Bartus Aurix

Bartus Aurix is the general of the Palavenian Auxiliary Legions and parriarch of House Aurix. He is a descendant of Aurelion Aurelos through the illegitimate Aurix bloodline, in particular the line of Aurelion's illegitimate son, Orian Aurix. In edition to overseeing the legions he also presides over the turian military's cross-species training programs. Admiral David Anderson of the Human Systems Alliance was one such pupil of his. He is considered to be a strategic genius though is often mocked for the fact he commands only the auxiliaries, as opposed to a proper turian legion.

Bartus answered directly to the Duarch Exerticus of Palaven, Achaeus Corinthus, and was next in line to succeed him. During the reign of Primarch Fidellion Victus, Bartus succeeds Achaeus upon his death, becoming Duarch Exerticus of Palaven. He and Fidellion have a productive working relationship and strong personal respect for one another.
