“Welcome to the Pirate101 Rogue’s Gallery. Subject, Samocles.
The mighty gladiator Samocles was born in the wealthy city of Thrace to a patrician family and a life of privilege. Samocles grew up expecting to enter the military like his father before him, and spent his days training in swordplay in hopes of one day fighting at his father’s side.
However, tragedy befell the family when his father vanished on a quest for the Golden Ram of Colchaea. Without his father’s earnings the family soon fell deeply into debt. Samocles refused to let the family be demeaned to a plebian existence however. Using his last few gold coins, he booked passage to Nova Aquila and entered himself into servitude as a gladiator of the Colosseum. His indenture price spared his family from poverty but lost him his freedom.
Some still claim the day Samocles entered the lists as the greatest contest the audiences of the Colosseum ever saw. Samocles triumphed time and time again and the day culminated with his defeat of a Manticore, a Storm Shark, and a wild Buffaloon in a single bout.
Samocles continued to earn acclaim and renown and grew ever more skillful as a fighter. He rose to the top rank of all gladiators and was finally deemed too valuable to risk as a combatant but would instead act as trainer to an entire cohort of gladiators. He no longer faced the risk of death in the Colosseum, yet strangely, he yearned for adventure. But it seemed that his dreams would never come true until one fateful day, a strange pirate released him from his service...
