A member of the Patrician Gens Vetti,[2] Vettius Gratus was related to the consuls Gaius Vettius Gratus Atticus Sabinianus (possibly his brother or cousin) and Gaius Vettius Gratus Sabinianus (possibly his grandson or grand-nephew).

In AD 250, Vettius Gratus was appointed consul posterior, serving alongside the emperor Decius.[3]
