regularly inebriated.
As a drunk, the man is much more amicable but altogether shrewd at the same time. Even with the mist haze of spirits, Pollux is always on the look out for new archeologists and will go to cunning lengths to enlist others into his search for the long forgotten past of the planet.

Appearance: An elderly man usually found dressed in cloaks and robes during his daily routines. His hair is combed back and styled into place save for a couple bangs as stubborn as the man himself which fall forward in rebellion. His body is large and shows the scars of a man familiar with danger, but has long since withered and is no longer capable of what it surely once was.
Rukh Alignment: White
Special Traits: N/A
History:
Illius began his archaeological career based on a question he held ever since childhood.
"What was the world like in ancient times?"
A love for history books spurred his imagination which fermented into curiosity and passion later in life. He learned the swords to defend himself and made a brief start as a mercenary protecting trade caravans before saving enough money for his first expedition. Pollux spent a full week searching tirelessly until all his supplies had run out. Still, the young man combed through the ruins of an old Reim outpost left over from the very first days of the empire. His diligence led to a discovery of an old hidden room which contained a small cache of gold, weapons, and intelligence documents from the time.
Illius returned to Remano with his bounty and never looked back. After many years of continuous adventures looking for signs of a distant past, Illius eventually founded the Historical Society from like minded individuals. When it was time for him to retire from the field, he continued pursuing his passion there as it's chairman. Now he spends his days guiding the younger generation and supporting the society with the fortune he has amassed while simultaneously using them to gather more ancient knowledge.
