Secutorus in Thornal, young newcomer, not highly fancied
1601
Turned out to be far more capable than expected, slew the experienced secutorus Leshan in a single pass, to the discomforture of the bookmakers.
Went on to a glittering career, travelled to New Tellare to fight for Surya in a special exhibition, retired a freeman in 1634, tempted back for one last fight in 1647. A packed arena of spectators come to see the living legend fight was not enough to roll back time and he was killed.
