Curator Vipsanius

A White Legion curator (overseer) of history, noted for his treatises on Evocati religious practices, the nature of the state, and in-depth histories of the Crusades, the Dawn Wars, and details of the truly ancient world recovered from digs throughout the galaxy.

History
Born to the Kiira-Nerun enclave occupied by the White Legion, Vipsanius was an average fighter but a keen mind with a head for details and memory. He served as optio to his company's leader eighteen years instead of the traditional fifteen before being allowed to pursue secondary training as a curator of the legion's vast history archives. Organizing the raw data, which ranged on everything from ancient texts to radio recordings, he revolutionized recall of data and updated the system of backups to ensure that all knowledge could be preserved against disaster. It was during this work that the then-young Evocatus began compiling what he believed to be histories of the most pertinent things in history. He is known as the pre-eminent Evocati historian and while never an especially good fighter or speaker, an excellent tactician and strategist.
