Dewi Mehnot
Centuria Dewi Mehnot
Dewi is the second eldest child of Rheis and Marlene Mehnot. Plagued with childhood illness, even as a mature adult Dewi is socially awkward and introverted, alongside having tremors and a stutter. His successes despite these afflictions and temperament have gained him a sympathetic reputation among the Heno.
Where he lacks in health and stamina, he makes up for in analytics and attention to detail. He is a specialist at Far Sight lithomancy, particularly adept at synergizing his movements and senses with his more physically capable wife, Aenor Galeoda, who is the Sencatua of Marlene's team. He is also one of the main tacticians of team efforts and advises his Marlene and Youna on their individual battles.
Dewi isn't fully aware of the extent of his health conditions. He also showed signs of Silicon Sickness early in life, and Marlene desperately tried to find alternative methods to suppress or stop it from triggering. Thus, some of his later health issues might be due to the various treatments he was put on, some of which were experimental or quackery.
Many would consider Dewi to be his parents' favourite child, as Rheis and Marlene are fairly strict but seem to go a bit easier on him than his siblings. In fact, when Dewi desired to marry the Aenor Gaeloda, Marlene helped him fake the results of a fecundity test so their marriage could be declared legal. Though even with the Heno and Cynipina's complicated sex determination and marriage laws, they would have likely turned a blind eye to Dewi and Aenor's marriage due to the reputation of the Mehnots.

Relationships
History
Aenor met Dewi while studying and working in Caer Isca, and developed affection on the soft-spoken and intelligent nobleman. This was during the time that Aenor was coming to terms with the freedoms being infecund and genderfluid offered outside of their rigid upbringing. and so she presented herself in different ways in hopes Dewi would notice one of them. Dewi however, only noticed that they kept changing they outfits and uniform in a way that seemed impractical.
Dewi was able to relate deeply to Aenor's struggles with medical trauma and gender issues. They began a very close friendship and worked together in competitions. Eventually this relationship turned romantic and Aenor was introduced to the Mehnot family, where they gifted Marlene armor that through specific pressure points, would lessen the symptoms of Silicon Sickness in combat.
Ultimately Marlene jumped through hoops to ensure that Dewi and Aenor could be legally married, as in Heno law, fecund citizens have more rigid marriage laws applied to them (which is similar in Kubeleya culture). Marlene made sure Dewi's fertility test came back negative so their marriage could go through. This speaks to Marlene's sense that Aenor and Dewi complimented each other in a fulfilling way, as she is not the type to do such things without cause.
