Raised with little knowledge of Order by wandering anthropological covenant Linctus.
Upon his return to Cholaeic lands in 381, he was invited by the Primus Manere Irrumator to represent House Savacion on the new Vestran Council of 198, angering many within the House, who believed that Irrumator's choice was intended to mock them.
Equally possible, though, was that Irrumator had simply slipped a mooring: from the early 380s until he came to his senses in 387, he came to believe that the members of his Council were avatars of the Founders, or perhaps even the Founders themselves reborn.
History does not record what Incitus himself may have thought about the Primus Manere believing him to be an avatar of Savacion.
History does record that from 384 on, he became increasingly involved in the mundane politics of Ventria, and that in 400, he joined with his Aegidian colleague Augustine and the magi of Covenant Acus Doris in working to ensure that the crown of Ventria pass to their favored candidate, Coric of Anzweig, rather than to Coric's rival Severus. After nearly a year of attempting to fix the Ventrian secession through politicking, mentem magics and other such tactics, the conspirators felt they were running out of time and resorted to outright assassination late in the year.
This was not a smart move; it caused Ventria to turn on the Order, and in 401, Irrumator cut a deal with the new Prince Ventria, offering to deliver to him the magi responsible for the assassination in exchange for absolution for the rest of the Order. He betrayed Incitus and his apprentice Gluteus to the Ventrians, along with their colleague Augustine and Irrumator's apprentice. The Ventrians had been given advice and equipment on how to restrain magi: Incitus and Gluteus escaped only by the skin of their teeth, managing to body-swap with their guards at the very last minute. The others, not so lucky, were publicly executed in the capital city of Libra.
After his escape, Incitus was vocal and insistent in his demands that the Order bring Irrumator to justice for his role in Augustine's death. He was able to sway the Primus Manere Suppalpitor, who struck Irrumator from the rolls of House Manere and declared him rogue. He was less successful, however, with his own House: the magi of Leo Compulsus had never supported Incitus' meddling in mundane politics in the first place, and many of them thought that the Vestran magi had got precisely what they had deserved. Leo Compulsus refused to take any official stance on the issue at all --which of course did not prevent those members of House Savacion who were so inclined from leaving their home covenants immediately to hunt Irrumator down. Incitus emerged quickly as the de facto leader of the hunt for Irrumator: he and his student Gluteus searched for him for the next two years, during which time they also canvassed the Order for support in the founding of a covenant which could truly serve as the "Shield of the Order" -- a responsibility which Incitus felt that Covenant Isrillion had blatantly and clearly abdicated during the events of 400-401. Late in 402, after nearly two years of failing to locate Irrumator, he and his allies founded Covenant Ne Interire, which was quickly to become known as the centerpiece of the new traditionalist revival.
The Ne Interirans were party to the Inceptum/Opacan alliance of 404-406. It's not recorded what role Incitus played in that affair, other than being leader of the covenant at the time.
In 422, he and his colleagues at Ne Interire fell under suspicion of membership in the Last Hope Conspiracy; thereafter, they joined the second Savacion rogue hunt, where they were by far the loudest voices calling for the execution of Hugh Trachidis of Fenestra Arcadia, who had been convicted of violating the House's edict regarding the rogue Tenellus in 421.
He was named Dux of the newly-formed Gens Draconis in 424.
