[b]Legatus Origins[/b]

Titus was born the third son to a middle-class farming family from Ostia. Being the youngest son, there was little prospect for Titus to follow his brothers into agriculture, and support a life and family of his own on his father’s meager estate. Facing this reality, Titus’ father encouraged him from a young age to seek a life beyond the one in which he was born. Titus found that new life in the Legions, and joined the ranks of the Roman military at age 17. 

His short journey to the VI Legion occurred by pure, fortuitous chance, and the story is one often told to the fresh-faced recruits of the Ironclad ranks. The story itself, in short, goes that upon being declared fit for duty, Titus was on his way to swear his [i]sacramentum[/i] to the III Legion, when he happened upon the then Legatus of the VI Legion, Publius Fulvius Lupus. Meeting the Legatus of the VI Legion and his retinue upon the road, Titus had just moved to the side to allow the party to pass when Publius’ horse stepped into a hole and broke its leg, subsequently pitching its esteemed rider to the ground. 

Without thinking, Titus rushed forward, and was first to reach the downed Legatus and offer him a helping hand. Publius was taken with the young man’s swift action, and bold pluck, and in short order had convinced Titus to enlist into the ranks of the Ironclad. From that point, Titus rose through the ranks, fighting in the VI Legion’s many campaigns with the same bold and swift action that he had shown on the day of his chance meeting with Publius. 

Years later, following his promotion to the rank of Centurion, [i]Pilus prior[/i], and commander of the [i]triarii[/i], Titus was called to the side of his mentor. An ailing Publius, wracked with fever, imparted his command over the VI Legion to Titus. The great Legatus died the following morning. Grief stricken though he was, Titus began his new position as the head of the Ironclads in earnest, and set out to fulfill his mentor’s confidence with honor and glory for both Rome, and the VI Legion. 

Now, only two years since the death of his predecessor, Titus waits eagerly for the opportunity to prove his mettle, and show that the VI Legion indeed deserves the lofty moniker of ‘Ironclad.’
