House Partinax

House Partinax is one of the Familiae Martiales, the Aurelian Empire's military elite. A relatively young house by turian standards, they claim descent from House Mehrkuri via an illegitimate line. House Partinax, once heralded as heroes, is now universally vilified for the actions of its previous parriarch, Valerio Partinax, and his brother, Antraxes Partinax, who usurped the Aurelian Throne and exiled the legitimate Primarch of Palaven, Desolas Arterius II. The house is currently headed by Mehraxes Partinax, Valerio's son, who is its last surviving member.
House Partinax is a unique anomaly within the Familiae Martiales as it is the only great house that is ethnically Uchaldan. Uchalda was rendered utterly uninhabitable by the krogan during the Krogan Rebellions, who slammed a guided asteroid into its surface. As such, House Partinax is extremely xenophobic whenever the krogan are concerned, with many of their members becoming Blackwatch agents or Council Spectres to exert this inborn hatred onto the krogan they were tasked with monitoring. Rumour has it that the house's founder, Caherix Partinax, was personally conscripted by the then incumbent Primarch of Palaven to take an active role in the deployment of the Genophage, knowing that the young man's pain of losing his homeworld and family would override any doubts he might have had about the empire's use of a sterility virus.
