Tulios Caius Ticius had been raised to lead other men. Although his education was relatively sophisticated by the Roman standards of his time, that Roman had the soul of a brave legionnaire, just as his father, his grandfather, his great-grandfather. Some years later, he had been praised by his superiors for defending alone a fortification against a dozen of Partians in the prairies of Far East - this gave him the nickname of the "ultimate warrior in the prairies". More than 6'2 tall, 200 pounds of muscles covered and sculpted his body. Had he existed in other days, when machines had been invented, Tulio's fighting skills would have been help him to be called a "killing machine" - without his weapons, he was capable of killing the strongest opponents even if they were heavily armed.<br/><br/>This explains why Tulios had never felt afraid of anything.<br/><br/>When sent to the North of Greece, some locals had warned him about the evil Barbarians. However, Tulios did not pay attention to those rumours. Actually, he was in a kind of exploration mission to find out new lands for Rome to conquer. In spite of being the commander of a centuria, he picked up a small group of three valuable legionnaires to follow him. "This should be enough", the confident Roman thought.<br/><br/>After many days riding, Tulios finally reached the limits of the map a Greek trader had sold him. Beyond those lands, there was nothing in the map. Then, the landscape began to change: more and more trees began to appear. "This is a good sign, the land must be good", one of his men spoke. Actually, the absence of any trace of human civilization led all the Romans to calmly ride. Tulios enjoyed riding his dark stallion - those lands were so peaceful, compared to the other Roman borders.
