SELECTED

Caecina Alienus

primary

A middle-aged Roman commander with a lean, battle-hardened physique. His face is weathered from years of campaigning, with sharp features, a prominent nose, and deep-set eyes that gleam with strategic cunning. His short-cropped hair is streaked with gray, and a thin scar runs along his left cheekbone, a testament to past battles.

Centurion

secondary

A battle-hardened officer in his late 30s, with a muscular build and a face weathered by years of campaigning. His dark hair is cropped short in military fashion, and a deep scar runs from his left temple to his jawline, a testament to past battles. His piercing grey eyes are sharp and alert, constantly scanning the battlefield.

Legionary

secondary

A grizzled veteran in his late 30s with a muscular build from years of marching and combat. His face is weathered, with a deep scar running from his left temple to cheekbone. His short-cropped hair is matted with sweat and dust, and his forearms bear old battle scars visible beneath his armor.

Standard Bearer

background

A young Roman soldier in his early 20s, lean but muscular from military training. His face is smeared with dirt and sweat, with a fresh cut across his left cheek. His dark brown eyes are wide with a mix of determination and fear, and his short-cropped hair is damp with perspiration.

Dialog

Caecina Alienus Centurion! Reform the left flank before those Vitellian dogs encircle us!

Centurion Testudo formation! Now! Shields high, you maggots!

Caecina Alienus By Dis Pater's beard! Where are our reserves?

Centurion Dead or fled, General. We hold here or die here.

Caecina Alienus Then we make them pay for every inch. Signal the archers to loose at will.

Centurion Archers spent, sir. Last volley spent their shafts.

Caecina Alienus Then by Jupiter's thunder, we'll meet them steel to steel. Sound the advance!
