Character Outline

Auctus was tall and pale-skinned, though not nearly as tall as Barca. While he is cold-hearted to the recruits in the ludus, Auctus frequently displays a gentler side with regards to his relationship with Barca and the birds that live with them in the ludus. He demonstrates great skill with a spear in the arena, making him a hoplomachus. Titus acknowledges Auctus as one of the most highly skilled gladiators in the ludus. He is ruthless and cunning in combat.
