Denton Patreus

Dentron Patreus is a Powerplay character in the fictional Elite Dangerous galaxy. In the player created continuity his interests are represented by the Frontier Development’s recognised Powerplay Group, Patreus Planning.

Personality
A cold-hearted businessman at his core, Denton Patreus has no issues exploiting the financial misfortunes of others to increase his own wealth and power. That said, he is also a loyal Imperial soldier committed to furthering the Empire at the expense of the Alliance and Federation.

Life and Career
Born in 3253, Patreus would grow into a man who would build his power base and wealth via a number of shell companies that would issue loans to governments on favourable terms that were then reversed. This left many of them unable to repay their debt due to the soaring interest rates allowing Patreus to seize their assets. On occasion governments would resist the effective corporate takeover of their state. However, Patreus had invested heavily in his private military force and all fell before him.

After managing to leverage his assets to secure a Senate seat he became a stalwart of the state, seeking to expand Imperial influence throughout the galaxy at the expense of the Alliance and the Federation. His star truly rose though after the assassination of Emperor Hengist Duval in 3301 through his relentless pursuit of those responsible; Emperor’s Dawn. This terrorist group’s eradication earned him the position of Admiral of the Fleet and much acclaim from Imperial society.

Current Role and Position
Denton Patreus currently represents Eotienses in the Imperial Senate as Senator, commands his own private military force and is Admiral of Fleet. A successful businessman and popular Senator, some speculate he sees himself as a future Emperor for suggesting the position should be selected via an expression of public support. However, he did not object to Arissa Lavigny-Duval’s coronation.
