Gaius
An anciant Aquan term for a noble who takes it upon themself to lead the people, instead of simply living their lives. They take on a measure of responsibility that is backed up by the Emperor Himself. That responsibility is also punishable by death, if wantonly neglected or purposely despotic. To be sure, the bar to prove either the former or the latter is set very high, however.
