Personae
Born in the 1490s in the Duchy of Brabant, a young and restless Celestino fled a privileged life, seeking a sense of individuality and freedom. Life alone on the road is hard, and upon weighing his options, he found the prospect of glorious mercenary work to be quite romantic. Wielding stolen armaments he joined a muster of Landsknechte passing through and was recruited into their ranks. He went on to be employed within the ranks of a wealthier captain's staff.
