[color=white][b]HOMEWORLD - Arterium[/b][/color]
Few Arbites ever serve on their homeworld, with those that do being immensely privileged. Harstein Thrace is one such person, but not simply because of lucky, but because of station. As one of the few Sons of the Planetary Governor he was allowed to pick which field he wished to join much like his older brothers had been. Aside from the PDF or the Guard, or even one of the more Administrative positions he could have picked, he chose the Arbites. 

Because he knew that is was something he could do to benefit his home, to help his people, and to show them that he and his family cared about them enough to fight for their safety at home. Many citizens extol the virtues of the Guard, yet forget the people who secure the peace at home and he would not be one of them. He would become one of his Divine Emperor's Enforcers of Law. He would uphold the word of law, under the gaze of the Emperor, and protect all citizens from those that would debase it. He would become the Law, and Judge those who dare think themselves above the Emperor's Judgement. 


[color=white][b]PERSONALITY[/b][/color]
Harstein is an immensely devoted man, being the third son of the Governor he was guaranteed nothing in succession aside from wealth and safety. He needed for nothing, and nothing could be asked of him by others, and that sat ill with him. He watched as a young boy as the men and women of the Arbites fought the crime that had begun infesting the Hive City of his home. He saw the depravities of Babellum rising to the top, like sewage polluting the waters of a lake and it sickened him. 

He watched as day by day, more and more of his home descended to anarchy and violence. How could we, as the Emperor's own people, allow this sort of injustice and disobedience to his Golden Eminence stand. It was then that Harstein promised to be hard, and uncompromising as the law dictated, as his Emperor would have done so himself. He would become the Hammer and Anvil upon which the Sinner and the Traitor would break, for what else could one be in defiance to the Sacred Law? As his Holiness Commands, Burn the Mutant, Kill the Alien, and Punish the Traitor. True Happiness stems from Duty, and there could be no greater Duty than Service to the Emperor's Imperium.

[color=white][b]BACKGROUND[/b][/color]

Harstein is the third son of the Planetary Governor of Arterium, with his older brothers serving their roles in the service of the Star System his family held stewardship over. He was slated for no defining role within the System that he could not find himself, and as his family has always believed, a Man can be worth nothing until he proves he is worth something. Each Son is required to serve the Imperium in some manner, be it Administratively or Militaristically, they must contribute to their chosen role.

His Eldest brother will become lord of Arterium and Master of the sector, and Harstein has no issue with that. His brother is talented and dedicated, and shall make an excellent heir for their father. Harstein however has always felt a strong sense of duty, even as a child. He watched the men and women in uniform, those Lawkeepers of the Imperium go about their hard duty with a sense of longing. He to wished to serve, to be a beacon of hope for another small child much like himself. To inspire and encourage one to service, and to one day prove to both his Father and his Great Emperor that he had not chosen poorly when the Thrace Family was put in charge of this world all those many centuries ago. 

Harstein enjoys few vices, but he does enjoy drinks with those he would call friends as well as the sight of the Moonlight reflecting off the Sanguinalla flowers on the night of the full moon. The radiance they give in the sunlight is breathtaking yes, but the serenity of the Moonlight on the red petals drowns him in fields of silvery blood. He sometimes thinks he can see it, the great battle where the heroes of the Sanguine Hands fought to the last against the forces of the Great Traitor. He can hear the roar of battle, the sound of gunfire and even smell the fresh blood spilled in the name of the Emperor. The dreamy illusion shatters quickly enough though and he is filled with a sense of Duty Renewed each time.

[color=white][b]MISCELLANEOUS[/b][/color]
Harstein is a simple man, and tends to be blunt. He will be straight forward with you and you can be assured that he does not lie, it is a trait he picked up from his position. He finds Lying, and those that do so to him, worth less than the air they just wasted. He does not give trust back to those who have broken his, and he will never trust a liar. He will forgive mistakes, but never an outright lie. He finds betrayal to be the most heinous of sins, but understands that there are some that do not do so purposely and he does differentiate. However he will not allow ignorance to pardon a crime, and will execute the law to the fullest based on the situation. He will simply not hate you for it as he would for those who do it despite knowing better. 

He is single, and has not been slated by the Orders Famulous for a marriage yet. He has an immense respect and admiration for Sisters of Battle and Astartes, in particular any son of The Angel. He finds those men and women to be the height of service and duty, with their stalwart justice and faith being a shining example of what humanity can achieve with a sense of Duty and purity of purpose.
