The Vist Family is one of the oldest standing families in the Graal Military Community, having possessed roots in the Royal Guard and Imperia, two predecessors of the modern military community. It is also one of the few families to predate and second the Line of Auel in prestige, having been the first ruling family of Imperia, and a former ruling family of the State. However, it was not until early State that the Vist name was transitioned into a family, and members were introduced into it.

Auel Vist's Reign

Under Auel Vist's reign, the Vist Family gained many members, all of which were prominent militants and allies of his, the first one being Pierce Bowen, State General and cousin of Auel Vist. Bruce, also known as Roanoke Han, would later befriend him and be granted permission to wear the name. Throughout the rest of his reign, Auel Vist would induct Auel Logan, Savus, Leon Fessler, and Xeno (Not to be confused with Xenophone) into the Vist Family.

In 2016, Auel Vist would play a pivotal role in formulating the Kingdom system, eventually choosing the Vist name to represent his house instead of Auel. Minor houses such as House Vaiken under Tyrell would flock under House Vist, which would serve as their overlord house. At the time, the symbol of House Vist was depicted as that of a tree with a variety of branches, hence the motto "One Tree, Many Branches". However, unbeknownst to Auel Vist, he would lose the High King elections to Auel Vulnus, and so he fell into inactivity, which would by proxy lead to the demise of House Vist, and the Kingdom when Vulnus abdicated the throne to him.

Upon Auel Vist's retirement, Auel Logan would inherit all of his assets, and be granted total ownership of the Vist Family, along with the Line of Auel and his guilds.

Auel Logan's Reign

It was under Auel Logan's reign that a new generation of Vists would be established, and the Vist Family would see new faces, among them James Kazakov in 2020, a long-time State loyalist.

When JJ Arçanüm was promoted to General of the Unified State upon Auel Kusan's retirement, a 2021 incarnation of the State by Auel Logan, he requested the Vist name in order to gain authority. It was around this time that the Vist Family would be assigned the ruling family of the State, but only lasted the duration of this specific iteration.

In 2022, Auel Logan ennobled the Vist Family in the Auro-State Empire, and upon his appointment as Major General, Spyros Çønsïlïm was inducted into the family. However, Vist did not remain a noble family due to the riddance of nobility.
