Damien Arterius

"And I hope this isn’t too presumptuous of me, but— congratulations to you both on your upcoming bonding, and on your daughter."
=== Appearance ===
Damien closely resembles his late father, with his distinctive facial and body structure, pale blue-grey plates, and white markings. However, his voice is less gravelly and lighter than his sire's.
=== Early Life ===
Damien was born to his mother out of bonding. His father, Saren Arterius, was in the midst of his metoric assent to being the youngest turian spectre around the time Damien's existence was revealed. To prevent political fallout, Saren's father and head of the clan Casimir Arterius refused to force Saren to recognize his son. Instead, Casimir quietly registered Damien in the official clan bloodline, but did nothing to present him or acknowledge his existence. It is presumed that Damien's mother received significant "hush" money from the Arterius clan to prevent the societal embarrassment and backlash her outspokenness would have caused. 
Damien, like his father, was an extremely talented turian, showing aptitude for public service at an early age. Shortly after he completed his mandatory years in the military, he went into public service in Athanasia.
=== Pre-War Politics ===
Starting around 2182, Aelianus Vakarian took the young Damien (operating under his mother's clan name) under his wing. Aelianus had long found the Arterius clan's handling of Damien distasteful, and wished to nurture the potential he saw in the young man. With Aelianus' son Garrus being utterly uninterested in politics, Damian was also someone who would be able to use his wisdom and experience.
Just a year later, the Hierarchy genealogical registry had to officially recognize Damien as the successor to his father's line with the death of Saren. With this change, he began operating under the Arterius clan name.
By 2186 Damien was promoted to become the Athanasian senator, shortly before the start of the Reaper War.
=== Shepard and Vi ===
In the aftermath of the attempted assassination of Aelianus, Damien was named interim Primarch of Palaven while the older Vakarian recovered from his massive injuries. Captain Shepard and Garrus Vakarian, along with their daughter Viatrix had traveled to Palaven when news of the "accident" reached them. When Damien came across Shepard, he made a point to introduce himself- though he seemed to instantly grasp that his close resemblement to Saren was distressing to her. Shepard, not willing to cower before unfair feelings due to association, made a point of introducing him to Vi, much to Damian's delight.
Damien and his bondmate Annet sent Viatrix a stuffed hannar for her first birthday, having become another set of beloved Aunts and Uncles to the young turian.
