BACKSTORY:
Child: Brutus was born to a plebeian family in the city of Asrakos. His father was a levy to the king and his mother tended to him and his older brother. While his father was away on small campaigns, the family sold their produce and lived a normal life. When his father returned, he spent much time with Brutus and the family. Brutus's father taught Brutus to always stand up for himself and for the weak, but to be kind and smart. These lessons would have a moral and profound impact on Brutus.
Teen: But Brutus's life took a drastic turn in his teenage years. His family, and many other family farms, could no longer compete with the large slave run farms owned by patricians. With his family on the verge of poverty, Brutus heard about the King's reward for men who enlisted in his army for more than 10 years. He took up arms right away and joined the Asrakosian army. By the time he was 18, Brutus had already been involved in the successful defense of border forts. He had become a Decanus the next year and was on his way to become an Optio.
Adult: When Brutus turned 21, he was an Optio or the Centurion's officer and continued to defend border forts from various hostile tribes. But during one assault, the Centurion was slain and Brutus was promoted to the Centurion at the age of 26. He was one of the youngest commanders and often under estimated because of this. Brutus continued to stay in the army after the 10 year contract for double payment for his service. Brutus, when he was 32 years old, defended the fort from a barbarian onslaught. When the barbarians were in retreat, he dispatched his men to charge at the retreating barbarians while in a shield wall position. After many more hours of fighting, the barbarians had been routed. For this victory, Brutus was praised heavily by others including the king himself. After his famous victory, he continued his service until he finally retired at the age of 42. He then became a courtier, adviser and then emissary for the king after he served for the Asrakosian navy for a short time.
But when the king died and his son took over, things began to take a change. When the houses began to war over each other, Brutus was exiled by the new king due to his sympathies with another rival house. He has left his homeland for a new life.
