Biography: Octavius was born in Isvarld, on August 7th, 4975. Very early in his life, tragedy seeped in, as the Hadrianites laid waste to the Westvarlder villages, after Baldric signed the peace treaty with Hadrian VI. As the Hadrianites attacked, Octavius' mother grabbed her son and put him into a wicker basket, and then, sent him down the Burgen river, before her life, like her husband's, was taken by an 18-year-old Hadrian VII. Octavius drifted along the river and went into the oceans that divided Chalcion and Isvarld. By pure chance, Octavius was discovered by a Chalcionese fishing party who were heading out to catch crab. When they returned to port Canonfire, king Akakios was making a regular visit to the hold to see how things were going. He attended the docking of the ship and noticed that the fishermen discovered a baby boy. Akakios' wife, Queen Cloelia, failed to give a successful birth twice prior to this, so the king felt urged to help the baby, but not without asking the captain if any of the men is able to raise the child. The sailors were unable to do so, because they were either too poor, or had enough children. Moved, Akakios adopted the baby and gave him the name Octavius. Five years later, Cloelia successfully gave birth to a baby boy that was meant to be the future king of Chalcion - Alexander. As Octavius and Alexander grew, they never had an air of jealousy about heirloom between them and loved each other like true brothers. Both would grow up to be fully trained for the army and become skilled warriors. On the day of the attack on Chalcivitas, on September 13th, 4999, Alexander was captured by the Hadrianites and the Chalcionese general was dead, and the Hadrianites were too strong in numbers to take on. Akakios had no choice but to give his sword to Octavius and entrust him with leadership over the troops of Chalcion. Octavius fled Chalcivitas with around 2000 knights, and watched as his hometown was taken by the Hadrianites. Over the course of the year, Octavius made sure to keep all the other holds and villages safe of the Hadrianites, and now come the months of the final operations to free Chalcion. What is to come - he does not know. Equipment: When riding, Octavius wears strong leather clothing complete with a green cape to minimize weight. However, when fighting on foot, he can be seen wearing full steel plate armor. He prefers not to wear a helmet. His main weapon of combat is a longsword, while he always carries a dagger strapped to his waist. On other occasions he carries a double-bladed, two-hand battleaxe. He also uses a longbow on more silent attacks & solo missions. Skills: Octavius is a master swordsman and a very skilled wielder of two-handed hacking and bashing weapons. He is also a great archer, and fairly skilled at using siege weaponry. Other: Octavius often enjoys drinking ale, but hardly eats a lot of meat or sweets for that matter.
