Name: King Leonidas
Rank: Commander

Known Information: A wise and stalwart commander, his men have the utmost respect for Leonidas and are loyal to his centuries-old leadership. Though he maintains unwavering strength and integrity on the outside, internally Leonidas struggles with the immortal bargain he and his men made, pledging their souls to eternal service in an ancient agreement with Ares, god of war, to protect humankind from every form of evil. He appeals daily to the Highest God, as he fears Ares is simply using them for mere playthings – the ultimate weapons for creating the war god’s only love: bloodlust.

Name: Ajax Petrakos
Rank: Captain

Known Information: Ajax is a disciplined and brave leader who fought more valiantly than any other soldier at Thermopylae. Before recently finding the love of his life, Shay Angel, Ajax had given up hope for happiness. He could often be found indulging in uncut wine, women and expensive clothing. Since meeting and marrying Shay, who became immortal to spend eternity with him, this hero’s focus has returned. He once again serves the Spartan corps with honor and distinction.

Name: River Kassandros
Rank: Helot Servant

Known Information: River was the first to step forward and accept the immortal bargain from Ares. He was renamed for the River Styx in honor of his rebirth. Servant to Ajax in life, he was bound to his master for all eternity during his baptism by fire. He can transform into any weapon that Ajax wishes to summon to battle, and he possesses the power of life and death.

Name: Aristos Petrakos
Rank: Lieutenant

Known Information: A jokester known for his impetuous nature, Ari is the glue that holds the Spartan brotherhood together. His wry wit and irreverent sense of humor provides the salve when morale runs low and the men are weary. As the middle brother between Ajax and Kalias, it’s clear he learned his diplomatic skills early on to broker peace between the flaring tempers of his headstrong brothers.

Name: Nikos
Rank: Lieutenant

Known Information: An aggressive and stubborn warrior, Nikos is known as much for his strength as his rudeness. However, it is suspected that his tough outer shell is only meant to push people away – keeping them from discovering his deeply buried private demons.

Name: Straton
Rank: Lieutenant

Known Information: Never one with words, Straton is a stoic fighter who has grown quieter with each passing century. At one time, he took great pride in his hair, as did all his fellow Spartans as a sign of strength. He now regularly shaves off his locks, preferring to go completely bald. With each battle, his heart darkens and he grows more brutal. Sometimes his fellow warriors wonder if his soul is completely lost.

Name: Kalias Petrakos
Rank: Captain

Known Information: A severe and forceful personality, Kalias is as different from his younger brothers as the moon is the sun; however, he does share their traits of intense loyalty and dependability.
