    Name: Lanius Lancaster
    Nickname: L
    Age: ~25 years old
    Special Item: Father's first piece of gold earned from his business (Father was not initially rich) -- Reminder that even from nothing, a great fortune can be made.
    Followed Gods: Metus

    Lanius was bright since the day he was born. He could talk just after his first birthday and could count to ten by the time he was two. His knowledge, however, was expected by many, as he was the child of a rich merchant father and a mother who's family had wealth for generations. His skill of number, when natural or unnatural, was only strengthened and qualified by his father's desire to have his son take his place some day. Lanius's father taught him from an early age to count, calculate tax expenses, and manage the number books. By the time he was 18 he had made various successful business ventures and had gained lots of wealth.

    At the age of 19 Lanius left his parents and bought a large estate elsewhere on the mainland. From here, Lanius managed all his investments and business venture like that of an emperor watching from his palace over his kingdom. Lanius accumulated great wealth and with this wealth, he hosted grand parties. He invited friends, family, neighbors, business partners, and anyone else that felt like joining in the party. As many know, with parties come wine... and did the wine flow! Lanius would drink heavily during these parties and get very drunk. This ultimately lead to his downfall. After a few drinks from one of his parties, a man asked him if he would like to go into a business venture with him. Lanius, unknowingly from his drunkedness, agreed. This man was not interested in a business venture, but instead all of Lanius's money. He had scammed Lanius and took all of his wealth. Lanius could not longer pay any debts that he owed and was forced to sell his businesses and his estate to pay them off. Lanius, with what money he had left, bought himself a ride to Elpida... the place of fame and fortune.

    Since Lanius had nothing left, he came to Elpida to regain his lost wealth and status. He hopes to create a large business and gain connections and business partners. Additionally, he is willing to go into politics, if that means bettering his social status and his personal wealth.
