Rumours

Last updated: 08.01.2020

Some of these rumors are untrue, speculation, or are greatly exaggerated.

Common Rumors - Easily overheard
"When the Agrius crashed, so did our hopes. I wanted to run away from the chaos. The ceruleum vapors were spreading all around, our brothers' ripped limbs were everywhere, and we had just lost our main ship with our Centurio inside... But Lysander -- he was the Optio at the time. We were fighting on the grounds and he -- he just organized the century like the loss meant nothing. I think a lot of us would have given it all up if he hadn't step forward to lead us back to Ala Migho to regroup with the rest of the Legion. All the way back through the Shroud, our troops got harassed by some nasty beasts; some of our brothers fell into a secondary state, subjugated by some uncanny figure in the lightning storms. It was hell -- none of us was ready. But we made it. And we owe it to that man."- A Pilus Prior at Castrum Vesperum's cantina

"His first campaign was Dalmasca?! No wonder he's fucked up in the head. I heard it was a massacre there. 70 000 death in both sides. Maybe that's why he has no respect for our lives."- A bitter legionarus at Castrum Vesperum

"Do you know why he's always wearing a helmet? I heard he got pretty damaged after Carteneau. His face must be a wreck, that's why!" - A petty officer at the cantina.

"The Praefectus is never wearing anything but his armor, isn't he? Have you ever seen him sleep? Or eat with the others? No? Then hear me! The man must be a prototype machine developped by a team at the capital..." - a gossiping architectus.

"Heard the last time The Praefectus took off his armor, his sex-appeal was too much to handle and everyone couldn't focus on their job properly, so he had to put it on again. You don't believe me! That's your loss. I don't think the man is married!" - A mischievious legionarus at the barracks

Uncommon Rumors - A little more difficult to hear.

"...that's when Lysander told me to line up the civilians in the middle of the village. Yeah, we knew some of them were part of the rebels, but... It's a thing to kill an armed soldier, it's another to have one of these kids looking at you with their big teary confused eyes... Lysander told us to execute them because they rebeled against the Empire, that it was an imperial mandate. I don't know how he can keep his calm about these things. I don't think he ever had kids. When I told him that later, do you know what he answered? He said... If we had allowed these civilians to go, allowed these...these kids to grow up...one day, one of them... One would find enough strenght in hatred to summon an Eikon and wreak havoc on our lands."- A weary centurio in Castrum Vesperum

"Wasn't his brother murdered by some savage? I remember it because her name was the same as his. Gladio. Isn't that strange?" - Legionarus at Castrum Vesperum cantina

Rare Rumors - Very rarely overheard.
"I've never seen him fight since the Battle of Carteneau. Heard he was discharged before coming to Castrum Vesperum. They probably put the old man here because they didn't know what to do with him anymore. Why doesn't he just retire already..." - Mikaelis fae Gladio

"After Carteneau, half of his body was rebuilt with magitek augmentations. That's why he's always wearing armors." - Maximilian kir Gladio

"A war hero, heh? Oh, but did he told you what the Praefectus did in the Black Shroud? Was he even there?! The Praefectus...when one of my friend started to get delirious... He thought it was some savage's curse, a powerful contagion or something. So he took his bloody shield and bashed my friend's skull opened. And he did that every time one of us would start losing their shit during the storms. You still think he's a hero now?!"- An angry veteran soldier at the cantina
