-Character Name: Lucius Murmillo

-What is your Race?: Dwarf (Cavern Dwarf sub-race)

-Biography: Lucius Murmillo was born in the great underground metropolis of Kal'Urguan, the third son of the third son of the great miner Sulla Murmillo. Raised in a tightknit family; Lucius is duitiful to his patriarch, and was ingrained with steadfast loyalty, courage and ferocity to match the most royal dwarven blood. His eldest brother Marcus is truely his father's son and said to be almost as good as Sulla himself when he was 100. His other brother Julius is a fine craftsman like many of the Murmillo House, with an eye to detail and knack for creating wonderous tools and armor. As for Lucius, he is the first Murmillo in three generations to have the "golden gaze" and there is an unspoken expectation from his family that he will amount to something special.

As the third son, the estates of the Murmillo family passes entirely onto the first two sons. As his father did before him, Lucius must strike out on his own, with only his name, work ethic and tradition to support him. He is not without a skillset, he was his father's favorite and as the third son he was sent to recieve a formal education. In spite of his worldly experiences, Lucius remains a cavern dwarf to the core, and he accompanied his father on every mining expedition whenever it was possible.

Lucius has just compleated a journey to the Cloud Temple of Aegis to place his family's yearly offering. Prior to his leaving, Sulla Murmillo was slain by what was claimed to be Undead in somewhat suspicious circumstances. Lead by the new Patriarch Pompei, and no living Murmillos of large renown the House Mermillo must once again make a name for itself. The future may be uncertain, but Lucius has set his golden gaze on restoring his family to prominence-and he will not fail.

-Character Age: 64, an able-bodied young adult dwarf

-Character Appearance: I'm slightly tall for a Dwarf, as most of ma family is. Ma father says our height stems from our greatness as one of the olde houses, but ma mother claims the extra inches were a necessity to hold in all of our stubborn pride. As cavern dwarves ma entire family has a powerful build, and I happen ta have the so called "golden gaze."

Wherever I go I wear the House Murmillo red and gold insignia on ma tabard - it keeps ya honest that way. Keeps the temptation ta do something orcish down 'cause it'd look bad on yer house's honor.

I wear the gold trim associated with the olde dwarf houses, and I keep ta our ancient family tradition of the masked hood. They say that many generations ago ma Patriarch Petros had twin sons, and one of 'em, Narssius, was as prideful as they come. He was a great hero, as long as there was someone to tell the tale, but he'd just as soon sit and drink mead if he didn't think the task would bring him fame-no matter the need. Ta teach him a lesson, Petros had all the males in the house wear a masked hood so no one could tell them apart. No matter how hard Narssius tried, he was unable to gain personal fame. He soon realized that his individual prowess was nothing compared ta his entire house, and learned that his strength lays in the stone and his house's collective honor or dishonor. Ever since, we still wear the hoods, and I rather like 'em. I don't need ma braids or white markings to boast- that's what ma tabard's for! Oh and have I mentioned the mask helps with the ladies? Heh my uncle Titus wears a mask on top of his mask- and he has seven sons!
