Caherix Partinax

With Uchalda destroyed and Calaea disowned by her family, Caherix and Calaea went to Palaven after the Primarch had offered a home to all the survivors of Uchalda. There they tried to build a life together. Calaea gave birth to Caherix’s daughter, whom she named Amara Partinax. The pair raised their daughter together. 
Caherix over time began to show signs of struggle, unable to truly process what had happened to his homeworld and family. As he grew increasingly mentally unstable, he was eventually discharged from the military on medical grounds - a fact which enraged him. He was a difficult person to get along with during this time; he was excessively irritable and often exploded into sudden bouts of rage and bitterness, having difficulty coping with any kind of stress. He also suffered from insomnia and night terrors. The only thing he seemed to have energy for was the desire for vengeance against the krogan. He could not see any other future than war. While he loved his wife and daughter deeply, he couldn’t be the husband and father they needed him to be in his current mental state. 
Caherix was later approached by the Blackwatch for a secret project. He was initially sceptical at why they would want a medically discharged nobody but when they asked if he wanted to chance to make the krogan pay for Uchalda, he accepted on the spot. Caherix was given Blackwatch training and then assigned to Project Aequitor, a top secret government project which aimed to sterilise the krogan with the aid of a salarian invented bioweapon - the genophage. 
After assassinating key warlords, only Caherix and Sergeants Tavus and Haut remained alive, along with their salarian STG scientist. Caherix was the highest ranking member left alive. When the salarian tried to stop him from deploying the virus, Caherix ordered Sergeant Tavus to restrain him. Tavus questioned the morality of their orders, telling him that what they were doing was genocide. Enraged, Caherix ordered Sergeant Haut to restrain them both, then slammed the button down to deploy the virus.
Caherix’s involvement with the project was kept a secret for his protection, though he was granted an audience with the Primarch of Palaven who awarded him with a sword for his service. The sword, taken from the trophy hoard of the krogan warlord, was of Uchaldan origin. Caherix named this blade Vindicatum ("instrument of vengeance") and had it modified to represent his family. This sword became the ancestral sword of House Partinax over the following centuries. It was later wielded during the Reaper War by Valerio Partinax. Following his death, it was lost for some time but was later recovered on Taetrus and returned to Valerio’s son, Mehraxes.
