Lucas Vindebinos
Lucas Vindebinos (Born 20 August 1927 ) is the head of the House of Vindebinos and the current Duke of Samos. He is the second son of Michael, the Duke of Samos that died in the Social War and inherited the title after his brother, Albert, passed away from a heartattack in 1973. He studied at Hart Academy near Thessalona in his early years and spent 20 years working with Albert Clios, founder of Clios Aerospace and Robert Thenis, founder of Thenis Motor Corporation. His cooperation with both Clios and Thenis resulted in him and his family owning 20% stakes in both firms and the creation of the Vinde, a model of SUVs made by Thenis Motor. In cooperation with Venis resulted in his founding of Samos Green, a research body dedicated toward fossil fuel alternatives which is responsible for the construction of almost three-quarters of green energy production in Samos.
Lucas was badly wounded in the 1993 Orestes Terror Attack, in which terrorists believed to be supported by socialist sources set off bombs at a conference being attended by members of the nations elite and attacked survivors with machine-guns. The attack left Lucas scarred with an indentation on his left cheek and his left leg having been amputated below the knee. The attack also killed his five year old grandson Nikos.
Justin Vindebinos
Justin Vindebinos (Born 14 March 1962) is the firstborn son and heir to Lucas and the Duchy of Samos. He lived much of his younger life at Tikkis Lamnos until he joined the Federation Navy as a Naval Aviator, serving aboard the F.N.S Philippos as a pilot of a Cassini search and rescue helicopter. He gained the opportunity to apply to Space Technologies Aeronautical Research (STAR), the national space agency, in 2002 and after completing his training went on to pilot two expeditions to Unity Station in 2007 and 2010. In 2012 he failed a medical examination prior to the launch of the Gateway Three mission, resulting in him being grounded. This spurred his decision to retire from STAR on 19 August 2013
A year after departing from the Space Agency Justin was successful in being elected to the national senate as Samos' second seat on 1 September 2014. In his seat he campaigned actively for the refurbishment of the STAR test center on Samos and on 18 January 2021, following months of talk with the Sovereign Prince he became the first person to sit at the Praetorship for the Space Program.
He is the father of Nikos, Robert, and Sabina. His firstborn, Nikos, died aged 5 in the 1993 Orestes Terror Attack that also maimed Justins father.
