Backstory:
Maco grew up as a well educated youth in Roman controlled Palmyra, raised along with his sister, Bel, by an affluent philosopher-warrior father and a mother who worked as a master weaver. While his sister devoted her life to the sun god Helios, Maco became a soldier, joining the army of Odaenathus and distinguishing himself on the battlefield in Persia against the armies of Shapur I on the banks of the Euphrates and during the siege of Ctesiphon. When Odaenathus was assassinated by his own cousin, Maco pledged his loyalty to the new king, 10 year old Vaballathus, and his mother regent, Queen Zenobia.
Maco became Zenobia’s lover, following her on her campaigns in Roman Arabia, Egypt and Anatolia and fighting with steadfast courage. However, the Roman Emperor Aurelian did not appreciate Zenobia declaring herself an independent Queen, and sent his armies to suppress her. At the Battle of Immae, Zenobia’s army was decisively defeated. Fearing Aurelian’s retribution towards her brother and other high ranking members of the defeatet Palmyrene army, Bel Kishar invoked an incantation to open a dimensional portal, whisking her brother away in his sleep to an unknown place and time, where he would at least be able to fight on…
When Maco awoke, he found himself in a barren desert wasteland, lying half buried in the soft sand. Bewildered, he wandered for hours in the hot afternoon sun until reaching a small metallic hut. As he approached, a loud siren and flashing blue light activated, startling him. A floating black metallic orb emitted a purple light, scanning him from head to toe. Suddenly it produced a robotic voice in monotonous tone, “Subject unidentifiable, request delivery to slave camp TR-XV”. Then, the machine emitted a zapping sound, Maco felt a sharp burning sensation through his body and began to slip into unconsciousness…
