Gaius Maledictus

Gaius is an eighteen-year-old student of architecture in Rome from some village in Britannia. Unruly flame-red hair bursts from the the top of his head, in contrast with the alabaster white of his skin.

Gaius exhibits all the critical awareness of a student of limited means, high intelligence and little sympathy toward authority. He has taken it upon himself to "inform" the public of the dark underside masked by the gleaming marble of Augustus' building program. He has left notes at various locations as part of his program. (These are more or less coherent, depending on how Gaius spent the previous night.) As he jostles past you, with what sounds like a murmured "irru......!", you notice blue tattoo-like designs reaching up his neck from under his garment.
