Praetor Aquila Protus Marcus



Current assignment: Praetor of Legio XLVII, Director of Inner Sector Communications.

Previous assignment: Legate of Legio XLVII.

While a capable enough soldier and frontline officer, Praetor Protus didn’t earn his first command on the battlefield. Protus had served as an adjutant for several months under the late Legate Varus leading up to a planetary uprising just prior to the Synth Rebellion. After an explosion in the Imperial Command Headquarters left all senior officers dead or otherwise incapacitated, Protus was field promoted and put in charge of the legion's remaining forces. Cut off from reinforcements and with so few officers remaining, ending the rebellion seemed impossible. Protus recognized there was no way to defeat the rebel forces in direct combat. Instead, Protus directed his forces to stealing resources and cutting off supply routes so that the rebel forces would eventually starve. Within two months, the rebels had surrendered and Imperial control over the planet was reestablished.

25 years later, Praetor Protus is now over 45 years old. He is an excellent administrator, leader, and speaker, who uses his skills to outwit and outmaneuver enemies of the Empire. As a member of the Convocation, Praetor Protus wishes only to serve the Empire.

After leading the Legio XLVII as its Legate for 25 years, Protus stepped down from the legion's top combat position in order to take up the mantle of the legion's Praetor.
