"The strategist in me admires their brutality. The turian in me knows I'm watching the destruction of fifteen thousand years of civilization. My civilization."

— Adrien Victus

Primarch Adrien Victus was the primarch of the Turian Hierarchy from 2186 CE to 2214 CE. Born on Taetrus, Victus served in the military for the majority of his life; a total of thirty-three years. He rose through the ranks, eventually becoming an ArchGeneral, and during that period he earned the respect and admiration of those he commanded. He was a brilliant and inspired tactician, although his tactics were considered unorthodox by the military high command. During the War on Taetrus, he gave up Fort Rotantius to a force of salarian terrorists, who were then forced to battle the turian separatists. When the salarians were wiped out, and the separatists exhausted, Victus moved back in, taking back the fort without a single casualty. Victus married Ritquin Adrianus at some point, and they had a son. During the Reaper War, Victus was put in command of the Menae Line during the Siege of Menae, but was later forced to give up command to Tertibus Corinthus when he became the new primarch following the death of Barcus Fedorian, and attended the 2186 War Summit. He would go on to become the turian representative in the UGC following the Tuchankan Raids, and would be present at the Battle of London, where clever tactics helped save the entire UGC right flank from collapse during the battle.

He continued on as primarch following the war, and led the Hierarchy into war again in the Post-Apocalyptic War. He was finally cornered during the Fall of Palaven at the Primarch's Talon canyon just outside Cipritine, where he and his battalion of marines and guardsmen made a famous last stand against an overwhelming Dominion force. Through one last brilliant tactical maneuver, Victus used the metals encasing the canyon walls to cut off the pursuing Dominion force from their communications, and deprive them of vital air support. His men then led the Dominion troops further into the canyon, where they made a final last stand in the canyon's interior. Dominion forces suffered heavy casualties and were forced to withdraw outside, where they successfully managed to procure reinforcements, which attacked from the other end of the canyon. Victus and his men were eventually killed, but not before the Dominion had lost over 2-3,000 troops in the attempt.
