Saint George (birthname Georgios; 273 AD - April 23rd, 303 AD), also known as George of Lydda, was Greco-Roman legionary, police officer, saint, freedom fighter, folk hero and knight who served as a member of the Praetorian Guard during the reign of Roman Emperor, Diocletian in the 4th century AD.

Backstory

George was born in 273 AD in Cappadocia (what was modern-day Turkey) to Gerondios, a Greco-Roman soldier and Polychronia, a Palestinian Jewish pilgrim from Palestine during the Roman Empire In the 3rd century AD. In 282 AD when George was 9 years old, Gerondios passes away of natural causes, shortly after his passing Polychronia and George move to the village of Lydda (what was Modern-day Lod, Israel) where Polychronia raises George alone and Lydda is were George spent most of his childhood. In 294 AD, when he was 20 years old, George joined the Roman Army as a soldier and was later giving the rank of officer but sometime later George quickly discovered that the Romans treat the Egyptians and his fellow Greeks very poorly, veiwing them as subhuman so George resigned his military post in protest for how the Romans treat other people like dirt and due to this the Roman Empire Diocletian arrested George and tortured him by dragging him through the streets of Nicomedia publicly shaming him in the process and was executed for refusing to make a sacrifice in honour of the pagan gods and to denounce his Christian belief and faith, for his brave sacrifice for standing up to the Romans cruelty George was venerated as a Saint. To this day both Humans and Mammals follow in his foot steps to help people in need and for equality, peace and love towards others, George was 30 years old when he was executed on the 23rd of April, 303 AD.

Over the Centuries many cultures have laid claimed to the tale embellished it in various ways of the myth about Saint George slaying the dragon but this tale originated from the stories made up by Christian Templar Knights during the Crusades in the Middle Ages, According to one story during George's battle with the Dragon, he noticed a vulnerable patch of skin under its arm and charged forward with his sword and slaying the beast.
