Backround/History: I was raised by a centurion who taught me everything I know about warfare and strategy. I served for 15 years in the 10th legion and worked my way up to a Legatus rank. Using my connections within the senate and bribery money earned during campaigns I squeezed my way into politics. I lived a lavish life as a magistrate in the capital. Until the republic was threatened by invasion from various barbarian kingdoms. At which point the cowardly senators sent to face the enemy were slaughtered. With my funding and position I persuaded the sentate to allow me leadership of a legion with which I would face the invaders. Using only 5 thousand men I defeated the 13k man strong barbarian horde using the tactics my father taught me. With hill advantage and strong troop morale my force held back the invaders for 4 straight hours until they fleed in a massed route. The senate was in my debt. I was soon elected Consul. And given full control of the legions. I had all the power yet I was not satisfied. For the glory of the republic I began plans to expand my borders. My first enemy to face would be a mountainous Vaegir kingdom. Let the expansion begin!
