Many months after Installation 09 entered slipspace and left the Ark, Atriox decided to commit to a war of attrition and needed to gather resources, so Pavium and Voridus were tasked to scout and salvage any crashed starships near the ruined remains of High Charity, which had crashed down on to the Ark's surface seven years before. He also gained favor with Atriox's right-hand man Decimus, who gave Pavium an enormous tower shield, almost as tall as himself, for use in battle. Due to his adherence to discipline, his brother was placed under his command so Pavium could keep an eye on him and try to keep the glory-seeking Brute lieutenant under control. However, with his mixed loyalties to the Banished and his clan, his advancing in the ranks has been somewhat slow.ĭuring his long service with the Banished, alongside his younger and brasher brother Voridus, he accrued significant favor with their leader Atriox despite Voridus's repeated slip-ups in battle. He has become well known for his skillful use of long-range artillery, like Mega-turrets using his Orbital Designator, and has such prowess in building defenses and commanding the defensive line that he has become known as 'The Unbreakable'.
Pavium was an architect and siege master that constructed numerous fortifications for the Banished.
