**Gaius** was one of the Ordo Calamitas warriors, an organization located in Rome that aimed to destroy the Paranormal.

Gaius first appeared in the 5th episode of Calamity, waking up in his room due to the shouting of the other warriors of Ordo Calamitas, and going to the great table of the meeting room of the Order. During the events of the 5th episode of Calamity, while Team Vultures explored The Colosseum, he was incorporated by Carina Leone.

During the 5th episode of Calamity, Gaius, after escaping the Ooze wave that was chasing him and the other Ordo Calamitas warriors, was chosen by the Relic of Energy, thus, becoming The Host.

## Appearance

Gaius was an old man, with short hair and a beard, both gray. He wore armor with some purple cloths, a scarf, a hood, a cape and a cloth on his chest engraved by the Ordo Calamitas' symbol.

While Team Vultures was reliving the memories of the warriors of Ordo Calamitas, Gaius had a purple aura surrounding him, and his eyes shone in the same color.

After becoming The Host, he acquires a mask that acts like his face, with a gray coloring, a large open smile, tight eyes and with hands merged to it.

## Personality

Gaius was a visibly tired man, appearing to be cheerful but very bothered by his age, often complaining about his old age and boasting about the youth of his teammates. Gaius was quite confident, on account of being aware of his strength and his power.

When chosen by the Relic of Energy, Gaius has his mind taken by the chaos generated by several voices inside his head, each with different thoughts and hysterical personalities, becoming a noisy, hyperactive and flashy man, who constantly speaks screaming, walks inconsequentially and "plays" with his victims tormenting them with their riddles and puzzles while mocking them.

## Biography

### Past

Little is known about Gaius' past, besides the fact that he was confronted by the Sect of the Masks after becoming extremely powerful, being related by Carina Leone that he wielded a mask from the group in the past, and having joined Ordo Calamitas at some point in his life for unknown reasons. Gaius, in a deal to become part of the Sect and to protect the Balance, asked for the occultist group to cure her daughter of a terminal disease, saving her life.

### Calamity

The next day of obtaining and containing the third Relic, Gaius, as well as some of the other members of Ordo Calamitas, wakes up with a question in the back of their mind after having a dream that they couldn’t remember right. After everyone wakes up, a brief meeting with the Emperor Nero begins, and in the middle of the meeting that question is answered; inside the Ordo Calamitas Ruins, when touching one of the statues of the ruins, Carina Leone is transported to the past, taking over Gaius' body.

Moments after remembering, the meeting is interrupted by an invasion of a Black Ooze seeping through the walls along a huge silhouette in the middle of this ooze, forming tentacles that were killing everything they touch. Everyone begins to flee through the corridors of the base, until they reach the room where the newly acquired Relic was contained, the Relic of Energy, which for some unknown reason to the warriors, repels the tentacles, preventing them from entering the place.

The Relic’s call echoes in the minds of all those present, organizing them in a circle around them and choosing its new vessel, the object heads towards Gaius' face, rearranging and deforming the molecules of his existence, corrupting his mind with various hysterical personalities, transforming his body into an intangible mass, and in place of his face leaving only a mask in constant transformation, giving rise to the gaudy figure of Amphitruo, the first ruler of The Colosseum and that responsible for entertaining the Roman people and emperors by means of stormy plays of real consequences. With the loss of Gaius, Carina wakes up again in her true body, retaining the man’s memories in her mind.

## Trivia

* For being chosen by the Relic of Energy in his appearance, Gaius' abilities are unknown, but it is known that he had a skill that didn't have his name revealed that allowed him to nullify a skill used against him.
