Name/Rank: Proctor Gaius Dantius Age: 37 Gender: Male Organization: Adeptas Arbites, Serving under the Inquisition, Ordo Xenos, at the behest of Inquisitor Henerius Case Appearance: [hider=Proctor Gaius][img]http://img4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130307214912/warhammer40k/images/f/f8/Arbitrator_b%26w.jpg[/img][/hider] History: Born on a Hive World to an Enforcer father and a stay-at-home mother, Gaius had a relatively decent childhood, considering where he lived. His father was away for most of his life, serving the Hive City and enforcing the Lex Imperialis. When he was six, his home was raided by a local gang with a vendetta against his father. During the raid, his mother hid him, and was subsequently killed trying to defend him. From his hiding spot, Gaius had a view of the entire grim spectacle. Eventually, the local Enforcers showed up and fought with the gang. Gaius' father was among the Enforcers, and when he saw his wife's body, he went into a fit of rage, slaughtering many of the gang members single-handedly. However, in his blind fury, he was left vulnerable, and was stabbed in the back. As Gaius' father fell to his knees, he cried out the names of his wife and son, and at that moment, Gaius realized that his father would die thinking that he too was dead. Gaius left his hiding place and ran to his father, catching him as he fell. His father's eyes, already glazed with death, widened slightly. With a smile, his father muttered, "Make The Emperor proud, son. Make [i]me[/i] proud." The Enforcers ended up winning the battle, with the gang's leaders escaping. The Enforcers took Gaius to the local branch of the Schola Progenium, and explained to the Abbots there what had happen. So began Gaius' grueling training to enter the Adeptas Arbites. His father's words echoing constantly in his mind, he soared through his training, soaking up as much knowledge as he could, and hardening his body, willingly receiving any punishment for his failures and mistakes. When he graduated into the ranks of the Adeptas Arbites as an Enforcer like his father, he poured himself into his work, raising steadily higher in rank. By the time he had become a full-fledged Arbitrator, he already had a large record of arrests and sanctioned kills. Working with an Arbites Intelligencer, he uncovered the gang that had killed his parents and burned his home. By this time, almost twenty years later, the gang had recovered from their losses and had become one of the leading underground crime powers in the Hive City. Gaius was sent in with a strike team of Arbiters to route the leaders of the gang. The strike team's Leading proctor was killed early in the long, grueling engagement, and Gaius himself took up the mantle of leader. The strike team slew the gang's leaders, and bombed their base, with minimal casualties to their own unit, thanks to Gaius' leadership. Gaius was promoted to the rank of Proctor. With his parents avenged, he decided it was time to take the recommended pilgrimage to the Hall of Judgement on Terra. It was during his study and reflection on Terra that he was contacted by Inquisitor Case, of the Ordo Xenos, and contracted as an Acolyte of the Inquisitor. Personality: Gaius, as would be expected of an Adeptes Arbites Proctor, is a man who values the laws of the imperium above all else. He has dedicated his life to upholding the Lex Imperialis, the imperial law. He is confident and collected, a result of years meting out the Emperor's Justice. Having served as Judge, Jury, and Executioner for so long has hardened Gaius into a stern, almost robotic warrior. The Arbites teams he has lead into battle have noted that he seems detached, though his record seems to have benefited from this, allowing him to make difficult choices with less emotional stress. Equipment/Wargear -Ultima Pattern Arbites Power Maul: The signature melee weapon of the Adeptas Arbites, this Mace-like weapon has two settings. The first is used to stun suspects in order to detain them. The second setting, however, charges the maul's dedicated energy field to lethal quantities, allowing it to sunder steel, flesh, and bone, among other things. -Vox Legi Pattern Arbites Combat Shotgun: A combat shotgun commonly used by the Arbites, over many worlds. It is designed for both functionality and intimidation. It's large size limits it's ammunition capacity, however. To make up for this, the weapon is designed to work with many different types of ammunition. It was also designed to be used as a bludgeon, should the need arise. Gaius' personal shotgun has engravings on the barrel in high-gothic. -5 Ignitius Shells: These shells essentially turn the shotgun into a short-burst flamethrower. -5 Gas rounds: Essentially tear gas -5 Amputator shells: Filled with explosive micro-shrapnel, these bullets are designed to shear flesh and shatter bone, causing limbs to be blown away. Not very effective on heavily armoured targets. -Ius Automatic Pistol: An unexceptional, but reliable automatic sidearm. -Adeptas Arbites Carapace Armour: The legendary fear-inspiring ebon armour of the Adeptas Arbites. -Bodyglove: Worn under the armour, black. -Storm coat: Black, with white trim. Worn over armour. -Hydraphur Pattern Suppression Shield: A large riot shield, equipped with a built-in arc-lumin for blinding enemies, and an integrated shock-plate, for an electrocuted shield-bash. -Rebreather: Attached to belt when not in use. Skills/Abilities -Leadership: As an Arbites Proctor, Gaius is experienced at leading men and women into battle, and he can keep a cool head in the thick of things. -Adeptas Arbites Combat Training: Having been trained rigorously by his superiors in the Adepta, Gaius is a formidable combatant, both at range and in melee engagements, although he prefers the latter. Other: If I think of something, I'll put it here later. Ave Imperator. Morituri te salutant.
