Aquilus / Octavius

Aquilus used to be named Octavius until he got an injury in battle so he ran away and changed his name to Aquilus to avoid being executed. He is the main character from Matthew Dooley's "Sword of Crotone". He was spoke to by Vulcan that he must find the magic sword at Crotone. He was also told that Valentias will try to follow him, kill him, and take the sword for himself.

Aquilus dresses like any other soldier in 117 A.D. He wears a toga and a gold medallion. He also wears a winged helmet. He is shown to be very strong as a horse trampled him and a chariot landed on him with him surviving. Near the end Valentias chops off his hand before falling into the bottomless pit. He becomes a god at the end and becomes taller.
