## Stavros Napoleoni

### Affiliation

The Roman Elite, The Roman Empire (formerly)

## Appearance

### **Physical Description**

Ross is a well-built, well-toned body and is quite pale due to centuries locked within a statue. He possesses short, golden blond hair and crystal clear, sapphire blue eyes.

### **Clothing**

He doesn't typically wear civilian clothes due to his difference in age and what classifies as "civilian clothes" to him. He usually just wears a black jumpsuit under bronze body armour, a bronze-made cowl helmet, a utility belt, modern combat boots, black gloves with bronze plating, and wields a bronze shield with the head on Medusa carved into it.

## Personality

Ross used to be a completely loyal foot soldier for the Roman Empire. After Roman soldiers betrayed his trust, Stavros's eyes were opened to the horrors of the world of man by the Amazons, which when combijned with the earlier betrayal, led him to turn on the empire. He went from being young, stupid, and eager to serve his nation to a hardened warrior with a true purpose.

## History

Back when he fought for the Roman Empire, Stavros was quite a different person. He was a foot soldier, completely loyal to his nation. He was young, stupid, and eager. It was only by the Fates' desogn that he was left for dead on a forgotten island, where he was left for dead.

However, death would not claim him; instead, he was granted the mercy of finally finding something to drink. This drink was the so-called "Nector of the Gods." By drinking the Nector, he was given power beyond what was human. Though such a presence he now possesses was now quite noticeable to the natives of the island. Stavros would venture across the island only to find that on the other side, the home of the Amazons of Greek myth existed. The island he'd been left to die on had been the mythical island of Themiscyra.

The Amazons could telll he was one who possessed the power of the Nector of the Gods within him so rather than kill him as they usually would, they opted to teach him the ways of the Amazons. In his time within their society he came to realize the atrocities committed by the Roman Empire and would swiftly turn on his homeland. Upon the completion of his training, Stavros was given a boat and some bronze and **Tantalum** forged armour and was sent to the Greek mainland to fight against the Roman Empirial Army.

For the next few years, Stavros fought valiantly to protect those who were oppressed throughout the Roman Territory only to be betrayed by the right hand of his crew and turned to stone for centuries. But his legacy lived on, people would rise up and fight against the Romans and the Empire would fall soon after. Following the downfall of the Roman Empire, Stavros's petrified body was stood in the centre of Rome as an icon of the fall of that wretched empire.
