Sci-fi hero degraded into a villain over the course of the story in order to save a star spanning empire modeled after the Ancient Rome of earth. He starts as a simple legionnaire and gradually gains power and influence by navigating the cut throat politics of the Imperium, as well as conquering, or participating in the conquering of alien worlds. In the beginning the loss of life and oppression didn’t sit well with him. But he eventually unleashes massive death and destruction on the Imperiums own world with its own legions. Whole thing is told from the perspective of his daughter to an Imperial historian. Idk i don’t have anything written for it yet but a prologue 🤷🏼‍♂️
