Lucius Artorius Castus

**Lucius Artorius Castus** (*Rushiasu Aatoriasu Kasutasu*) is a young Imperial and heir to the Castus family, making a name for himself among his already well known family through his efforts in expanding humanity's territory beyond the walls. Using his mastery of Cosmic Magic, a magic passed down through his family since long before even his great grandfather's time being traced back when humanity first began to take up magic against the Horrors, Lucius would rise quickly through the ranks of the Crusaders before tackling his greatest opponent yet: The World of politics where he now runs for a seat in the Senate in hopes of procuring even greater funding for the expeditions taken on by his fellow Crusaders under the belief that Humanity's future lies beyond the walls of the Nexus.

## Personality

People's perception of Lucius comes down to where they know him from, his fellow crusaders would describe him as a fierce and loyal comrade dedicated to the mission of expanding human territory beyond the walls. A valiant and capable leader and a warrior to his core. To the Plebs of Roma he is known as a generous and kind soul, sharing with them his many riches gained through his successful campaigns and businesses thus making him one of the most well known and beloved politicians by the lower class. To his fellow Imperials they would consider him just as much a joy to them as he is a thorn, a powerful political opponent as well as a respected investor making his relationship with many of them rocky at best, both hated and beloved depending on the situation in which someone finds themselves in his presence.

Together, these interpretations do well to paint a picture of the man and yet few know the real Lucius, such an honor only being bestowed upon his family and closest friends. A strong and dignified warrior who has dedicated his life to fighting back against the world beyond the walls that would seek to keep then trapped within them forever like a tomb and yet despite his voracity he is not lacking in the skillful mind of a scholar, not simply keen on reclaiming the land of their forebears but also in understanding it. A collector of many curious vestiges of the past found beyond the walls as well as a philanthropist funding many teams in charge or researching anything brought back from the world beyond the walls and piecing together the history of the world that was lost to them.

A charismatic and gentlemanly figure both in looks and in personality, Lucius is known for his silver tongue. Be it a political rally, a social gathering, or even a meeting with his superiors, Lucius is known as a man who gets what he wants. Not through threats of violence or by throwing about his coin but through sheer and uncontested Charismatic fortitude, a saying among the lower class being that "He could talk a priest from his faith, a confession from a killer, and the pants off a virgin." A saying that has unfortunately started many a rumor about his love life once hearing a comment from a listener during a political rally say something along the lines of "His opponents may not like him, but their wives do." Such rumors being one of the few misconceptions about the man he has been unable to quell from spreading like wildfire.

In truth, Lucius is a man of deep faith, a Crusader to his core, and thus he adheres to the tenats of his faith. Choosing the patronage of the Demi-God Joshua he does not believe in lusting after women, believing in the sanctity of marriage and what that brings with it. Drinking only occasionally during social events, celebrations, and Holidays. Never smoking or doing other recreational drugs and keeping his body healthy both in staying in line with his faith as well making sure he does not become complaisant with the luxuries afforded to him. For this same reason he does not hire servants or help around the home, instead seeing to such duties himself to remain humble in the face of all the privileges he has been blessed with in his life...
