Imperial Family of Pallix Arterius

Upon the death of Aurelion Aurelos and his subsequent ascension to the rank of Primarch, Pallix Arterius and his immediate family became the new Imperial Family of Palaven. Unlike the imperial families of the Pre-Aurelian Era, whose members possessed the rank of Heredus/a and wore purple by virtue of their blood, Aurelion's new laws decreed that each imperial family would be a single entity, disconnected from the previous one, and would bear no official titles (save for those who held the rank of either Primarch or Conjux Dominus/a). Upon the death of the previous leader, their family would no longer be recognised as members of the imperial household and thus lose the right to wear purple. Not only did this trim down the number of people within the family but it also reinforced the ideology that the honour of wearing purple was something that must not be taken for granted, as such privileges do not last forever. 
Thus, by design, Pallix's family displaced Aurelion's upon his ascension. Despite being of Aurelion's sacred bloodline, they were no longer considered to be members of the imperial household and automatically stripped of the right to wear purple, albeit they were still closely connected to Pallix's family through their many marriages and blood ties. The only members of Aurelion's family who retained their right to wear purple were his daughter Rea Aurix, who had married Pallix and was thus allowed to keep wearing purple as his wife, and Quintus Arterius, Aurelion's adopted grandson, whom Pallix granted special dispensation to continue wearing purple as his fatherless nephew.
Upon Pallix's own death, the family of his successor, Orian Aurix, were elevated to imperial status, displacing the surviving members of Pallix's family. Rea, however, continued to wear purple under Orian's new rule, a right granted to her by her position as Orian's sister. She is the only member of the Imperial Family in turian history to have held the right to wear purple four times - first as the daughter of Aurelion, second as the wife of Pallix, and third as the sister of Orian. As such, she was often colloquially named Domina Porphyrima, which translates as the "Most Purple Lady".
