Flavius Hispanisis Drusus is the most recent and energntic son in the Drusus branch of the Livia Gens

Flavius is of paritally spanish decent, having part of his maternal branch be made up of spanish nobilty that was allied to rome during the Lusitanian wars of the last century. Also, his extended family owns realivly large tracts of land for growing olives and wine and as a result young flavius spent a large part of his youth in spain in contact with the celto-iberians

The Drusus clan always had a marital side to it, as Flavius's forefathers served with Scipio Africanius in his conquest of spain. The Drusus clan eventually founded a miltary colony in Hispania and began to intermarry and establish relations with the local aristocracy and tribes, not to mention aquirieing large tracts of farmland fort the cultivation of vines and olives.

Even after settling, the Drusus clan never lost their miltary character, supply military tribunes and auxilary spanish clavary formations for rome and occasionally serving as mercanaries in far flung places such as Judea. Flavius' ancestors, while of patrician stock, view the senate and the old patrican familes with supsicion, and as a result, sided with dicators such as Sulla and Marius, and most recently, Sentorius in his recent attempt to usrup the republic from his base in spain

In light of his proviental origin and the poltical actives of his clan, Flavius feels uncomfortable among the patricans in rome and in the senate and decided to enlist in the roman army as commander of a ala miltare of Iberian calvary.
