The figure used for this unit is the Shifter Claw Adept miniature from D&D's Against the Giants.

Character Bio: Priscus spat on the ground as the nervous guards passed by. Everything was drowned out by the sudden, roaring applause of the arena crowd. Another gladiator must have met a gruesome death. Priscus' mind drifted back to his village in Germania, where the inhabitants were rumored to be the descendants of savage wolves. Fierce was the battle when Romans stormed his village; he was captured by legionnaires after a horse fell on him, cheating him of his glorious death. It also spared him of having to witness the bloody destruction of his outnumbered friends at the hands of the efficient Roman Legion. Waking to find himself in chains, he was sent to the gladiator pits, where he made a name for himself as a deadly fighter, especially skilled with his bare hands.

A nervous prod from the nearest guard brought him back to the present. As the doors opened, the crowd's roar reached new heights. Standing, Priscus curled his hands into fists and strode through the door. Time to kill more Romans.
