The Wine Dark Sea\Theagenes
Theagenes of Corinth[edit]
Thegenes is huge.
He's already competed once in the Isthmusian Games in pankration, wrestling, boxing and throwing the stone. He has a chiselled body that has served as the model for a statue by a minor sculptor in Corinth and he is a fitness fanatic. This mindset of improvement colours all his interactions; he truly believes everyone is capable of betterment. He is tall with black curly hair and a short curly beard and a deep voice. He prefers to lead by example rather than fear and can shame a man into a duty just by looking sadly disappointed at him. While bravery is expected of troops under his command he is friends with the men and does not risk their lives needlessly.

Cleitomachos of Lemnos[edit]
If Theagenes has a touch of Heracles about him, Cleitomachos definetly has a whiff of Oddyseus. Middle sized, fit and brown haired, he has a twinkling eye and a ready smile. Like most men who are a bit smart he thinks he's a genius and cleverer than everyone else. He is a consummate gambler, story-teller and drinker.
