AEQUUS e domo Guernici, Quaesitor ex Ordo

84 years out of apprenticeship, 107 years old, follower of Guernicus. Aequus is a Quaesitor for the Stongehenge Tribunal and much respected, though not much liked. He spends much of his time in the covenant on research but has travelled to Magvillus (including a recent trip) and around the tribunal on business. He is extremely traditional in his views and allows little leeway in interpretation of the Code, occasionally being criticised as too critical and rigid. While he helped to found Flamma Aeterna, he has always retained a certain isolation from the other magi, though he is quite fond of Placidus, and they often work together.

Aequus' short term goals are to maintain and increase stability within the Tribunal and the Order, and on a personal level to gain status as an Arch Mage. Status is extremely important to him, and the continuing situation of Julius as Head Quaesitor of Brittania is an irritant. In recent years, he has stepped up surveillance on other covenants, and increased his contacts within the house. As a result of one of his contacts, a young quaesitor, Agrippina, has recently been sent to aid him.
