name: Cato 'the Sword of Mars'
age: 45
gender: male
nationality: Originally from Greece, now a citizen of Rome
appearance: Cato stands just under 7 feet, his body is muscular, but not overtly so. There are scars all around his body - gotten both at the arena and on the field of battle. His quite handsome face however has surprisingly remained without scars. Outside of combat Cato wears a simple gray tunic most of the times.

weapons: For armament Cato has chosen two gladii swords, a scutum shield and a trident - not that he would wield all of them at once - usually he begins the battle with his trident and shield, at some point he discards his trident, pulls out the first gladius and when the need arises he would discard the shield and resort in to dual wielding the gladii. If the swords fail him he'll resort in to using pankration.

work outside being a gladiator: Secretary of M. Cornelius Falco

revolutionary or not: Cato is strongly against the revolt, but has chosen the route of neutrality.

Bio: Being bought as a slave for a young and upstart lawyer hadn't seemed like such a good fate for Cato. He had hated this Marcus Cornelius Falco from the very moment they had first laid eyes on each other. That had been 21 years ago when both men had been young and foolish.

Over the years the men slowly became friends after bonding over many things - their shared love of the poet Homer, their near equal skill in combat - both physical and oratorial - and ofcourse over their shared hatred of certain people.

Cato first stepped to the sands of an arena more as a little jest than out of any fondness for fighting - he had been just under 30 at that time and his master, whom was not quite his friend yet at that point - had made a little bet with a quite wealthy senator about something. Cato had dispatched his foes with little ease that day and would step to the sands whenever Falco deemed it necessary.

Now that Cato is growing old and getting slower he prefers to stay out of combat - or actually any kinds of fighting really - however if the need arises he will use his experience, renown and every dirty trick he's learned over the years to his advantage.
