Septimus Oraka

Septimus is a retired turian general who is in love with Sha'ira, the Asari Consort. Wrex recognises him; Septimus fought during the Krogan Rebellions.

Commander Shepard is sent looking for Septimus at Sha'ira's request. He had been coming to see the Consort for years and they were very close, but Septimus wanted Sha'ira to be "more than I could be", and they had a falling-out. Septimus was so angry with the Consort that he started spreading lies about her, and is now spending too much time in Chora's Den trying to drown his sorrows. Sha'ira asks Shepard to speak to Septimus as one soldier to another, and remind him of his honour.

When the commander finds the turian, Septimus claims that Sha'ira was the only woman who helped him forget the horrors of his past and she has effectively deserted him. Shepard can use Charm or Intimidate on him, telling him to straighten up and behave like a general. Eventually Septimus realises how he has been behaving, and vows to go to Sha'ira... after a couple of cold showers. He asks Shepard to do him one favour - in his anger at Sha'ira, he found out a compromising secret about an elcor diplomat named Xeltan, and accused the Consort of revealing it to damage her reputation. He gives Shepard the details of how he found out, which will exonerate Sha'ira, and asks the commander to give it to Xaltan to make it right.

Sha'ira later tells Shepard that Septimus sent her a lovely note as an apology, and they've become friends again.
