| — Dantus, Swords and Sandals II: Redux | ||
Dantus was an Arena Champion introduced in Swords and Sandals II: Emperor's Reign.
| Marksman Dantus |
|---|
| Dantus rose to infamy in the early days of the Arena, being instrumental in helping HeChaos overthrow Doomtrek’s first inhabitants. He was a famed lothario and sleaze, being blessed with good looks and charm – but he also a ruthless commander and a vain man. It was rumoured he was the brains behind HeChaos’ Legion Of H – HeChaos himself being far too volatile to be a good military strategist. When Emperor Antares took over from HeChaos, Dantus was enslaved and forced to compete in the Arena games. He would escape with HeChaos mid tournament and go on to play a significant role in the Crusades, eventually being killed in battle by Xanfar The Haunted, a commander in Antares’ Death Imperium. -Tome of Lore[1]
