The Benoist Family
The wealthiest ivierae bloodline in Mirthae, stemming all the way from Hell.
Public Agenda
In regards to the family itself, they seek to gain as much power as possible, carried out as a wish by their long gone ancestor Supreme Lord Arelius. They differ from most ivierae families from Hell as many don't have a distinct view of a nuclear family, except for when it comes to dating, the Benoists believe proudly in their bloodline that they're a superior family meant to come together and rule Hell.
History
SL Aurelius is the first Benoist ever created, and the only Benoist to become Supreme Lord. He was killed after refusing to accept defeat at the hands of SL Agramin's great grandfather, Selthoz. As his dying wish, he pleaded to his family members to seek power as much as possible. and regain the credibility they had. Being that their family experienced extreme ridicule for not condemning Aurelius, they decided to follow his wishes as much as possible.
It was only until the appearance of Caius hundreds of thousands of years later that ivierae could become Lords again. He accomplished this by teaming up with the Angalts family to conquer land from a few Lords, only stopping after Supreme Lord Selthoz agreed to remove the bad credit to their name. Some say he did it because he was embarrassed losing his wife to Caius.
Things were quite for a while, until their descendent Magnus decided to conquer more land, this time taking land from Czono Vladimir, breaking a peace treaty they had created during Caius' time. Vladimir would've considered letting it go, if it weren't for the fact that he took almost 90% of his land, much of which is still under Benoist rule to this day.
The Benoists would gain even more land through Lord Augustus, who conquered land from over 10,000 different Lords and assimilating them to ivierae culture, even making his own holy text as to how to be a "proper ivierae" that many ivierae from Hell follow to this day, though is slowly starting to fall out of fashion with younger elves.
Augustus' grandson, Cassius Benoist, was openly against his ideas, and condemned that he stole all the land he did. It's suspected that Augustus used his hypnosis to change his mind, and began training to take his place as a conqueror, but for whatever reason he rejected to complete his training to move to Mirthae where he raised his own family, where he currently does what he can to keep his family away from the Benoists from Hell.
