.:Personality:.
When he first arrives at the ludus he appears to be insecure but his desire to be a Gladiator is clearly evident. Having been mocked by Barca and Auctus, he keeps his head down and gets on with his training. He has huge respect for Gannicus and vows to be like him and earn the mark. As he grows in skill, he also grows in arrogance. Despite his arrogant demeanor, his reasons for fighting remain to honor the memory of his family.
He relishes in the life of a gladiator, fighting for glory and honor in the arena and expects the same of other gladiators, treating those that don't with contempt.
.:Special Skills:.
After his training, however, Crixus grew in skill and prowess very quickly and soon began to outclass many of the other gladiators to the point where he would become the Undefeated Gaul and once held the Champion of Capua. This title is not earned lightly. Crixus has proven himself as one of the greatest warriors to have ever stepped foot in both the arena and the battlefield. He relies on brute force and more grounded attacks as opposed to others, such as Spartacus and Gannicus, who rely more on nimble movements that often elevated them above their enemies. Nevertheless, he does not lack in athleticism and is incredibly fearless.
Crixus prefers to use a shield/sword combo, and often starts a fight by literally jumping into his enemy's, throwing them onto the ground and breaking the Romans defensive line.
