'''House Amaris''', the successor to the [[House Rowe|Rowe]]/[[House Durant|Durant]] family, was the dynastic ruling house of the [[Rim Worlds Republic]]. Lords of House Amaris (or related families) ruled the Rim Worlds Republic between [[2463]] and [[2575]], then again from [[2596]] to [[2779]].

==Quote==
{{quote|The universal scholar would be hard pressed to find a worse collection of self-involved, sadistic tyrants than those of House Amaris. Not only did they damn themselves by their collective hatred of Humanity, but by their actions, they damned us as well.
--passage from ''Black Eagles Stained with Blood: A History of the Amaris Family'', by [[Gordon Ballantre]], [[Decameron Press]], [[Lackhove]], [[2955]]<ref name=Psb52>''The Periphery'', p. 52</ref>}}

==History==
===Origins===
The founding member of House Amaris was [[Terens Amaris]], a [[Terran Hegemony]] intelligence operative investigating an attempt on the life of the [[Director-General]] [[Jacob Cameron]] of the [[Terran Hegemony]]. Terens and her husband, [[David Wong]], subsequently emigrated to the Rim Worlds Republic to continue the investigation, where she befriended and is believed to have had a love affair with [[First Consul of the Republic]] [[Heather Durant]]. In [[2463]], the heirless First Consul transferred power to Terens and her descendants.<ref name=TPp21>''The Periphery'', p. 21</ref>

The [[Star League]] considered the Rim Worlds Republic as a hereditary possession of House Amaris from [[2488]].<ref name=HDTFSp36>''House Davion (The Federated Suns)'', p. 36</ref><ref name=TPp23>''The Periphery'', p. 23</ref>

===Legacy===
In the aftermath of the [[Amaris Civil War]], [[Aleksandr Kerensky]] oversaw the death of [[Stefan Amaris]] and his family, but hundreds if not thousands bore some Amaris blood.<ref name=H:LoTV2p113>''Historical: Liberation of Terra Volume 2'', p. 113</ref> Kerensky's troops slaughtered everyone in the Rim Worlds with the name Amaris, though overlooked maternal cousins with surnames such as [[House Wong (Rim Worlds Republic)|Wong]], [[House Siever|Siever]], [[House Marcus|Marcus]], and [[House Chan|Chan]]. With the danger of being even distantly related to the Amaris family, they fled the Republic.<ref name=HDTFSp56>''House Davion (The Federated Suns)'', p. 56</ref>

===Other Known Members of the Family===
* [[Fiona Amaris]], commander of the [[Rim Royal Army]] by [[2651]]<ref name=TPp53>''The Periphery'', p. 53</ref>
* [[Sibeliy Amaris]], third cousin of Stefan Amaris and commander of the [[Rim Worlds Army#First Liberation Army|First Liberation Army]] by [[2766]]<ref name=HLT1p55>''Historical: Liberation of Terra Volume 1'', p. 55</ref>
* [[Gregor Siever]], cousin of Selanta Amaris and younger brother of Carl Siever who attempted to seize power after Selanta's death in [[2687]]<ref name=H:HSp31>''Handbook: House Steiner'', p. 31</ref><ref name=TPp50>''The Periphery'', p. 50</ref>
* [[Franchetta Wong]], distant cousin of Gregory Amaris<ref name=H:RWp131>''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 131: "Barcelona (April–September 2591)"</ref>

==Notes==
* Though there is a generations-long gap in the lineage, [[Richard Thurston-Moray]], also known as '''Stefan Amaris VII''', was a descendant of the real Stefan Amaris through his mistress Shera Moray.<ref name=JC>''Jihad Conspiracies: Interstellar Players 2'', p. 16</ref>

* [[Star Captain]] [[Dawn Moffat|Dawn]] was cashiered and expelled from [[Clan Steel Viper]] on grounds of a botched attack against [[Cumbres]], because she could not prove her barely believable story that an unknown third party (Stefan Amaris VII's forces) had unexpectedly attacked her raiding party. Threatened with execution should she enter Clan space again, Dawn became a member of [[Duncan's Demons]]. It was she who caught and killed him aboard his [[DropShip]]. Dawn returned to Clan space with the head, presenting it as proof that she had indeed killed the last Amaris. The fact that she was later reinstated as a Clan warrior and even went on to achieve a [[bloodname]] implies that the frozen head did indeed prove her claims to be true, presumably through genetic testing. This implicitly means Thurston-Moray/Stefan Amaris VII was indeed a direct descendant of Stefan Amaris.
