Ancient Rome - Third Samnite War 298 bce

A tall, rugged man in his early 40s with broad shoulders and an aura of command. His dark hair is streaked with gray, and his face is marked by scars from past battles. He wears a finely crafted bronze cuirass over a traditional Samnite tunic, and his cloak is fastened with a silver fibula bearing the symbol of Beneventum.

Tettius is a fierce yet pragmatic leader, combining the resilience of a warrior with the wisdom of a statesman. While deeply loyal to the Samnite cause, he recognizes the growing power of Rome and strives to position Beneventum as a resilient stronghold. Known for his decisive nature, he is equally respected and feared by allies and adversaries alike.

Born into a noble Samnite family, Tettius was trained from a young age in the arts of war and governance. His father, a respected warrior, instilled in him a deep sense of duty to his people. Rising through the ranks of Beneventum’s militia, Tettius earned renown for his strategic brilliance and unyielding loyalty during earlier clashes with Roman forces. Now as Chief Magistrate, he oversees the city during one of the most perilous periods in Samnite history.
