Traianus Tiervian

Traianus Tiervian was the first Primarch of Palaven to have no familial links to Aurelion Aurelos and his family. He served as the Duarch Classium of Palaven under Primarch Orian Aurix and, as the highest-ranking of his three duarchs, succeeded him after his death. Traianus was an extremely popular primarch, largely due to his extensive public building programs and implementation of social welfare policies. His extensive public building programs reshaped Cipritine and left numerous enduring landmarks, many of which continue to play a vital role in the administrative functioning of the city and the wider empire. The chief of these landmarks is the Forum Coloniarium, which continues to house the diplomatic envoys from the empire's myriad colonies and client races in the modern day. 
Traianus's reign truly cemented Aurelion's vision for the empire, finally proving to the empire's initially sceptical citizenry that rule by merit was superior to rule by blood. While blood lineage would always remain culturally relevant to turian society, there is now a far greater emphasis on cultivating talent and possessing a virtuous character, largely thanks to Traianus' legacy.
