Lead role. Arius is a powerful politician within Glachel's theocracy--and was supposed to be Kove's foster father. He's reconnecting with her years later to enact a plan years in the making, both to push back against the Church's strange new policies and to fix old mistakes that are coming back to him with a vengeance. 

Late 30's / early 40's. Has a no-nonsense, confident tone with a "high-class" British accent. He's not particularly emotive. 

Arius is transgender. Trans / nonbinary VA's are preferred and will be prioritized in selection, but cisgender people are free to audition! He passes as male, so a voice that's read as masc is needed (though my definition of "masc" is pretty loose).
