Arminius

Arminius is a character in The Roman Film. Although he begins the film working for Maximus, his idealistic nature and strong moral core leads him to desert the army and join the Main Crew.
==Character==
===Appearance===
Arminius is a human male with choppy dark windblown hair. He is slight of frame but lithe and athletic. He is often seen wearing a grey tunic with a sword tucked into his belt. The tunic conceals his Roman-red undershirt and shows how Arminius remains in the grey-spaces of affiliation, prioritising immediate moral judgement over longstanding allyship.
===Personality===
Though loyal, Arminius's morality and sense of justice triumphs over pre-established affiliations and he has no issue with deserting a former ally if he asserts that they're in the wrong. He is shown to have an optimistic personality and strong convictions.
===Skills & Abilities===
He is an adept archer, very brave and has a strong sense of integrity. He is also a fairly skilled negotiator.
==History==
He begins the film allied with the Romans, but quickly realises that Magnus Maximus is an untrustworthy leader. After deserting the army and leaving his post, he attempts to gain the trust of the Celts, but is driven away by Morien's parents, as well as by Gwydion.
He later manages to win the trust of the Main Crew as they pass through Coed Cai, with Morien and Gaius choosing to have faith in the ex-soldier. He guides them through the Broken Forest and explains the Roman deforestation, an image symbolic of Maximus's greed and its effects on Britannia. As Iolo tracks their path through the Broken Forest, he eventually reunites with the gang and also agrees to trust Arminius.
He aids his companions in the Dragon Battle, and in the prior attempts to prevent the dragon's initial release.
==Trivia==
* Some believe that the name 'Arminius' derives from the Germanic element 'ermen', meaning 'whole, universal'.
