Men are quick to judge each other. It is the nature of life to measure itself against its surroundings. Such judgements lead to many things: pride, fellowship... and hate. Such things give the spark to life, but so too do they blur ones' eyes when judging one's own actions... Life becomes a struggle, what one sees around himself, against something less clear: what he sees within. Both the finest and the worst aspects of man are born in such struggle, and ofttimes the line betwixt the great and the foul blurs... Though it is not for me to judge Caius, I may only present his words and deeds. Look upon them, and judge him if you wish. Perhaps your sight remains untainted... |

Retreat, No Surrender: Atalanta, Caius, Claudius, Versus, (Marvelous Emits
by Anubis, Nox, and Theron)
The Antoninus family traces its proud roots back to two brothers; Praetorians
in the armies of Zeus Jupiter himself. From these two has been handed down both
the familial emblem, and the motto of the Antonines. Of these brothers, the
older found an honorable death in battle, while the younger survived only to
shame his father by taking a Darkling bride. The sons of this brother, Quintus
Dorian Antoninus, inherited both a legacy and a curse. The oldest son of the
oldest son carries the name Quintus to this day, but all his children carry the
emberassment of tainted blood. For many generations, the Antoninus family was
limited to service among the Velites, only re-entering the ranks of the
Servitors 300 years ago. The impure hue of the family's wings has lightened over
time, but old blood runs the strongest and over 200 generations later, it
endures in Quintus Augustus Antoninus, the Elder. He and his wife Octavia Hubris
had three sons. The eldest was Quintus Augustus, the second was the ill fated
Casca Tiberius, and the third was Caius Germanicus. Years after these three, a
daughter was born to the Centurion and his wife: Octavilla Belona. Though blood
might run more pure through other veins, it is a point of pride to this family
that the Empyre will know no defenders more loyal than those of House
Antoninus.
