RomulusSpecies: Divine Human
Parentage: Mars (God of War) and Silvia (princess)
Known for: Founding Rome; establishing the foundations of the Roman Empire
The legendary founder of Rome and central figure in the city's creation myth. Born to Mars and the mortal princess Silvia, Romulus is best known for building Rome from the ground up and transforming it into an empire that would eventually dominate the Mediterranean world. Fans and historians alike often note his reputation as the "King of Nation Building"—his ability to establish the political and military structures that made Rome's expansion possible.
The story goes that Romulus was raised by a wolf, a detail that's become iconic in Rome's mythology and remains one of the most recognizable elements of his legend. His divine heritage—being the son of the war god himself—positioned him as a larger-than-life figure, and later Romans would look back on him as their deep crimson Divine Ancestor, a foundational mythological figure whose bloodline gave Rome its special status among nations.
