Helarionas strides in to the Magnaura, a grim look upon his face, Demetrios right behind him. "Fellow Senators, I have word as to who has killed our most dear and beloved Lord Armatos." Helarionas snaps his hands and several of his aids bring forth a body wrapped in a white cloak, covered in slash marks and bloodied beyond imagining. "I am sorry for the mess, but this coward refused to speak the truth, even after his attack - no, assassination attempt, upon me, and some persuasion was needed. I admit, I was rather brutal to him...but I am not a man to tolerate such people."

Helarionas strolled over to the dead body. "I am sure you will recognize what I am about to show you, and I am sure it may come as a shock. Long ago, two men conspired to kill both the Caesar and the Patriarch, and nearly succeeded. Had it not be for Basileus Aleksios, all would have been lost. Thanks to our great Emperor's thinking, he was able to extract the information he needed to find all the other members of this group, and they were purged from the Imperium, their leaders killed or exiled. However-"

Helarionas pulls the blood-soaked cloak off of the body, and holds it out between his hands. A large, black raven emblem is seen on the back. "-as you can see they have returned, and seem to have some support among the Islamic assassins. This does not bode well, for it seems they are back for vengeance. I believe anyone still alive from that time is a possible target, and we may soon suffer even more deaths..."

Helarionas throws the cloak back onto the body, and turns to leave. "I have important business to attend to, and I am sorry I cannot stay. If you have any questions, please ask Demetrios."
