Marcus Bellecus

Note from personal journal
69A.D. My part in this last year of the events of my life seems like memory to me now. Simply, being in the right place at the right time to be conscripted into Servius Sulpicius Galba's Army to win back Tarraconesis then returning to Rome upon Nero's suicide to claim himself Caesar, while making his loyal army Roman citizens. A short seven months later he was dead and I found myself neatly out of work. Only to receive a invitation to enjoy a show at the still unfinished Coliseum, again only to find that I wasn't to enjoy from the stands. Entering the ring, I bested a large tiger and was sent on my way.
The next months are somewhat difficult to put into words. Suffice to say that I am now more than man. The society I have entered is one of both, history and power. They call themselves vampires and the clan is called Brujha.
Sent to the island of Minos to 'handle' a territory dispute we found and killed cow men on the north of the island, then found a very large 'leader' minotaur who challenged my Egyptian friend to a duel with freedom or 500 years of servitude. Agreeing the battle was close but in the end 500 years of servitude became guard my treasure, move it here to my estate in Pompeii. Which became...buried in ash for 300 years.
So now its 473...so hungry...
