Gnaeus Sallustis is the Grand Master of the order of Basilean Paladins. His appearance on the battlefield is bad omen for the enemies of Basilea, as no army he has lead has ever lost a battle. He rides into battle atop his gigantic Basilean lion, Nakir, cutting swathe through the enemy ranks to reach his ultimate objective, a final confrontation with the enemy general.
Supremely pious and devout, yet a terrifying warrior and cunning tactician, Gnaeus epitomizes every aspect of what it means to be a Paladin. It would seem his life was destined for a higher calling, because he is the offspring of the extremely rare union between man and Elohi. Gnaeus’ father, Valnar, was a paladin of great renown and was rumored to actually be a descendant of Oredorus himself.
From a young age, Gnaeus often claimed to be granted visions by the Shining Ones in his dreams. His Elohi mother encouraged him to follow his dreams, which eventually lead him to join the order of Paladins when he was only 12. As a novice, Gnaeus showed uncanny talent and piety beyond his years. He was the youngest novice ever to be sent on an initiation quest at the age of 14. He was immediately sworn as brother and became a full paladin when he returned from his initiation quest riding a young Basilean Lion.
Gnaeus is outspoken and often at odds with the Hegemon, in particular on matters related to war. Gnaeus believes it is the Basileans’ purpose to only seek out and destroy the Wicked Ones and their minions. He outright refuses to participate in aggression that is not directed against ‘Evil’ races and despises the politics of the capital. The Order of Paladins hold Gnaues in the highest regard and Gnaues has been known to use the influence of the order to sway political decisions that he felt where unrighteous or self-serving.
On occasion, Gnaeus undertakes personal and secretive quests where he disappears for months or even years. He claims these quests are granted to him directly by the Shining Ones and serve their purpose only. No one really knows where he goes and what he does on these mysterious ventures, but many Basilean priests believe the Shining Ones are using Gnaeys to pursue their agenda of becoming re-unified with the Wicked Ones. These whispers have earned Gnaues more than one enemy in the priesthood and other politically-minded individuals who do not want to see the status quo disrupted.
