Rome

Rome was a dog that belonged to Aerius. He was a mutt, appearing to have some sort of husky or shepherd ancestry.

Aerius denied ownership of the dog, but did work alongside him. He fed the dog and the dog fought for him, and hunted for him. In some way, he did appear to have cared for him a great deal.

When it was discovered that Aerius was illegally keeping a hound for himself, Rome's death was ordered by Caesar as punishment. Acanthus was ordered to skin the dog alive, as a means to also punish him- as he was seen as responsible for Aerius in some capacity, since they came from the same tribe.

Rome was a vicious and incredibly loyal dog, faithfully bound to his master, and dangerous to all who were not him. He was an incredibly large dog.

Rome's death had a heavy impact on both brothers, but far more on Aerius than Acanthus.

Trivia

 * Rome had a litter of puppies at some point. His children are Quill, Pike, Cusi Inti and an unnamed son who remained with Aerius.


 * Some time after his death, Acanthus returned his pelt to Aerius and attempted to apologize for his participation in the act- even though they both likely understood he had no choice, and had to do as he was ordered.
