Fabien Victus Marninus was the son and only child of Kestrien Victus and his wife, Kalla Marnek. He married Matidia Verrikan, a fellow soldier whom he had fallen in love with while serving a tour of duty in the Attican Frontier. The pair had three children together - Primarch Adrien Victus, Legatus Fabia Victus and Primarch Valexien Victus. 
Unusually for the progeny of the Familiae Martiales, Fabien and Matidia were a love match and chose to mate for life. Fabien faced much backlash from his social peers for marrying a barefaced Palavenian woman; the elite of Bostran society had long been highly insular and typically only married within the confines of their social stratum. While Matidia had been born into an aristocratic family of great renown and military decoration - she was descended from a long line of prestigious Palavenian admirals, including the famous Primarch Vorinus Verrikan - she was ultimately still an outsider and thus shunned. Despite her initial social pariah status, Bostra's elite eventually grew to accept her, swayed by both her combat prowess and her fierce loyalty to her husband's homeworld. 
From the age of 16, Fabien had dedicated his life to military service, as was the expectation of the firstborn children of his family. By the time he had turned 50, he had risen through the ranks of the Bostran Colonial Army to become a distinguished general and, in time, the favoured frontrunner for the Bostran Primacy. However, before he could realise this potential future, he was killed in action during the Reaper War alongside his wife; the pair fought and died together in an effort to protect Bostra's reigning primatial family from Reaper shock troops. 
Combat recordings later recovered from their omni-tools revealed the manner of their deaths; outgunned and completely surrounded, the pair had made the fateful decision to bait the Reaper creatures into a trap and activate all of their remaining grenades at once to take their enemy out with them. The last moments of the recordings revealed a tender moment between two life partners: "Dia, I just wanted to say...the life we built together, the battles we fought, the children we raised... I don't regret a second of it." 
"Neither do I. If this is how we are to end, then I am glad to make my last stand beside you, the man I love." 
"I love you, Dia..." 
"I love you too, Fabi... Farewell, my love." Fabien and Matidia's sacrifice proved to be worthwhile, as it allowed Bostra's primarch and his family to escape off-world. As such, the pair were posthumously awarded the Stella Vastitatis, the highest military honour that may be awarded by the Primarch of Bostra, which was received by Adrien on their behalf. 
In life, Fabien held the title of Parriarch of House Victus, having inherited it from his paternal grandmother, Valexia Victus. Upon his death, the title passed to his eldest child and praesumptivus heredus ("heir presumptive"), Adrien.
