Gaius Marius was the stoic and the feared leader of the Teutonic Order. As the Hochmeister he had a great burden atop of his shoulders but he had dealt with it well. It was under Marius that the Teutonic Order carried out some of their largest operations, including several invasions of Al'Khazar. After King Enor Sheffield of Oren stepped off the throne he chose Marius as his successor. This controversial move was opposed by the Phoenix Revolution, who captured the capital city of Oren, Galahar. After negotiations between Marius and the Phoenix leader Eze'kiel Tarus it was decided that Oren would be split, with Marius ruling the Realm of Hanseti in the east and Tarus ruling the Kingdom of Renatus in the west. Marius ruled in the Realm of Hanseti until he passed away peacefully on Sabet, 14th of Malin's Welcome, 1343.
Early History
Gaius Marius grew up in a small town at the eastern fringes of Oren, fraught with constant threats from banditry and highwaymen. Upon his coming of age, Gaius Marius sought an end to the threats and a beginning to reform. Joining his father's militia, he quickly sought to reform the rag-tag band into a real fighting force that could put an end to the lawlessness that enveloped the valley he was raised in. However, while this won him popularity with his men and the townsfolk, his efforts were in vain. His father was vengeful and ordered attacks against many of the towns that had raided them before, with these attacks only growing stronger in brutality and weaker in motivation as time went on and the man's greed grew. Disgusted by this, and fearing that their troops' lives would be lost in vain pursuits of gold, Gaius led a mutiny and slew his own father. Reforming the militia upon coming to power, Gaius Marius became the first Hochmeister of the Teutonic Order.
Phoenix Revolution
Towards the end of King Enor's reign, the Phoenix Revolution, a diverse coalition of adventurers, soldiers, historians and many important political and military figures from Oren, began with the intent to overthrow the Sheffields rule and put a Eze'kiel Tarus in charge of Oren. In a move that shocked all, King Enor, fearing the revolutionaries, voluntarily handed the crown to Gaius Marius before fleeing the country. In response, the revolutionaries seized Galahar. After negotiations and talks between Gaius Marius and Eze'kiel it was decided that a biumvirate would be formed, with Gaius Marius ruling the Realm of Hanseti in the east and Eze'kiel ruling the Kingdom of Renatus in the west.
