Aetrius Caltaneus

Dossier
As a turian veteran of 37 years in the military, Caltaneus was chosen to lead RIFT as Grand Inquisitor in 2186. He is exceptionally stoic and level-headed. When seeking out potential candidates for RIFT, Caltaneus does not care about the species, nor the history of the candidate; but whether or not they can get the job done.

As Grand Inquisitor and Commanding Officer of the CSV Caesetia, Caltaneus essentially runs RIFT, with the occasional direction from the Council. He is in charge of all personnel and facilities aboard the CSV Caesetia, and disobeying his orders could potentially result in someone being forcibly removed from the ship.

History
During the reaper war, he commanded the turian second fleet. After the failure of the crucible, and the destruction of most allied forces, Caltaneus ordered the remainder of his flotilla to retreat. Unfortunately, several reaper capital ships were able to pursue them into the Attican Traverse where they were cornered along the border of dark space. The reapers methodically annihilated the flotilla, and with it, the Generals flagship dreadnought; the Decimius. Reaper forces stormed the wreckage and picked out survivors, including Caltaneus himself, where they were stowed aboard reaper transports and taken to a nearby Artificer for processing.

Before Caltaneus could be transformed into a maurader like the majority of the captured turians, he was rescued by the RIFT fireteam during their first priority mission, and brought back to the Caesetia to deliver the true mission brief for Operation: Event Horizon.
