Tarquin Victus

Lieutenant Victus is a turian in command of the 9th Platoon and the son of General Adrien Victus.

After his recovery, now Primarch Adrien Victus asks Shepard for assistance with a missing platoon on Tuchanka. Victus can't go into detail about the mission, but tells Shepard that it is important and classified.

Should Shepard decide to help, while fighting to the Platoon's crashed ship, Shepard can learn that it was Lieutenant Victus' fault that they are in their current predicament. Upon reaching the Platoon, Shepard can confront Victus, who accepts responsibility for his actions. He wanted to try and sneak around the enemy, but when they got ambushed, there was no room to maneuver and were shot down. He then tells Shepard why they are here; to prevent Cerberus from detonating a bomb that was left by the turians after the end of the Krogan Rebellions. It was intended to be a last resort weapon in case the krogan rose up again.

Should Shepard decide to assist in deactivating the bomb, and after fighting to the bomb's control station, Victus asks Shepard and the squad to cover him while he disarms it. However, after attempting to disarm it, Victus discovers that he can't do it in time. So he climbs up the bomb to remove the detonators manually. After he manages to successfully remove them, the bomb suffers a malfunction, which throws Victus off and he falls to his death.

Once back aboard the Normandy, Shepard can tell his father how he died and can affect the tone of the conversation depend on how the Commander replies.
