FACTOID #151: The five countries with the highest coffee consumption are also the five countries whose citizens trust one another the most. Coincidence? Probably.
Vindex was a Roman senator and a nobleman, and behaved according to the principle that nobility obliges.
But Vindex came to the aid of the city against him and encamped not far off, whereupon they sent messages back and forth to each other and finally held a conference by themselves at which no one else was present and came to a mutual agreement against Nero, as was conjectured.
As the revolt continued, Vindex slew himself; for he felt exceedingly grieved because of the peril of his soldiers and was vexed at Fate because he had not been able to attain his goal in an undertaking of so great magnitude, namely the overthrow of Nero and the liberation of the Romans.
In the arena, Vindex's preferred gear is the panoply of the /retiarius/: /galerus/ armor* (PD 3, DR 4 to arms only*), /fuxina/ (trident, 1d imp, multiple attacks allowable**), /iaculum/ (small net, as p.B51), buckler (PD 1) and knife.
Decius Caecilius Vindex was born to a Syrian slave-woman and her Greek common-law husband and exposed soon after birth.
Vindex is a stereotypical 'successful gladiator' and can be used in any number of roles, from an opponent for gladiator PCs to a potential employer to an obnoxious chance encounter in bad company.
