Editing Vincentius, formerly of the Penal Legion

A character in [[Carceres_et_Dracones]]

==Biographical Info==
*Vincentius
*Male
*Age 24
*5'11"
*180 lbs.
*Black hair
*Brown eyes
*Olive skin
*Vincentius spent ten years in the Penal Legions, before an ostensibly honorable discharge.  He then realized he had no skills or inclinations whatsoever that would allow him to succeed as a civilian. Recoiling from poverty, he seeks to trade blood for gold. Someone else's, on both counts.
*He has a few notable scars, but is in general nondescript.  Vincentius disdains an ostentatious appearance, as he is often engaged in some pursuit mandating discretion.  He bears the brand of the Penal Legion on his right bicep.

*Bow & Arrows, 30

*His backpack & the rest of his funds being slung behind him on the saddle, and his extra armor being stored on one of the packhorses.
<br/>
When in-town and not necessarily expecting trouble:

If he should ever be reduced once more to marching in the wilderness, we'll see about using his padded tunic. Generally speaking, his excess equipment is stored on Plebeian, along with the party's strongbox.  The armor, strongbox, and other equipment on Plebeian are currently MAYBE around 1000, I'll calculate it more precisely as it approaches 2.5k and gets close enough to the poor beast's limit to be interesting.

== Plot Hooks ==

1.  See clay tablet in Gear: If ever you are in Fer Aquila, go to the Street of the Lampmakers and find Clodio's Tavern; you will know it by its crimson leather door. Take this tablet to a one-eared man by the name of L. Septimius Amabilis and tell him that two from the Falernian Grotto sent you. If he has need of you, he can pay you well in gold or whatever else you desire.
