Tepet Tilis Chotei is an elder Senator of the Deliberative, and Chair of House Tepet's caucus within that august body. He entered the Senate after a long and accomplished military career, including leading the attack that breached the city walls in the Siege of High Spiral, culminating in appointment to the post of 9th Legion strategoi. His tenure there was brief, as the Scarlet Empress recalled him soon after to 'provide the Greater Chamber with a general's wisdom and a leader's resolve', with Tepet Mallon replacing him as strategoi.

In voting, Chotei has a long record of conservative positions, supporting primacy of the Dragonblooded over mortals and opposing increased spending on the Thousand Scales, with the exception of the Imperial Legions. Though he does not rule his caucus with an iron fist, as caucus chair Chotei attempts to keep a firm hand upon the tiller.

Chotei is son of Tepet Tilis. His brother, Tepet Mallon, was strategoi of the 9th Legion when he fell during the War with the Bull in the Battle of the redwoods.

Chotei's last wife was Ledaal Ora, who had been spouse to one of his mortal subordinates. A mortal herself, she perished at the age of ninety-six, having borne him three children: Exalted sons Tepet Choro & Tepet Shogo, and mortal daughter Tepet Yumei. Choro fell in RY763 during the War with the Bull, while Shogo remains in unofficial exile in the Northern Threshold due to what his father consider to be dangerously seditious views.
