Role

The Circus is where superhumans fight as gladiators before House Roman. The Drone is both curator and executioner: it keeps the spectacle from overflowing, separates fighters when needed and finishes off whoever is no longer useful. While it stands, no one leaves the arena without its permission.

The colors

It wears the livery of Centurion, the legionary who sacrificed himself facing Terminus. The House Roman that owns the Circus shares blood and symbols with Centurion, who came from the same Roman line.

Open questions

  • Why the drone bears Centurion’s colors — relic, profaned homage, or a sacred emblem corrupted in House Roman’s service — is unknown.
