Vesuvicus

Vesuvicus was a fearsome Roman general, named after the mountain which he was born on. When not on the battlefield, he was in charge of training slaves in the art of gladiatorial combat. His method of training was considered to be incredibly cruel, but resulted in the best of results, as evident by the mastery of all 9 forms of combat by one of his trainees, Throaticus. Ironically, one of his skilled trainees would be the death of him, as he attempted to engage Spartacus and Throaticus in a duel during the Escape from Rome by the Throatcloaks. He was successful in mortally wounded Spartacus, but would be defeated by an enraged Throaticus. This defeat against a "mere slave" would spark an angry quest of revenge in the general against Throaticus, who he would duel several more times throughout the Throat Wars.
