Quote
“ | The universal scholar would be hard pressed to find a worse collection of self-involved, sadistic tyrants than those of House Amaris. Not only did they damn themselves by their collective hatred of Humanity, but by their actions, they damned us as well.
--passage from Black Eagles Stained with Blood: A History of the Amaris Family, by Gordon Ballantre, Decameron Press, Lackhove, 2955[1] |

History
Origins
The founding member of House Amaris was Terens Amaris, a Terran Hegemony intelligence operative investigating an attempt on the life of the Director-General Jacob Cameron of the Terran Hegemony. Terens and her husband, David Chi Wong, subsequently emigrated to the Rim Worlds Republic to continue the investigation, where she befriended and is believed to have had a love affair with First Consul of the Republic Heather Durant. In 2463, the heirless First Consul transferred power to Terens and her descendants.[2]
Amaris Family Tree
Other Known Members of the Family
- Fiona Amaris, commander of the Rim Royal Army by 2652[3]
- Sibeliy Amaris, third cousin of Stefan Amaris and commander of the First Liberation Army by 2766.[4]
- Gregor Siever, cousin of Selanta Amaris and younger brother of Carl Siever who attempted to seize power after Selanta's death.[5][6]
Notes
- Though there is a generation-long gap in the lineage, Richard Thurston-Moray, also known as Stefan Amaris VII, was a descendant of the real Stefan Amaris through his mistress Shera Moray.[7]
- Star Captain Dawn was cashiered and expelled from Clan Steel Viper on grounds of a botched attack against Cumbres, because she could not prove her barely believable story that an unknown third party (Stefan Amaris VII's forces) had unexpectedly attacked her raiding party. Threatened with execution should she enter Clan space again, Dawn became a member of Duncan's Demons. It was she who caught and killed him aboard his DropShip. Dawn returned to Clan space with the head, presenting it as proof that she had indeed killed the last Amaris. The fact that she was later reinstated as a Clan warrior and even went on to achieve a bloodname implies that the frozen head did indeed prove her claims to be true, presumably through genetic testing. This implicitly means Thurston-Moray/Stefan Amaris VII was indeed a direct descendant of Stefan Amaris.
