Dead Sea

Dead Sea is a decanus of Caesar's Legion in command of the legionaries occupying Nelson in 2281.
==Background==
Dead Sea has not known life outside the Legion. Taken as a child from the tribes on the shores of the Great Salt Lake by Caesar's agents, he was raised and inculcated with Caesar's doctrine, creating an obedient and loyal soldier. His boundless devotion to his master led to a martial career, thus far culminating in the rank of decanus, earned in 2276.The Courier: "Who are you?"Dead Sea: "I am a loyal servant of Caesar, and I thank my good fortune for the day that he plucked me as a babe from the shore of the Great Salt Lake. For five years I have had the privilege of serving as a Decanus. If fortune continues to smile upon me, I will serve him until I draw my last breath. I hope that satisfies your curiosity about me, because I won't waste any more of Caesar's time talking about myself."(Dead Sea's dialogue) His notable victories include the defeat of the Sun Dogs tribe. His martial prowess in that campaign earned him a rare distinction, a unique machete, the Liberator, gifted to him by his centurion.The Courier: "I've slaughtered the enemy at Camp Forlorn Hope."Dead Sea: " Here - take this, my blade. It was a gift from my Centurion upon the defeat of the Sun Dog tribe."(Dead Sea's dialogue) 
Although zealously devoted to Caesar, Dead Sea craves glory in battle. He would gladly part with the Liberator if it meant the opportunity for earning another such accolade.The Courier: "Why would I want a piece of shit machete?"Dead Sea: ""(Dead Sea's dialogue) As such, while he does not second-guess or dispute Caesar's orders, he is frustrated with being stationed at Nelson on what is basically a routine terror operation. Only the bloodshed and the effect they have on the enemy calms the thirst for blood, guts, and glory in him.The Courier: "What's the situation here?"Dead Sea: ""(Dead Sea's dialogue)The Courier: "How can I help break the stalemate?"Dead Sea: " It is Caesar's will that I hold this position - that I advance. "(Dead Sea's dialogue)The Courier: "You're demoralizing the enemy by leaving them alone?"Dead Sea: " "(Dead Sea's dialogue)The Courier: "Why haven't you attacked the enemy?"Dead Sea: " "(Dead Sea's dialogue)
However, he is also quick to snap at people who presume to have any authority over him. It provides a useful outlet for his frustration, even if the slight is accidental.The Courier: "No offense intended. Carry on."Dead Sea: " "(Dead Sea's dialogue)
