Biography[]
Justus was born in Pyrrhus in 2349, one year after his parents married. He studied at the Vekta City Elementary school from 2353 to 2354 and Pyrrhus Junior Academy at 5th Grade.[1]
During the ISA counter-invasion of Helghan, Justus and his family were under house arrest at the Vektan Embassy, as his father's immunity from any sort of harm had been made null from the invasion. Because his father was a close friend of Admiral Grey and it was his intel that saved her from death during the Helghast invasion of Vekta, she intended to return the favor by sending mercenaries to rescue them and place them in safe hands.
During the Helghast assault on the embassy, Justus and his parents were hold up in one of the rooms, where the family's bodyguard, Boris holds off the attackers. Tragically, his father and mother were shot and killed. Moments later, the mercenary, Arran Danner, arrives and Justus is escorted by Danner and Boris to the docks, where they intend to escape by boat. After fighting through Helghast soldiers, Justus and Danner succeed in escaping to the docks. However, Boris dies in the effort to Justus's dismay. Before leaving, Justus lamented that he can never come back nor will he ever see his parents and Boris again.
He was eventually taken under the care of Admiral Grey, who keeps him close at all times. But in reality, Grey learned that Justus was unknowingly implanted with a plasmid trigger, which was to activate Colonel Vyktor Kratek's bioweapon, by Dr. Mandor Savic. Grey intended on keeping Justus alive in order to use Kratek's bioweapon to exterminate the Helghast. Justus was took to Facility X01 as Grey intended to seize the bioweapon, but he was eventually rescued by Danner. Grey and Kratek were killed in the conflict, and Danner protected Justus from being taken by PTC mercenary Anders Benoit, who planned on selling both Justus and the virus on the black market.
After escaping from the facility, the arms dealer Blackjack helped in wiping out Justus's identity and allowing him to become a "normal kid again."
