——参议员Denton Patreus

Denton Patreus是帝国舰队的总司令与参议员，家乡星系是Eotienses。因其政治掮客手腕而恶名昭彰。

背景

会见Denton Patreus

在政治评论员Marcus Macmillan讲述3301年重大活动者和影响者的文章中，参议员Denton Patreus成为他的最新主题。

参议员Patreus经常被视为帝国议会中较为果敢武断的一方。他是权力较大的参议员之一（虽然落后于Lavigny-Duval和Zamina Torval参议员等重量级人物），并受追随者所推崇。这在一定程度上是由于他通过侵略性的经济和军事征服来降低低税收。

尽管有人指责参议员的强硬手段是不道德的行为，但也有人指出，若帝国出现负债，那么一切就只能怪他们了。他的精明政策使他积累了深厚的资金储备和强大的舰队，为他提供超出他地位所该拥有的力量。

从Eotienses发迹，他是一位迷人且富魅力的领袖，偏好从他雄伟的庄严级拦截舰‘Imperial Freedom’号发号施令。在皇帝卧病期间，他呼吁帝国皇位借由声望传续，而非血脉。自从皇帝康复以来，他一直坚定支持著Hengist Duval，但许多人好奇如此企图脱离传统的行为是否会限制他在广大群众中的声望。

[伦敦条约]于3302年解除。这解除了联邦和帝国能同时拥有的旗舰数量。The Club操纵Denton Patreus来扩张庄严级拦截舰的规模。因此引发了与联邦的军备竞赛。为此，联邦为舰队制造了更多艘法拉格战列巡洋舰。

个性

Denton Patreus竭力争取自身利益，同时以宏大的情感掩饰自己的意图。

就像地球历史上的罗马帝国那般，由参议员决定支持者的税率，Patreus和Torval在国内大受欢迎，因为他们各自利用自身巨额财富将税率降至零。

人际关系

Denton Patreus与社交名流——帝国公主Aisling Duval在公众场合多次露面，谣传两人有著恋爱关系。3301年3月20日，他们在Faece一起被发现。两人在Faece的时尚商场手拉手购物了三个小时。大批随从伴随著他们，并有护卫确保两人安全。之后，两人经由Patreus的飞船离开，并享用了简单的晚餐。

3301年3月12日当周，Patreus参议员和Aisling公主被发现出没于Capitol星球上的多处夜晚景点。然而两人拒绝确认交往的身分。

‘Patreus参议员和Aisling公主再次被发现于Capitol的高档餐厅Fodder共进晚餐。这对帝国知名情侣看起来相谈甚欢，在3小时的用餐期间小酌了好几瓶Chateau De Aegaeon美酒。’ 3301年4月13日

‘Denton Patreus与Aisling Duval被发现出席昨晚在Capitol举行的‘对抗痴呆症的晚宴’。这对帝国情侣花了数小时和参议院们、总裁和慈善幸运抽奖的赞助人打交道，然后在舞池里展现了煞羡旁人的舞姿。’ 3301年4月22日

在Arissa Lavigny-Duval加冕之前，这对佳人本可以发挥优势，获得大部分议院成员的支持，成为帝国王位的强大竞争者。这对帝国情侣原先能推动Patreus成为帝国的主导者。

Today we have delivered a decisive blow to our enemies, shattering their forces and leaving them scattered and defenceless. For all their bluster, these dissidents have been shown themselves to be nothing more than petty brigands, lacking in unity and moral conviction, and unable to withstand the might of our combined military forces. Their bases have been destroyed, their fleets routed. Emperor's Dawn is no longer a threat.
