Septimus Severus Gaiaus Quintus

Septimus Severus Gaiaus Quintus is an ex-Confederate citizen who defected to the Consortium. He is a devout Consortium loyalist. He was born to Mainer parents on Kamijing and served in Confederate militia prior to his defection. Upon his defection, he changes his name from his birth name to his current name.
He truly believes that he is the reincarnation of the ancient Roman Senator of the same name and pays tribute to Terran Humanism. 
He becomes a major player in the Solar War as a public sympathetic face of the Consortium war effort. During the war, he is appointed a military commander of CONPOL due to his intimate familiarity with the Main Belt. His official title becomes Lord Marshal of the Terran Consortium, wielding ultimate command authority over all Consortium troops not directly stationed on Earth. 
His greatest military achievement was the Blockade and Siege of Mars, which succeeded in forcing a general retreat of Protectorate forces back to Ganymede and the Rim. With civil war breaking out on Earth, he returns and is invested with power to command on Earth. With his newfound power, he and Marcus Cato Scaevola form a diarchy in concert with the World Congress that provides stability and leadership to the remains of the Consortium on Earth. 
Follwing Scaevola’s death in SY 182, he founds Nova Roma and leads it as a truly benevolent dictator until it's dissolution and unification with the nascent Anthroperium in SY 196.
