Hector is perhaps not so much a warrior as a belligerent force of nature, an aggressor among aggressors and a truly warlike man. Obsessed with combat and competitions, Hector defeated the strongest warriors of his native tribe before venturing further afield for more worthy foes, a pathway that inevitably took him, alongside many others of such an aggressive bent, to the “Holy Land” of gladiators – the Bloody Arena. The other warriors of Hector’s tribe had always spoken of the place in legendary tones, telling of its era of glory and the unequalled strength of the warriors there from across Aurelica. Regardless of the source of these stories, the sometimes ill-maintained Arena filled with desperados, slaves, exiles, and general lowlifes did not and could not live up to such glorious expectations. Hector finally arrived at Crisas after some time to discover a far more commercial and cost-focused organization than he had expected. A dream is a dream, however. Hector signed himself up, determined at least to conquer every challenger here as he had done for his own people. A new legend was born on that day, one in some ways more substantial than stories of the Bloody Arena’s might – for Hector soon after dominated all competition and made history as the Arena’s longest reigning champion!
