Flaeus Cancellarii

"*I've seen it used as a tool of destruction. This should be a nice change of pace.*"
—Flaeus to Trenov, discussing the Tiberium
**Flaeus Cancellarii** is a young Turian hailing from Palaven. A silent and reserved individual, a Soldier by practice and an engineer by trade, although he never saw active service in the military, instead just going through Boot Camp before being allowed to leave. He found work on the Citadel, as to not worry his family by working on the front lines. He joined C-Sec to go through with his community service, only to be nearly gunned down by a disgruntled individual and relegate himself to simple engineer work.

## Biography

### Early Life

Flaeus was born on Palaven to a rather archetypal family, as far as Turian culture goes, if not a little overzealous towards humanity for the Relay 314 incident; His mother was a soldier, his father being a bit more interesting as far as Turians went, despite being rather mundane in personality and temperament. He was an entrepreneur who conducted business on the Citadel distantly from Palaven. They were affectionate and encouraging but also had rather high expectations for their only child. From a young age, he had an interest in becoming a soldier, although his mother wished to dissuade him from this, regardless, given the wealth his father had been pulling in. It was when Flaeus was just a young man in Boot Camp that his father was found to be embezzling money and was imprisoned by Citadel Security.

#### Leaving Palaven

Flaeus abandoned his ambitions of joining the military, wishing to make things good by his father, and join Citadel Security to accomplish as much. While inclined to rather outlandish interests for his people, his mother did his best to keep him inclined to community service, to prevent him from making a fatal mistake in something dangerously ambitious, as his father did. He decided to kill two birds with one stone and not only be able to be close to his father, but also fulfill his community service.

### Adulthood

Flaeus continued to work for the Citadel Security Service, even after his father was released from imprisonment and went back to Palaven, content with his lot and life and not wishing to reflect badly on his son and wife once more. Flaeus became gradually more tolerant of humans as he had to interact with many on any given day, working under one. He maintained a close relationship with his parents, despite harboring no plans to return to Palaven any time soon.

#### Quitting the Citadel Security Service

Eventually, Flaeus found himself in a nightmare of a situation in way of security. He was nearly gunned down by another member of Citadel Security after ratting them out when it came to be his knowledge that they were abusing their position and conducting it in a corrupt manner, being bribed to let certain people go. Said officer pulled a gun on him and only missed after being shot by another officer non-lethally. With the barrel of a pistol only mere inches from his face, during that incident, he froze up and quit later in the same day, struggling to rationalize just why. His parents supported this decision after hearing the news, and he ended up becoming an Engineer.

## Personality

Flaeus, unlike most Turians, is not someone who takes too much thrill in combat. He is reserved and often interpreted as cowardly for a somewhat non-confrontational demeanor. He has pride in his people and their accomplishments, despite these traits, however. Prior to finding himself in the Primis universe, he harbored spite for humanity as the result of the First Contact War, or the Relay 314 Incident, but quickly realized that it was going to get him nowhere, and he simply opted to bury his convictions and get over them, to avoid awkward and unfortunate situations. He struggles to talk to others at times, often coming off as socially inept due to the fact that he lacks a filter behind his words and can often be found spouting whatever it is he believes, though this isn't to say he's incapable of dishonesty, such as his general aversion to bringing up the fact that both he and his family were bitter towards most of the humans they happen to meet, only compounded by the fact that he was nearly gunned down by one while working in C-Sec.

Flaeus is relatively intelligent, being capable of strategy, possessing technical knowledge as a result of his work as an engineer, and being capable of long-term planning, although he often instead opts to rely on improvisation. He is less of a combatant than most, but still knows his way around weaponry. He is apprehensive in the heat of combat, often panicking at the first sign of failure, and easily being demoralized.
