#569 – Midas Mysticus

Born 99 AD in Gordium, Midas is a magician who dazzled Rome with time-weaving illusions that he learned after stepping through an interdimensional portal to the 20th century AD. His final illusion to bury Emperor Commodus alive became fatal when the Praetorian Guard intervened, turning trick into true entombment.

About RomanPunks

“It’s AD 410, the Goths are sacking the city of Rome. A rift in the fabric of space-time occurs at the Temple of Jupiter Capitolinus. Suddenly multiple dimensions collide and coalesce. Time travelers and spacefarers exist alongside terrestrials who had previously lived thousands of years apart. The world is now a fractured patchwork of time and space with Rome at the center of it all. The world is now RomanPunk.”
