Roman

Roman Aramov is a fair newcomer to these fair lands, but has still wandered near and far.

Early Life
Roman 'Aquila' Aramov was born on a huge imperial homestead near a town in the middle of no-where, the son of a pair of poor freed slaves that had worked and scraped for their freedom. But this peasant had big dreams. Dreams of a prosperous homeland in which all could be equal and where the constant grind for survival was no more. One day, their homestead was attacked by a horde of monsters. The people he'd known all of his life were cut down around him; even his own father was torn to pieces before his eyes. A cunning organiser, Roman arranged a last defence of a small chokepoint in the manor and in doing so saved the Lord's family, his own mother and the mere handful of remaining peasants from the staff. The Lord, thankful for his life offered him a boon. Roman took a fine steed, a note of recommendation and a heavy purse, then set off with a purpose. To see that none ever suffer at the hands of monsters unprotected, the way that he did, ever again.

Literature
Roman is a chronicler therefore his history is recorded in the volumes of his books The Adventures of a Roman.

Book one, The Adventure I, tells of his initial joining to the empire. It tells his long journey across the lands and seas on his pilgrimage through many strange cities and cultures to the city of Lileanen. It spans until he eventually settles in Lostesrei where he finds home for the first time since his wandering began.

Book two, named The Adventure II, is in the works; it details his life in Lostesrei and the experiences he had. Burglary, community projects, constructing defences and exploring the continent are but a few.

Book three named (you guessed it) The Adventure III is also mere notes on a page... for now.

Appearance
A man used to hard work, he stands at above average height and the blood of the north flows through his veins. Blonde with kind, yet piercing, blue eyes, he stands not as a downtrodden peasant as his origin would suggest but with the calm confidence of a man who knows his own capabilities.
