Axia Russus (pronounced AXE-ee-ah ROO-sus) is a Viridian noble and head of the senatorial family House Russus. Very active in senatorial politics, Russus has charted an unusual path for the family, positioning themselves both to take over rule of Izgrev, should a separation with the Dominion occur, and as close allies of the Viridian monarch Larexus III. While holding these stances simultaneously may seem contradictory to some, Russus feels a deep personal debt to Larexus due to the circumstances of their shared adventures in their youths, and therefore never takes action against the king even when her family's political ambitions would otherwise require her to do so.
