Difference between revisions of "Axus"

Axus originally lived during the time period of the ancient Roman Republic and served in its army during the rule of Julius Caesar. Caesar took an interest into Axus' brutality and overall combat dominance on the battlefield, promoting him to the rank of Legate. Though, Axus never took part in any major battles recorded in history, he instead commanded a series of wars behind the scenes described simply as the "Secret Wars." This separate campaign of wars were some of the main causes of how the Roman Republic won the wars it did. As time rolled on, Axus continued to win wars and prove the might of the republic he represented, but Caesar began to have second thoughts about Axus' loyalty toward him, leading him to believe that Axus was the murderer that his wife had seen in her dreams. This information was then, somehow, learned by the politician Brutus who, at the time, was really the one conspiring to murder Caesar before his rule would spin out of control. For Brutus, this opened a window of opportunity; as Caesar kept Axus under watch, Brutus wrote a fake letter that contained plans to murder Caesar, containing Axus' name, and gave it to Caesar. Outraged, Caesar Ordered that Axus was to be brought to him at once. When Axus arrived, still unknowing of what had happened, was ambushed by legion members and captured. Instead of Caesar outright killing Axus right away, he instead planned for his death to be a slow and painful one. Caesar ordered his men to break Axus' legs, sever an arm, and brutally beat and whip him then leave him die slowly from blood loss in a prison cell, if he lived. Unfortunately, being the abnormally enduring, he managed to survive the torture.
