—Historian Jaxus Farallus

Marcio Volesus Gaius Sertorius Peccatrix Whitehound, better known as Marcio Peccatrix, was a Ryccian aristocrat & military official in the Ryccian Empire shortly before the Democratic Revolution. Coming from a noble family from the core worlds, Peccatrix lived an affluent & lavish lifestyle with numerous connections which gained him the prestigious position of Grand Admiral. His tactical accumen would however come to fruition when he fled from the Democratic Revolution with an exodus of imperial aristocrats to found the Remnant. Peccatrix would become a founding father of this new remnant, re-organising the military, establish a governing council, carving out the stronghold of the remnant and found its new societal doctrine.

Peccatrix is remembered fondly by the Remnant for his numerous achievements in service to it. Nonetheless, he was a ruthless conqueror known for the brutal mutilation of his subjects and an zealous human supremacist.

Early life

Born to the affluent Peccatrix family on X, Peccatrix grew up in a lavish environment of excessive luxury & pleasure that had grown stereotypical of the core world in the Ryccian Empire at the time. He was known from his early age to have a keen interest in military affairs & racing, attending military colleges in addition to winning racing championships.

Peccatrix was ensured the best of education on his homeworld, learning to rule in the ways of the Old Empire. He was noted to have been peculiarly ruthless in ideological classes which was only further amplified by household.

While pursuing his military career in his later teen years, Peccatrix became notably more dominant & intimidating with the people close to him. Always claiming the top of the social hierarchy, Peccatrix made sure no one would challenge his rule. It was during this period in his life that Peccatrix forged many relationships that would help him climb the ranks in both social & military circles.

Peccatrix was also remarked to have been a womaniser, forming and breaking many relations with girls of his age. So much so that he was often caught having multiple relationships at the same time. This pursuit of romantic entanglements wouldn't be limited to just his own species however which brought him to clash with conservative elements of the aristocracy.

Military career

Having learned a lot of the imperial military in his later teen years, Peccatrix became a prodigy student at the Imperial Naval Academy. He would always be the leader in group works and tirelessly push his subordinates to achieve his own ambitions. This gained the attention Admiral Demetrius Bellax who would become his mentor.

Once graduated from the Imperial Naval Academy, peccatrix was commissioned to serve under Admiral Bellax where he rapidly rose through the ranks by using his close connection with Admiral Bellax.

Legacy

Peccatrix is regarded as a hero within the Remnant. His dedication to forge a new Ryccian Empire in what he perceuved as lawless space was unmatched by fellow officials that fled. Having a lasting legacy in both the military as well as the political bodies of the Remnant.

His name is used to instill nationalistic zeal in the Remnant's citizenry and terror into its subjects.

Peccatrix Doctrine

Peccatrix formulated a new central doctrine for the remnant to ensure its survival given the new realities of their exodus. Given the limited resources of their new found territory, Peccatrix argued that every resource should be optimally used. Every mineral, energy source or slave should be squeezed until nothing else remained to serve the human aristocracy. To that end, Peccatrix was a fierce human supremacists who vouched for all the humans of the exodus to be considered nobility and form a large cast of subservient slaves to constitute his economic model through continuous territorial expansion.

Peccatrix's naval doctrine would also diverge from the centralisation of resources in enormous super dreadnoughts. While these large flagships had been successful in bringing terror into subjects, Peccatrix believed this no longer to work for the Remnant. Instead, he believed that by using the resources to make one enormous super dreadnought into ten dreadnoughts, the Remnant would still achieve its goal of terror, but also gain much more flexibility to expand on multiple fronts necessitated to create a lasting stronghold for the Remnant. As such, modern Remnant naval doctrine still preferes the use of its Victrix-class dreadnoughts.
