Cania Torquatus

"'It does not matter what he does now.  He ruined countless lives, all for his own reasons.  Once a pirate, always a pirate.' ' - Cania talking about Nihlus Kryik"Cania Torquatus is a Council Spectre from Altakiril, in the Terminus Systems. She witnessed the murder of her parents by former pirate Nihlus Kryik. She was taken as a slave by the pirate lord, Aeson Kryik.

She managed to escape from Vatar in 2156, and was found by a turian patrol ship. The soldier attending her was a young Antraxes Partinax. She was given medical care, and returned to her family on Altakiril. She was pregnant when she was found, and gave birth to a daughter, whom at the behest of her family, she gave up for adoption.

A few years after he was given a Council Spectre position, Antraxes mentored Cania.

When he came of age, Cania married Markus Partinax, the son of the late Valerio Partinax. The marriage was an arranged one, the Partinaxes using the move to keep their House from dying out.

After Antraxes' coup, she pursued Desolas and Nihlus to Intai'sei. In the ensuing fight, she was paralyzed from the neck down. She recieved cybernetics so that she could move again, but she was rendered unable to fight again.

She was killed in single combat by Sairus Arterius.
