The Bucellarius are typically part of the richest, and most powerful of the Atlantean nobles, the patriarchs of these families served in the King's court as his best retainers, and most loyal men, they however were not commanders, and served under the King's Dominates in battle. Because the Bucellarius have access to the strongest armaments available to the Atlanteans, they are can take as many hits as they can dish out with their lances, allowing them to smash into enemy soldiers like waves on the beach. By the time of Arkantos, Bucellarius had mostly ceased to be exist as a specific entity, Atlantis grown stagnant and it's power became near exclusively naval, however under King Kastor, their order was restored under him.
