Vito Octus the father of the Dominion and the self proclaimed leader of humanity. He lead the Dominion in it's earliest stages and iniciated the Unification wars (Which still wages to this day.)

The Early history of Vito Octus is a foggy topic seeings as the Dominion only keeps the important parts and the Federation erased all memory of this man. Of what is known is that

"on the Terran Federation colony world of Helios a man rose up. A man that spoke with fire in his voice and wielded the power of the people. On the black day this man declared a rebel state. One that plans to wage war on terra itself! The people fed by his speeches created a mighty military one that could rival terra."

- Terran Federation official record on 'He who must not be named'

Vito did have one son the Iron Chancellor, Actus Minks who furthered the expansion war 'freeing' multiple systems and expanding beyond known human space. He was also the Autoarch during the first bug war. Past the point though.

Vito is known to his people as the father of the nation and has cult of popularity much like stalin. Even to this day soldiers and civilians alike will put on his speeches during times of need.

"Now I ask of you me brothers and sisters, what is a people who do not serve their nation and what is a nation that does not serve it's people? The answer lies in the old government of Terra! Look back to the days when we where enslaved by their yoke, the days when our very rights as humans where challenged, the days when the corrupt government of terra would cheat and lie to it's people! A place where change for the better was impossible and evil was furthered! If any of you doubt the good of the Dominion or it's message look back to the days of old and the government that was replaced! That is what I ask of you!"

- The question speech.

"The Dominion shall never again let it's people be enslaved nor will it allow anymore to fall under the yoke of the federation! Rise up my dear brothers and sisters! Rise up and join the battle for freedom, a battle of good and evil, a battle of the common man and the rich overlords, a battle that shall decide the very fate of humanity! I ask of every man, women, and child to support our army and to join it's growing ranks! Duty, Honor, and country that is what you have and will fight for! Remember those three things duty, honor, and country for that is what I fight for!"

- the speech that started the unification war.
