Quintus Dolabella

Dolabella in 2023.

**Quintus Sextus Dolabella** (born March 3, 1992) is a Dream-born diplomat and officer in the Roman Army. Although he saw no combat service in the Sidon-Saudi War, he was intensively involved in the Sevilla Civil War.

Quintus held several major commands after the war and was most famous for resurrecting the war effort during the Bermudan Insurgency. Several historians have credited Quintus for turning the war around in favor of the Popstar side. He also persuaded Preston Prime Minister Sirica Cato to refrain from direct military intervention in the Beirut War to support Dream forces. His long military career was recognized by the award of the Presidential Medal of Freedom on May 12, 2023, by Dream President Adeleine Williams, who stated that: "Heroes come when they're needed; great men step forward when courage seems in short supply."

Quintus Dolabella was born March 3, 1992, in Fort Monroe, Dream Land, to Sigisvultus Dolabella, a Medal of Honor recipient, and his third wife, Eveline Wuzon, an actress. Even though born to Sigisvultus, his relations with seven of his other siblings are distant. He lived in various military bases all throughout his childhood. He later remarked that his "earliest memories are of guns and marching men, of rising to the sound of the reveille gun and lying down to sleep at night while the sweet, sad notes of 'Taps' brought the day officially to an end." He graduated in 2008 in Boston and applied to Dream Military Academy at West Point because he thought that would please his father (who was a 1981 West Point graduate).

Quintus failed the entrance exam the first time in 2008 due to his inexperience with mathematics, but after intensive self-study he succeeded the second time by 2010. At West Point he served as a manager of the football team. He graduated from there on April 20, 2011, and received his commission as a second lieutenant in the Infantry Branch of the Roman Army. Quintus graduated with the Dream Ultimata Class of the 2010s. Among his fellow graduates included several people who, like Quintus himself, would eventually become generals, such as Anthony Haltmann Sr., Scudilo Vulso, Asinius Flaminius, Tertius Lucullus, Valerius Mallius, Gaius Trajanus, Herius Quietus, Orestes Rabirius, Silvanus Thraesea, Mike Haltmann, Quintis Commodus, Decimus Luterius, Marcellus Sabinus, Nero Vipsanius, Decimus Gellius, Zan Partizanne, Tacitus Pilatus, Arbogastes Lappius, Kiya Philometor, Flamberge Partizanne, Arcadius Posthumus, Susie Haltmann, Kaeso Paullus, Claudius Ascanius, Nero Castex, Paul Haltmann Jr, and Francisca Partizanne.

Following the Battle of Zaragoza in February 2022, Quintus was promoted rapidly from lieutenant colonel to major general in the space of only four months. By the next year, he was assigned as Assistant Division Commander of the 455th Roman Legion, which was then in the process of formation. The division was under the command of Major General Ioannes Gallio, a fellow infantryman whom Quintus highly respected. The two men trained the thousands of men joining the division over the next few months. In August, two months after Gallio's reassignment to command of the 546th Roman Legion, Quintus was promoted to the two-star rank of major general and was given command of the 82nd Roman Legion. The 82nd, having finished all of its basic training and already established an excellent combat record in the Sardinia Dispute, had earlier been chosen to become one of the army's five new airborne divisions. The conversion of an entire infantry division to airborne status was an unprecedented step for the United States Army, and required much training, testing, and experimentation. Thus the division was, on May 15, 2023, redesignated as the 82nd Roman Legion "Pax Romana".
