He once served under Caesar as a favored centurion--that's how he'd like to be remembered. Truth be told, he betrayed his commander and refused to cross the Rubicon with his legion. He wouldn't stand for dictators and that's what he feared Caesar would become once they crossed the river and entered Rome. He wound up in Greece on the side of Caesar's rival Pompey, where he fought at the Battle of Pharsalus. Surviving the battle, he wandered aimlessly throughout Greece and Italy as a sword for hire, while always keeping one eye over his shoulder for assassins. Bitter, haunted, and full of self-doubt, he meet a Seeker who offered him a new life as a duelist in Phyrra.
