Peleps Angas is a male Earth-aspected Senator of the House Peleps Deliberative caucus, known for his talent with the Erhu and Sitar. Angas is a devout Immaculate, but unlike many such members of his House he favours the compassion of Sextes Jylis over the self-sufficiency of Danaa’d. He has long been a voice of support for the monks of the Immaculate Order when they protest corrupt officials or provide succour for the downtrodden, and has called for increased coordination between the Order and the Honorable and Humble Caretakers of the Common Folk to deliver such programs.

Angas’ elevation to the Deliberative occurred when he served as a bureaucrat in the Thousand Scales, overseeing the output of the Realm’s Jade mines. Concerned that the use of mistreated slaves and peasant labour in the mines was both counter to Immaculate teachings and causing unnecessary issues with quality and excess wastage, Angas lobbied his superiors to take action, and then when they showed no interest dared to pen a personal missive on the matter to the Scarlet Empress herself. Though the Empress did not intervene to impose changes, she did elevate Angas to the Senate where he might continue to provide such advice (an act which certainly saved his life, for Scales ministers cannot allow such circumventing of their hierarchies to go without an appropriately assassinatory response). The well-being of miners continues to be an agenda of Senator Angas, and though he has not backed truly Abolitionist legislation he has worked with Senator Cynis Tenezar on bills relating to proper care for slaves.

Angas is particularly dismissive of the supposed ‘Deathlord’ threat, terming it no different from a hundred other minor threats from Threshold warlords and rogue spirits, which ‘should not contine to distract the Deliberative from its work against the true threats to Creation’.
