Hospius begins as a minor but memorable Governance official in The Will of the Many, distinguished by his crisp uniform and serious demeanor. His name later becomes a valuable cover identity, indicating his position carries enough weight to be useful in deception. Across the series, his role evolves from a background functionary to an unwitting pawn in larger political machinations.

Description

Hospius is a tall man in his late twenties with broad shoulders and dark skin. His head is close-shaven, and he wears a black beard trimmed short. His eyes are serious and dark brown. He is always seen in an immaculate Governance uniform beneath a fine blue cloak, the dark blue pyramid insignia sewn crisply over his heart. Every fold and seam of his clothing is perfectly pressed and unfaded.
