*LIBRARY*<br/><br/>Expanded research on the enemies mentioned merits yet more information:<br/><br/>Records of combat in Pontus [OOC: Modern day Northern Turkey] reveal possible interesting parallels with the case files.<br/><br/>An Amazon General is cited as launching an ambush against the Greek King, Mithridates' bandit allies, who had been sent to pacify a pro-Roman rebellion in the town of Themiscyra, heartland of the Amazon nations.  This Amazon leader is named as Sabra, and she apparently played a pivotal role in the battle.  However, she then disappears from records for a period of months.  It is notable that the battle record notes that, "the native hordes and primitives, fomented by the rhetoric and might of The Bandit God, Azuriel, played the part of foremost infantry element in this conflict."<br/><br/>Three months later, Sabra is listed as a likely bandit leader in raids against the Roman strongpoint and trading center of Amisos, about forty miles from Themiscyra.  She is cited in such reports for three more months, then vanishes.  The next time she appears is in the Caucasus mountains, dominating the kingdom of Caucasian Albania, also known as Arran, from behind the throne.<br/><br/><br/>* * *<br/><br/>Themiscyra is also listed in Roman trading records as the capitol of slave trading during the last year of the eight-year struggle against Mithridates - 66 BC.  Such records indicate all slaving revenues - even those of independent traders - paid at least a percentage of their revenue to a slaving conglomerate operating in Themiscyra and down the nearby rivers.  This slaving empire is titled as "The Scarlet Harvest."  It's leader is a man listed only as "The Reaver."  However, many of the transactions listed on the records cite the person involved in the transaction as "Lia," apparently the lieutenant or executive operative of the Scarlet Harvest.<br/><br/>This is notable in that Lia matches the description of the Pink Demon: Short, Sacae in heritage, wearing human and animal skins, clad in pink boots and having blond pigtails.  Furthermore, a number of these records - those dealing with independent slave traders - have memorandum noting that the Romans, quote, "Found the trader in remiss of his due taxes paid to the Republic and to The Scarlet Harvest.  The account was settled."  Sometimes, it notes that "the account was settled with the fatality of the offending trader."<br/><br/>The account that describes Lia was written by a Legate of General Pompey's, tasked with coordinating business around Amisos and Themiscyra on the behalf of the Senate - a man named Dominus.  Dominus describes a dinner with Lia, hosted by her, and mentions, "her most vulgar manners, which were curiously balanced with a fierce attention to her own barbarian sense of decorum."  According to Dominus, Lia used napkins made of human skin, and bowls made out of human skulls.<br/><br/>It is also noted that Dominus is now a Magistrate presiding over the city of Nysa-Scythopolis, located in Judea.<br/><br/>* * *<br/><br/>The pirate, Lucius, was sighted most recently.  He put in port at Lilybaeum, a week ago, and set sail east along the southern shore.<br/><br/>
