Gladius is a simple Man, like any other Gorean Man. He stands about 60 horts tall (6'3"), 55 stones strong (220 lb). Dark black hair, brown eyes. Dark toned athletic built body. By nature He is very Dominant. A skilled warrior who uses His skills only when needed or when He is paid to use them. Other Goreans know Him as a fierce mercenary, but He thinks of Himself as a simple Man.

A mercenary is essentially a warrior who fights for money. They generally do not fight for a Home Stone or even honor. Most mercenaries on Gor are little more than armed thugs or cutthroats. It is often tough or even dangerous to try to control such men. They must be assured of receiving ample loot and promises of booty are a major inducement for recruitment. A silver tarsk a month for a hired sword is a high price for such a man. Many would not receive such a wage. Their strategy and tactics are more indicative of organized brigandage than sound military theory. They do not wear uniforms though they might wear armbands, scarves, ribbons or plumes of certain colors to identify their employer. These though can be easily discarded or changed during a battle. Some have been known to turn on their employer.
