was the firstborn\u00a0son of the Tacitus family. He was a disappointment to his family when he stayed in the Army instead of leaving to become a politician.<\/span><\/p>\nHis reason for staying had to do with his friendship with Maximus Decimus Meridius, who he later betrayed by following Commodus\u2019 orders and accepting the position as General of Pretorian Guard \u2013 bringing honor to his family name.<\/span><\/p>\nWhen he was ordered to have Maximus executed, he sent his worst men, hoping his friend could escape. He was thrilled, shocked, and horrified when he saw Maximus at the Colosseum fighting as a gladiator.<\/span><\/p>\nHe kept to himself and waited for the moment he could redeem his personal honor. As Commodus fought with Maximus on the arena floor, Quintus kept his men from giving the Emperor a weapon, letting Maximus finish the job.<\/span><\/p>\nAs they carried Maximus\u2019 body out of the Colosseum, guilt ate at him for all the things he had done. He silently vowed to make it right.<\/span><\/p>\nIt was then he discovered Maximus had been Turned and was a Vampire. Odysseus later sat down with Maximus and Quintus, telling them about the world of Vampires. They also promised to come back in one year and a day to take matters in their own hands if the two Mates didn\u2019t figure things out for themselves. A year and a day later Odysseus Turned Quintus at both men\u2019s request. They took the newly Mated pair back to the Council where Imenand had to do some quick explaining, and then set them up as Hunters.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Vampire Council: Hunter Quintis was the firstborn\u00a0son of the Tacitus family.
