Cassius Lupus Conclamatus

"We all fight for something. I fight for glory."- Cassius Lupus Conclamatus

A fearsome warrior for a bygone empire, Cassius Lupus was sought out by Apollyon to serve the Blackstone Legion. In his time with the Legion, Cassius remained behind the scenes of most battles, working as a blacksmith and engineer to produce weapons and machines for the Blackstone conquests. When the final siege of Apollyon's fortress took place, Cassius took up his gladius and armor, leading a small group of men to defend the interiors of the fortress. Wounded by a band of attacking samurai, he made his way to the top of the fortress to report to Apollyon, only to witness her death at the hands of the Emperor's Champion. As Vikings began raiding the now conquered fortress and Knights battled Samurai on the bridges, Cassius retreated to the forests of Valkenheim to regain his strength.

Aided by a Shaman, who he protected in return and later fell in love with, Cassius healed quickly from his wounds and returned to Ashfeld, where he was found and recruited by a cult who worshipped Mt. Ignis as a soldier. The Ignis Cult was able to convert Cassius to their practices, but he soon lost faith in them when it became clear that they could not hold their lands nor be tactful in their battles. Once again, Cassius was without allegiances to any one organisation. He became a mercenary, fighting for the highest bidder, even becoming a sport fighter for the Jarls of the vikings in their gladiatorial pits.

When the New Blackston Legion was formed, Cassius saw his chance at a life of glory and true battle once again. Though he had not fought in a war for some time, he joined the New Blackstones, ready to fight again, no matter if he lived or died.
