Legatus

A Legatus is a high-ranking Roman military officer in the Roman Army and is considered to be the equivalent to a high ranking general officer in more modern terms. During the timeframe of TMS, the Legatus (or legate in English) is a feline who delegates power within the Roman Army's main structure. They hold power over their legion, but are often seen as a delegate of authority (aka a mouthpiece) to the Roman Consul.

The Legatus delegates duties to his commanding staff, who then carry out the orders. They are considered to hold one of the most respected ranks in Rome as they were drawn from among the senatorial class of Rome. The type of legatus that is in control of the Roman outreach in Crete is a Legatus Legionis, who is an ex-praetor (citation from hound needed) who was given command of one of Rome's elite legiions.

A legatus was entitled to lictors, (citation still needed) who carried out punishments.

Old Entry:

The Legate is the current leader of the Roman Legion that is occupying Crete, who happens to report back to Rome and the Consuls between battles. They are the main tactician of the army and will always march at the front of the line, slightly ahead of the signifer when heading out to battle or traveling. This character is an NPC mission giver for the Roman Army faction.
