House Vorpadaran
Structure
1) Count Gavril Vorpadaran (titular head of House. Fealty sworn to Emperor Gregor Vortapani directly and seconded to High Lord Count Theux Vorpaddox until 12724, thereafter to High Lord Count Aral Vorkosigan.)
2) Countess Elena Vorpadaran (spouse/partner of titular head of house, usually non-inheriting but possessing specific responsibilities and authorities in support of the head of House. Fealty sworn to Emperor Gregor Vortapani directly and seconded to High Lord Count Theux Vorpaddox until 12724, thereafter to High Lord Count Aral Vorkosigan.)
3) Lord Alexander Vorpadaran was officially designated Count's Heir at the time of the Telona 12725 missile attack upon the Tapani Imperial Officer Academy. All students, instructors, staff, and visitors were killed during the capital ship barrage at Galactic Star Empire ruler Palpatine's command, under the direction of Admiral Alexander Kane.
Lord Peter Vorpadaran currently serves as officially designated Count's Heir. He often serves as Count's Voice either in regional administration or in the Council of Counts while the titular head is occupied elsewhere. He is not entirely comfortable stepping into his older brother's position, and may someday ask permission to abdicate in favor of a non-political career. Fealty sworn to Emperor Gregor Vortapani directly through their Count and seconded to High Lord Count Aral Vorkosigan.
4) Lord Danar Vorpadaran, youngest sibling authorized to serve as Count's Voice at need, is the most notable remaining name among other members of Vor House, related or married in or adopted. All in this group swear fealty to Emperor Gregor Vortapani directly through their Count
5) senior Armsmen, especially those who have been Armsmen of this particular House for 20+ standard years, swearing fealty to a specific member of the House who in turn swears fealty in an unbroken chain up to Emperor Gregor Vortapani
