Weapon 1: a falcata
Weapon 2: a regular bow
Personality:
Calm and collected for the most part, but if he gets angry at a person he'll stop at nothing to take them down. He is a peaceful person, hoping that one day everyone may live in peace, but even so he understands that to get peace, one must fight wars. He has dedicated his life to this cause, and he won't stop without succeeding.
History:
During the first Punic war between Carthage and Rome, the Carthagianian judges came up with a most daring plan to try and defeat the still fledgling Roman empire. Sending an army to the east, they hoped to find an ally in Egypt, who could help them combat the rising threat that was Rome.
When the Carthiginian army arrived there, they found Egypt less then cooperative. Treating the carthaginian army as an anvasion force, Egypt prepared to fight. Being completely surrounded on all fronts, the then Carthaginian general in charge chose to break through the weakest link of the surrounding forces, which led them east, further away from Carthage. They succeeded in breaking through, and the Carthaginian general decided to keep on searching for potential allies, further east.
Hopes of finding an ally soon vanished, as the already weakened Carthaginian forces came across the Seleucid empire, whom had just conquered Palestina under command of Antiochus III. He ofcourse, wasn't pleased to find the Carthaginians closing in on his newly conquered city, and prepared to fight. Being split between three choices, go through Seleucid land, head back to Egypt or head further east, the Carthaginian general decided to head east. It was while being persued by the Seleucids that the general fell in battle, and Eshmunbaal, a sacred band member untill that time was forced to take command.
Seeing no other alternative then heading further east, the remnants of the Carthaginian army continued going that way, along the way forgetting about their past, as returning home no longer seemed an option.
