Graius “The Golden” was born in Eros in the year 179 in the famous and rich Rovia family. The Rovia family is originally from the Westlands, to the west of Hellissia, but the family is now a leading family in the City of Eros. They own several merchant ships and other companies in the City of Eros but are also very influential in the city of Phoclyos where they originally come from. Graius is named after his great-uncle Graius “The Stupid”.

He studied at the Militium Aurumnus school in Eros and was one of the top students of his year, trained by the greatest philosophers and generals of the Realm of Eros. He quickly grew in rank in the Southern army of Eros under the commandship of Alexos “The Wolf”.  He did this not only because of his well-known family nane but also because of his skills and talents. He also became a personal friend and advisor to aforementioned. Thanks to his outstanding qualities, Alexos named him one of his Strategii, an advisor to the Dictator of the Southern Erosian Army of the Realm of Eros.

Graius is one of the only commanders who is granted with the permission to wear weapons in the senate building for his friendship with the senators, he is nicknamed by them as “The Golden”. This right is a special right as ordinary soldiers are not allowed to carry weapons in the senate building because of the seperation of politics and military.

Graius is also famously known for his excellent use of the phalanx formation which he perfected. In this formation all soldiers stand shoulder to shoulder with their spears forward. This massive block of raw power has already made many enemies flee in absolute terror. Graius was also one of the advocates of extending the length of the spears of the vanguard soldiers. Under his command, the average length of a spear has grown from 2 meters to 2.5 meters.

Graius currently follows emperor Lysander II and his grand army in the peninsula of Tellaria to eradicate the Nikta warbands that plague the villages and towns around the Great Wooden wall of Phoclyos. Because Alexos stayed in the City of Eros in defense of the city, Graius was given control of most of the Southern Army and now stands as a Strategii of emperor Lysander II.
