Peace Marshal Spartus Venamus was once Sergeant Spartus Orso, and a highly decorated NCO in the Army of the Republic. He still bears the silver handled pistols granted him by General Rhyzard Arhyn-Elysenium, as well as the Virten Star around his throat, the Republic's highest award for bravery. With the end of the War and the rebuilding of CZ Central, the occupying Dominions needed someone to run the multi-district constabulary. As no nation would agree on the other's candidates, a local Eluetherian was required. Spartus Orso's name was put forward as a compromise candidate of impeccable reputation and limited political clout - so acceptable to the locals, and easily controlled by the occupiers.
Since becoming Peace Marshal and Chief Constable, Spartus has reversed those two qualities. His marriage into the Venamus family has given him a (barely) noble title, and he has become a powerful man in his own right. The Venamus title has also moved him into the Endrus sphere, and he now enjoys political cover from the Lord General Du Blessed. As Peace Marshal, he has replaced his reputation as a fearless war hero with one for cruelty and brutal violence. He has earned the particular enmity of the Arhyna family, amidst rumors that he assaulted one of their daughters, although no charge was ever leveled against him.
Spartus Venamus is not a stupid man, but his is unfailingly direct and to the point, with a strong undercurrent of ruthlessness in all he does. Although aware of political niceties, he takes a crude enjoyment both from flouting them, and from demonstrating his power to do so without repercussion. He is feared by both the population and his own men alike, and is not averse to personally taking a hand in matters that catch his interest.
