Adiatun the Iberian was a Roman auxiliary attached to one of the three cohorts commanded by Marcus Scaurus during a "reconnaissance in force" in Gaul and was magically transported to the Empire of Videssos sometime in year Zero+1200. He commanded a group of slingers from the Balearic Islands. When Scaurus had a council with his officer to determine if the "Ronams" should sign on as mercenaries to Videssos, Adiatun was the most comfortable with the idea since, as a foreign auxiliary, he was already part way there.
