Errune Thesius
Unlike the Royal family and the numerous noble houses of Thanasis that hold much of the prestige and power of the City of Dragons, the Thesius family is notable in that while they no longer have the influence or distinction they once had, they are still heralded as one of the earliest families known to have settled in Malakath, crucial to the initial settlement of the region before the great city of Thanasis shielded them all in exchange for their devotion to the winged beasts they worshipped.
In today's Thanasis, the Thesius family holds no real power. They are, however, greatly respected for their history and often consulted by the other families and houses as advisors, and the public sees them as an important historical symbol. Those born with the last name are expected to uphold the values, traditions, and leadership set by their forbearers.
Their continued presence is more cosmetic than anything else, but it's an anchor of tradition and a piece of history that all of Thanasis look to with reverence.
Errune, or Rune as he is called by family and friends, serves in the quiet halls of the Royal Palace Archives. A station willfully chosen to keep him away from the public and close to the source of Malakath's greatest collective of knowledge.
Appearance
Tall and lean, Rune no longer cuts the broad and imposing stature he once did. Though still fit and trim, he lacks the abundance of brawn he used to carry on his frame during his time serving in the military. His hair is a bright platinum blond and worn long, now, when it once had been kept quite short. His eyes a pale and piercing shade of green. Rune is presentable and clean shaven at all times, taking pride in his appearance as he seems to have so little left to take pride in. He can always be found dressed as though expecting to spend time within the Court, though he seldom ever does anymore.
Skills and Abilities
Once a powerful and highly respected warrior, a lifetime spent honing and training his body as well as mastering several bladed weapons has amounted to Rune's mightiest weapon yet: the quill pen. Having a sharp intelligence had always been his second greatest skill of note, Rune now spends his days in the Royal Archives. He's become a fount of wisdom on a seemingly endless supply of subjects, and knows the archive stacks and halls better than most.
Having always held a deep fascination for the beasts of Thanasis, he finds solace in cataloging the annals of the city, as well as the bloodlines of the many dragons that roam its skies. Rune is considered one of the foremost experts on this subject and often sought out for more information regarding the dragons of old and legend.

Personality
Once upon a time Rune was a common face at court, on the battle fields, and in the skies. Though never quite the center of attention, Rune rarely struggled to find a crowd to fit into.
Now? Were it not for his particular knowledge and skillset in the archives, he may have been all but forgotten for as little as he shows his face in society. Rune has become reclusive, preferring the company of his support hound to that of other people. He's generally even-tempered and polite, never a man to raise his voice or put a foot out of line in public. Appearances and impressions sit high in his priorities, and so he means not to make waves where they are not warranted.
