Well just checked your backgrounds, or lack there of, and the first question is where did you two come from. Here is what I have for my background so far: (Woefully incomplete and I probably went overboard)
Mercutio Tullius was born of a love developed between an Elven Cavalry Commander and a Human commoner. He was trained from a young age in the ways of cavalry command and military tactics. By the age of 20 he led his own stand of heavy cavalry. He was sent home to take care of his mother after news of her illness reached the frontlines. He tried to stay and fight by his father’s side but he eventually bent to his father’s will and headed home. It was during this time that Kadmos lured the Elven Legio into a valley by having them chase what appeared to be the battered, last remnants of his army. Thus baited, the humans trapped the Elves in the valley from both ends, slaughtering the host until the remainders surrendered. His father was not among the survivors. When news of the Legio’s defeat reached the Republica Aeternum chaos ensued. His mother passed that same night. The cleric was unsure if she’d passed due to the illness or a broken heart. Her last words to her son were, “Stay true to yourself, and what you believe in.”
During the battle that claimed Kadmos Nikitis’ life my own unit was similarly cut off and surrounded on a different front. We managed to get to a defensible position, but after waves of enemies we were on our last leg. As we prepared to make our final stance, building fortifications around our dead companions in an effort to slow the enemy I snapped. In open defiance of the carnage that was happening I said to hell with this and attempted to draw every ounce of strength from my god for an answer, however what happened was unexpected. Machidoxia, the god of war, turned her back on me and Kora, the god of death, answered my prayers. Somehow my dead companions were summoned back into fight. The act broke the enemies’ moral instantly as they turned tail in full retreat. My companions never looked at me the same again after that. After hearing of Kadmos’ demise I took the opportunity to resign from my position and find my own way. A handful of my men followed.
