Pallino of Trieste

A one-eyed (lost in the Battle of Argissa), forty-year active-service veteran of the Imperial Legions. One of the de facto captains of the myrmidon team in the Borosevo Colosso on Emesh; Later a Chiliarch of the Meidua Red Company and HADRIAN MARLOWE's bound armsman. Raised to patrician class.

—His father, AUBERNO, a plebeian farmer.

—His lover, ELARA OF EMESH, a local woman with a taste for the sarcastic.

“You were a legionnaire—a thirty-year man, was it?” I undershot the number on purpose. “You must be tired of this life!”

“Twice twenty years, and you know it, lad!” Pallino groused, pulling Elara closer. She yelped, and the old myrmidon proclaimed, loud and drunkenly, “I killed my first demon on Sulis!”

Elara swatted him. “Everyone knows, dear.”

“Killed forty of the Pale for His Radiance!” Pallino said to all who’d listen. He put an arm on my shoulder.
