- "Victory...at any cost."
- — Tarquin's last words
First Lieutenant Tarquin Victus was a marine in the Marine Corps of Palaven, and the son of Adrien and Ritquin Victus. Born on Palaven, Tarquin joined the marines when he was 15, hoping to live up to the reputation of his father. He was still serving in the marines when his father led the Hierarchy's counteroffensive during the War on Taetrus, and he was envious of his father's accolades and accomplishments. Because of this, his military career was doomed from the start, and by the time of the Reaper War, Tarquin was only a First Lieutenant, despite his twelve years of service. Tarquin was put in command of the 9th platoon during Operation Talon's Progeny. In trying to use clever tactics to avoid a direct engagement with Reaper forces, he ended up getting his ship destroyed and half his men killed before they had reached the objective. He redeemed himself however, sacrificing his life to stop Cerberus detonating a fusion bomb left over by the turians on Tuchanka.
