Legio II Speculatores
Unlike the other legions of the Atreshian Empire, Legio II Speculatores is not a conventional military force. It serves as the empire's elite intelligence and covert operations unit, responsible for a wide range of activities including but not limited to espionage, sabotage, and bodyguard duties for high-ranking officials.
The legion is currently led by Jenomis Lexentos, a secretive and progressive leader who was one of the first to accept non-humans into his elite force. Lexentos commands around 1,000 highly-trained operatives, each specializing in a specific area of expertise. The agents are known as "Speculatores," and their training extends well beyond standard military practices to include advanced combat, intelligence gathering, and specialized magical abilities.
While Legio II Speculatores has never been officially engaged in any major military conflicts, it has been instrumental behind the scenes. Its agents are rumored to have quelled internal disturbances, eliminated threats to the state, and influenced the outcomes of various internal and external affairs. Their activities remain shrouded in secrecy, often only known to the highest echelons of Atreshian government.
The unit has gained a fearsome reputation among the common folk. It's not uncommon for individuals who are actively inciting dissent to suddenly disappear. Even dangerous criminals have been known to vanish without a trace, fueling whispers and suspicion about the legion's activities.
Legio II Speculatores is headquartered in the capital city of Veriadena, where it maintains an official facility for public reports and administrative functions. However, the true extent of its operations is conducted from a secret base, the location of which is known only to a select few.
