The men of the hard north had never seen anything like Magnus Maximus. A prodigy born of the most prominent military family in Hispania, his father had squandered their fortune before his sons had come of age. While his cousins lived the life of privilege, Magnus Maximus rose through the ranks of the western military apparatus the hard way, becoming known as the "Crusher of Rebellions". It was this reputation which saw him sent into the hard north to tame yet another heathen uprising. Had he been of noble intentions and moderate ambitions, it would have ended there. The problem was, there was nothing noble or moderate about what Magnus Maximus had planned. Tired of waiting to be rewarded for his service to Rome while his cousins achieved glory beyond measure, Magnus Maximus intended for his trip to Britannia to be the last time his empire took his contributions for granted. In time, he was certain that they would call him master.
