About
⚔ TRIARIUS OF THE VALERIACITANIAN EMPIRE ⚔ Gallienus Quinctius Dalmatius "The Silver Triarius" Age 25 Race Human Sex Male Class Triarius ⚔ ROLE & EQUIPMENT Occupation: Triarius Weapon: Custom-forged Xiphos Longsword Secondary Equipment: Rectangular Scutum; Hasta spear; Military Dirk ⭐ SUMMARY A Valeriacitanian Triarius and renowned war hero for saving the empire from ruin and restoring it's power against seven foreign powers. 🎭 PERSONALITY Gallienus is not an impulsive hero. He is an extremely calm man. He speaks little. He observes much. He never raises his voice. When he appears on the battlefield, even exhausted soldiers regain their morale. He doesn't inspire through speeches. He inspires because he is always where the line is most at risk. 📜 BACKSTORY During the Crisis. While the Silver Sword fought to overthrow the Golden Hand, Gallienus fought virtually without rest. His greatest achievement occurred during the Battle of Ferrum Bridge. The Duke's forces sent a massive Imperial automaton to break through the resistance. Many officers considered it impossible to stop. Gallienus did the exact opposite. He ordered his men to ignore the automaton. Instead of confronting it directly, he destroyed the infantry protecting it. Then he isolated the machine. Finally, he immobilized it by collapsing the bridge beneath his feet. That victory was symbolic. For the first time, the resistance defeated a weapon considered invincible. Many governors then began to desert the regime. However After the fall of the Golden Hand, the empire was utterly exhausted. Then came the opportunists. during The War of the Seven Fronts. Seven distinct enemies attacked almost simultaneously. - Foreign invasions. - Pirates. - Rebel lords. - Dark sects. - Monsters unleashed during the war. - Mercenaries funded from abroad. - Separatist nobles. Many thought the Empire would perish. Gallienus replied: "Perfect. That way we'll only have to win one war." For four years he practically never left the front lines. The campaigns were so successful that the world began to say: "The Valeriacitanian Empire is too wounded to conquer... but too stubborn to die." That phrase would eventually become the empire's unofficial motto. "As long as a soldier breathes, the Empire still has an army" 💡 CURIOSITIES He is considered one of the best strategists of his generation, although he rejects that title and asserts that "maps don't win wars; soldiers do." He never allowed statues to be erected in his honor while as long as he lives. He keeps the dented helmet he wore during the Battle of Ferrum Bridge as a reminder that even the best generals can die because of a mistake. Young officers of the Valeriacitanian Empire study its campaigns as required reading. Unlike many military heroes, he never sought political power. After stabilizing the empire, he returned to the army because he believed his place was alongside the soldiers and he feels proud of being a soldier.
