Characters

Octavian
primary
A lean and wiry young man in his late twenties, with sharp features, piercing gray eyes, and short, neatly trimmed dark brown hair. His face is clean-shaven in the Roman fashion, and his posture exudes a quiet, controlled intensity. His hands are clasped behind his back, betraying a habit of measured restraint, even in the heat of battle. His skin is lightly tanned from prolonged exposure to the Mediterranean sun.
Fleet Captain
secondary
A hardened naval commander in his early 40s, with a muscular build from years at sea. His sun-weathered face bears a scar across the left cheek, a souvenir from past battles. Short, practical black hair and keen brown eyes that miss nothing on the water.
Sailor
secondary
A wiry, sun-bronzed man in his late 20s with salt-crusted hair tied back with a strip of leather. His forearms bear rope burns and old scars from years at sea. His face is weathered by wind and sun, with deep crow's feet around his squinting eyes.
Sextus Pompey
secondary
A man in his early thirties, with a lean but muscular build from years of naval command. His face is weathered from the sea, with sharp features and a prominent nose inherited from his father. His dark brown hair is cut short in the Roman style, and his piercing eyes are filled with determination.
Archer
background
A lean, sun-bronzed marine archer in his late twenties, with sinewy arms developed from years of archery practice. His face is streaked with sweat and soot from the battle, with sharp eyes focused intently on his targets. Short, dark hair clings to his forehead beneath a simple leather headband.
