The House of Batiatus is on the rise,
basking in the glow of its infamous champion Gannicus,
whose skill with a sword is matched only by his thirst for wine and women.
These are the times a young Batiatus has been waiting for.
Poised to overthrow his father and take control, he’ll freely betray anyone
to ensure his gladiators are in the highest demand. And he’ll have his loyal
and calculating wife Lucretia by his side for every underhanded scheme,
drawing on the brazen talents of her seductive friend Gaia when it counts.
Together, they will stop at nothing to deceive the masses, seize power,
and bleed Capua dry in this audacious prequel to “Spartacus: Blood and Sand.”
Bold and impulsive where his father is restrained and conventional, Batiatus
has newly come to inhabit his family’s ludus while his father is away attempting
to regain his health. Wishing to seize more for himself and rise beyond his
father’s station, Batiatus, with his wife Lucretia ever by his side
fueling his ambitions, schemes beyond his reach.
Lucretia is her husband’s foundation, always supportive of his dreams,
however wild the direction they threaten to grow. Though conscious of the role
she’s expected to play as a proper Roman woman, through the ideas she and her
husband cultivate she will discover that when the moment most needs it,
she has a true talent for maneuvering the levers of power.
A true physical specimen, fearless in the arena and possessed by a thirst for the
fleeting pleasures of life, Gannicus is the gladiator a girl’s mother doesn’t want
her to bring home. Newly promoted to the top position at Batiatus’ ludus,
Gannicus is best friend to Oenomaus and his wife Melitta,
forming an unlikely triangle of loyal friendship.
Oenomaus is not far removed from the status of top gladiator at the House of Batiatus,
having only recently survived his fight with the legendary Theokoles. He longs to
return to the sands of the arena and reclimb the peak he feels is rightfully his,
but he is yet a slave like so many others and bound to the notions of his masters.
A longtime friend of Lucretia, Gaia arrives unannounced in Capua, bringing along her
taste for certain vices. On the prowl for a new husband, endowed with beauty,
sexual adventurousness and an artful mind, she lends her assets to the
cause of her friends, stoking their schemes.
Personal slave to Lucretia and wife to Oenomaus, the lovely and dedicated Melitta
struggles to balance the small portion of freedom she's attained within the villa.
Subjected to the careless whims of her masters, she finds herself caught up in a web
of desire and betrayal that threatens to tear apart her fragile place in the world.
Father to Batiatus, Titus is frail and ill of health yet still looms large as a
commanding, paternalistic voice of discretion in his son's life. A man of tradition,
Titus is a proud master of gladiators who is devoted to the old ways and disapproving
of his son's departure from them. When the audacious initiatives of Batiatus and
Lucretia create conflict, it threatens the house he's given everything to build.
Tullius is the man that Batiatus would like to be. He sits at the head of Capua's
elite class, steeped in money and rank and fearing no other's ambition.
This is the man who holds the proverbial keys to the kingdom and he has no interest in
loosening them from his grip without extracting a painful cost from those beneath him.
A newly purchased recruit enlisted into Batiatus's gladiator school, Crixus revels in
the opportunity put before him, to become a gladiator, to reap the glory that he's
always longed for. But to attain it, he'll have to start at the bottom of the
gladiator food chain and fight the titans above him.
Having just arrived with the new batch of recruits, Ashur is swept up in the grueling
fight to survive and prove himself worthy enough to secure standing as a gladiator.
When it quickly proves difficult for him to advance on pure physical ability alone,
he must call on his more devious gifts to ensure his place.
The future rival of Batiatus, Solonius is a friend, trying to do what he thinks best
in attempting to navigate a path between Batiatus's bold enterprises and his own
position at the foot of Capua's elite powerbrokers.
Barca is one of the most accomplished gladiators in the Batiatus stable, prized by
his master for his prowess inside the arena and his skill and discretion in the service
of less noble missions outside of it. Despite the brutality of a gladiator’s way of life,
Barca exhibits a capacity for deeper feeling rare among his brethren.
Vettius is a young upstart lanista benefitting from the patronage of the powerful Tullius.
This relationship enables him to fight his gladiators in the best position in the games,
to the exclusion of Batiatus' gladiators. Vettius' proximity to Capua's influential class,
and his unearned posture of superiority, makes him a target of Batiatus' ambition.
Naevia, destined to become Crixus' passionate love, is just emerging into womanhood and
will soon learn that the position of a female slave is a delicate one, vulnerable both
to her masters' bidding and the random turn of fate.
