Gaius Victus

Gaius Victus Abrudinus is the youngest child of Primarch Fidellion Victus by his second wife, Marcia Abrudas. He was named in honour of his maternal grandfather, Gaius Abrudas, who was a victim of The Night of Martyrs. He has three siblings and one half-brother; Keirix, Adriana, Irixia and Sairus. Like his three full-blood siblings, Gaius is a porphyrogenitus, meaning he was born after his father was anointed as Primarch of Palaven. Gaius was born prematurely and has cerebral palsy, a developmental disability which impedes his motor functions, speech, and ability to process external stimuli. As such, he cannot serve in the turian military to earn his citizenship - a fact which greatly distresses him.
Metellus, the High Priest of Palaven, attempted to mentor Gaius, teaching the boy that martial strength was not the only means by which to measure a person's character and encouraging him to focus on what he could do rather that what he could not. Gaius struggled to accept his lessons as he was still unable to accept himself for who he was. Despite this, he still very much enjoys Metellus' company and spends a lot of time with him, having come to view him as something akin to a grandfather.

==== Colour genetics ====
Gaius was named for his maternal grandfather, Gaius Abrudas, with whom he shares a similar plate colouration. However, while his grandfather and his mother, Marcia Abrudas, possessed the hallmark silver plates of the Abrudas bloodline, passed down through the millennia from his ancestor, Markus Abrudas, Gaius' are more matt and, in certain lights, appear to exhibit a very subtle light brown sheen - a unique trait that was likely influenced by the DNA of his father, Fidellion Victus. He inherited his skin colour from his mother, who in turn had inherited it from Markus; Gaius' older sister, Adriana, possesses this same skin colour as him. Like Keirix and Adriana, the eldest of his full-blood siblings, Gaius inherited his blue eyes from both his parents, his eyes being lighter than her father's but darker than her mother's. His father had inherited his blue eyes from his paternal grandmother, Saira Caesonia, while his mother had inherited hers from Markus.
