Who is quintus

This article is a featured article , and considered to be one of the most informative on this wiki. The scientist of the Thirteen , Quintus Prime possesses a mind second to none. His idealism and perfectionist tendencies means that he frequently butts heads with the less imaginative members of the Thirteen. Something of a daydreamer, Quintus believes that life, in all its forms, is the most important thing in the universe, and that life should be encouraged to grow and thrive at all costs throughout the galaxy.

Accordingly, he wields the Emberstone , an artifact which can accelerate biological processes in base elements. Quintus was the tenth Prime created by Primus to fight against Unicron.

To defeat Unicron, Optimus Prime exposed his spark , its frequency almost identical to Primus's own, to Unicron's own Anti-Spark knocking both into stasis lock. Quintus subsequently used his Emberstone to awaken Optimus. After Unicron's defeat, Quintus drifted freely between the cliques formed in the group alongside Alchemist Prime and Optimus Prime. After Maximo revealed that Prima had been plotting how likely each member of the Thirteen was to be corrupted by Unicron's presence, it came to light that Quintus had worked alongside Maximo and Megatronus to create new robot beasts — Prima was suspicious of these beasts and ordered the three to shut down their "Farm".

A conflict broke out between the Thirteen over whether or not Maximo had the right to create new life — a conflict that eventually came to a head when Optimus demanded a full vote on the matter.

The vote came to a tie until Solus Prime voted against allowing Maximo to create new beasts. After Megatronus accidentally killed Solus, Quintus was among the members of the Thirteen that demanded that Megatronus be found and made to pay for his crime, but the group was surprised when Solus's dead body began to glow and melted an opening to the deep core of Primus, creating the Well of All Sparks.

That said, I still think Quintus will undergo a heel-face turn, revealing the power of grace. My guess is that he will be the officer in charge of the group of Roman and Jewish soldiers that Judas leads to Jesus John In this scenario, the impetus of his conversion would probably come when Jesus lays the whammy on the soldiers by declaring "I am.

But the power of the moment will shake his self confidence. The little hints of humanity that the show has been planting will pay off when he finally puts his faith in the Chosen. So, those are my predictions for the biblical roles that are being played by Quintus and Gaius. Like Matthew , they will end up mostly being misunderstood and hurt people who just need acceptance. Even Quintus, the show's villain, will be easy for viewers to forgive if his misdeeds continue to be constrained to general jerkiness and economic extortion.

But I could definitely be wrong there. I could also see a version of this story where Quintus doubles down in his wickedness as the season goes along and is never redeemed.

I guess we'll have to wait for The Chosen season two to find out more about what trajectory his character will take!

For the children of the chief native families he provided a school at Osca Huesca , where they received a Roman education and even adopted the dress and education of Roman youths, following the Roman practice of taking hostages. Late in his campaign, a revolt of the native people arose and Sertorius killed several of the children that he had sent to school at Osca, and sold many others into slavery.

It seems clear that he had a peculiar gift for evoking the enthusiasm of the native tribes, and we can understand well how he was able to use the famous white fawn, a present from one of the natives that was supposed to communicate to him the advice of the goddess Diana, to his advantage.

For six years he held sway over Hispania. Also that year, Pompey was sent to help Metellus conquer Hispania and finish Sertorius off. Contemptuously calling Pompey Sulla's pupil, Sertorius proved himself more than a match for his adversaries: he razed Lauron, a city allied to Rome, after a battle in which Pompey's forces were ambushed and defeated; he nearly captured Pompey at the battle of Sucro when Pompey decided to fight Sertorius without waiting for Metellus Pius; and Sertorius utterly defeated the united forces of Metellus and Pompey on one occasion near Saguntum.

Pompey wrote to Rome for reinforcements, without which, he said, he and Metellus Pius would be driven out of Hispania. Sertorius was in league with the Cilician pirates, who had bases all across the Mediterranean, was negotiating with the formidable Mithridates VI of Pontus, and was in communication with the insurgent slaves in Italy. But due to jealousies among the Roman officers who served under him and the Hispanians of higher rank who began to weaken his influence with the Lusitani tribes, and though he won victories to the last, he was assassinated at a banquet at Perpenna Vento's instigation in 72 BC.
