STATUS Believed blessed by a fire god, or perhaps descended of one. Never allowed near a torch in the gladiator barracks, but perpetually armed with one — and his choice of weapon — in the arena. He must cross through a wall of flames whenever he makes his entrance into the arena for a match, wearing fire-repelling wards. Far too many kids want to be him and ask his autograph.
