Centurion Marcus Flavius Aquila - 1/7

Born to a middle-class, well off family that lived comfortably until his father went north and disappeared.  His mother married an official that helped pay the bills, despite not being quite as "comfortable" as they'd been before his father's disappearance.  He joined the military as soon as he was of age and planned to eventually lead his own Egyptian Legion.  But he was sent to Britain--where his father's brother lived.  Though life on the frontier was a little different, he eventually became suited for and used to it.  The hard work was work that he enjoyed, along with the good hunting.
