MinorThere's something coldly superior about this scarred warrior whose arrogance seems to be his armor as much as his pulse shield. His presence radiates the unshakeable confidence of the elite.
Gaius Cartus appears in the second installment of the Red Rising series as a Peerless Scarred Gold Legate whose unyielding pride becomes his fatal flaw.
