.Main Character Name: Markus Scipio Speris

.Race: Dwarf

.Equipment Carried: Heavy traveler's rucksack (contains maps, medical supplies, rations, journal, several other things). Canteen.

.Weapon(s) and Armour: Gladius, three pilum, scutum, lorica segmentata, iron leggings, boots, Centurion's helmet

.History: Born and raised to commoner's parents.
