Marcus Aquila Biography

   Marcus Aquila is Roman soldier who is a  Pilus Prior Centurion, head of the Gaulish Auxiliary Cohort. Son of the legion commander of the Ninth Hispana, he is arrogant like many Romans and had a harsh face. He also has a scar that showed he passed the Raven Degree of Mithras.
   He lived in Rome with his mother till she died and soon moved to his aunt's home. During that time, he despised his uncle who was a official while Marcus was a Equestrian. At age 18, he left and signed for centurion commission and was sent to Britain in charge of a Auxiliary Cohort instead of a line-of-battle group for the reasons that he wants to meet his missing father's elder brother and find the whereabouts of his father.
   Currently, he holds command of the fort of Isca Dumnoniorum in the frontier of Scotland.
