## Early Life

Gaius Augustus Furius was born on January 24th 3172 to Legate Gaius Aurelius Furius and Virginia Furius-Wullf as their fourth child and third son. He was born much smaller than any of his siblings and was a very thin child for all his childhood. Gaius was raised in the family manor with his older sister Maria Furius as they were very close in age and most of the rest of the family was enlisted in the Legions.

When he was just five years old, his father Aurelius and, older brother Gaius Asinius Furius died over Cabina in what would become to be known as the Defenestration of the Talon. Shortly there after his other older Brother would be executed by synths and his mother Virginia would die of grief shortly after his sixth birthday.

Over the course of the next seven years Gaius' family would dwindle from more than 60 living members to just himself when his grandfather Gaius Appius Furius and sister Maria would be the last members of the family to die, leaving him orphaned and in the care of Centurion Dux Jorj Abito for the rest of his early life. Jorj was a friend of Aurelius and immediately offered to take care of Gaius Augustus after hearing the news of the death of his remaining family.

## Education and Stats

While at the academy he would make two good friends in Pyxis Rayya Kymay and Emma Jekyill after he saved the latter from bullies who dropped her off in the White Trine. The two girls were Rangers in training and after their days in the academy together would not see Gaius again for ten years.

At the end of his four year training he would graduate as a Decanus of the CXI on the AQN Dauntless Venture a Starship under the command of his Foster Father and family friend Jorj Abito.

## After the Academy and the Cygnus War

Gaius' misfortune would continue when the companies left to him after his Grandfather's death would declare bankruptcy because the board of directors in charge of his firms would steal his money seeing that Gaius Augustus was a young man inexperienced in business formulated a plan over his four years of academy training. The freemen directors took out a great deal of credits on the the good credit of the companies and when they had sucked them dry they made like bandits and fled the system. They were never found.

This forced Gaius Augustus to sell all of his families assets to start paying off his newly found Debt. After selling his families manor in the White Trine and all the possessions he had ever owned, he still owed a balance of over three million credits. The deal he settled with House Eridanus was that he would pay a large portion of his salary for service in the legions in order to keep him out of trouble with the Eridani loan sharks.

Gaius would serve in the Legions as it was now his only source of income preferring never to take shore leave as he had nothing to return to on land. He would serve in what remained of the Cygnus Conflict Helping to make a name for the Dauntless Venture as a ship with a reliable and smart crew. In fact his skills in investigation were noticed by House Crux and were put to use after some refinement by seasoned Crux investigators to find several Synth dens toward the tail end of the war

## After the Cygnus War

Gaius Augustus would be on the hunt for Pirates after the assassination of the Cygnus Emperox in 3198 and the ending of the War that had defined his life. The war that had robbed him of his family his wealth an land didn't earn him promotion for his exploits, however his search for Pirates would do him much more than the War ever did.

Over two years he would find and expunge seven pirate bases, with the last raid being aided by and old friend Captain Emma Jekyill and the Pyxis Rangers under her command. Gaius would earn the rank of Centurion on March 19th 3200 due to his rescue of another Legionnaires life after the Dauntless Venture had been recalled to Diomikato for the mounting ACRE threat. For his Promotion he was given Command of the AQN Silver Sword by Legate Dux Kassius Aelius.
