Lord Tarquinius Galantius I

Rise to Power
In the, war was abundant. Having been in a local militia for years, he gained some experience and support from the locals. Years later from a local militia it grew to a medium army. Of course they weren't as well equiped as the state armies. Then one day Tarquinius had an idea, contraction of war. Having the resources to do so he immediately turn his army to a gear of war. To some he was a war criminal, but to others a hero.

For years as he was fighting in wars his fortune did too. Within a decade from a small time warlord he became a known political figure. Most leaders would even seek his advice before attacking. It was a dream few people could achieve within a short time perioud during that era.

Betrayed
Of course having this much power

Personality
Tarquinius was always known for his agressive behaviour. Despite that, he is well liked by his soldiers but hated and feared by his enemies. He had a widely sucessful military campaign with only one defeats but still managed to spring back.
