Two Marian Questions

First of all, do I need seven Latifundia in Italy to trigger. The FAQ is somewhat ambiguous, at least to my reading. Secondly, if a general has all the necessary traits and influence-command, are there any traits that could keep him from becoming a PotentialReformator? Thanks.

Shamelessly Stolen from Che Rorinhos Manual project.

The Marian Reforms mark a shift between citizen soldiers and professional
soldiers from any class who are supplied their equipment by the state. These
reforms will occur when you have a large empire with a lack of landed citizens
to fill the growing need for soldiers. If at this point there is a man willing to
make the changes to the military system, the reforms will take place.
● At least the year 172BC
● Have more than 6 Latifundia built in Italy
● Hold at least 45 settlements
● Fight more than 250 battles
● Have a character that is:
Sharp/Charismatic/Vigorous
Popularis
Consul or Ex-Consul
Has Influence > 2
Has Command > 2
OR
● Conquer 90 settlements.

Okay, thanks, but I have that information. Maybe I need to be more specific. Here's three pictures showing all the traits of the guy I want to be the next Marius.

Now, is there any reason he shouldn't be able to trigger the reforms? His dad got the Potential Reformator trait, and he's Not Like His Father, but that shouldn't stand in the way, should it? Also, what is the significance of the upgrade from Potential Reformator to Reformator. One of my other characters got that earlier, but he's dead now.

A Potential Reformator will become an actual Reformator if he's faction leader, I think. If your faction leader is Reformator, you will have reforms if the rest of the conditions are met, such as time.
