I like it how Jeremiah is a pure support character and all of his men are slaughtered like pigs :-(

I'm a bad support class...
Two bits come to mind:
I am reminded of deadman wonderland, which would be fun to play in this prison scenario.
I want to either create my own faction or remain independent but I can't make up my mind because Manuel is a violent and short-tempered asshole who is the most well known arena fighter in the prison. If someone could stay independent it would be him, but I don't want to make a typical mary-sue. Mamaging a faction is too much for Manuel, and he wouldn't be anybody's bitch as a part of a faction.

Could you help me out here?
@Prince of SeraphsThere was talk of you deciding who goes in what cell and what are the factions and who is in which. I recommend you take the time until we start the game to make this whole topic much more clear and straightforward. There were several propositions, me included, to create factions in prison. I recommend factions similar to what real prison is like - with race/ethnicity/culture/language/religion as the deciding factor but you can turn it on its head and make it so that certain factions only accept metas with certain types of superpowers.
By the end of Jeremiah's watch the world decided to spin, turn and spit back at the Templars stationed in and around the castle. It was a cruel joke, a twist of fate none besides the most cynical could have foreseen. They had all gathered there to discuss fighting something new, Jeremiah wasn't privy to what, exactly, was discussed, but it seemed to him that his curiosity was sated when the camp was attacked. A great many of the Templar forces gathered that night, and it was a perfect opportunity to wipe them all out, the devil's advocate would claim, and he wasn't wrong. By the time Jeremiah had abandoned his overrun post and ran back to the tent of his men the camp was rudely awakened by fire and devils. The armies were at a disarray, fighting broke out as each man took arms to defend themselves. Templar turned against templar in the confusion, and blood stained the dirt. Jeremiah could not bear to see it any longer. He aided men along the way, fighting their battles with them, and dragging them with him. He could not find Gipper, but Cork who was already dressed to replace Jeremiah at the watch was fighting nearby, and Fenrin was not took far off.

It was then that the skies were lit up with three lightning bolts, which was the only remote sign of good news the whole night. Jeremiah lead his men away, fighting through disguised cultists and infernal demons. Templars were killed while more took their place as the force cut its way to the lightning bolts. Jeremiah used his magic to unify and shield them from the horrors about them. He casted a powerful spell to cal their minds when a massive figure appeared in the sky, breathing green flames, revealing itself to be a dragon. He rallied his men and continued southwards, when he reached what seemed to be the location the sparks originated from. It was swarming with an army of cultists lead by a terrrifying demon, with no other Templars in sight.

Jeremiah rallied his men, casting another spell to lift their spirits and prepare them for the assault - the men stood together, shield by shield, and when Jeremiah's sword lit up in flames and spilled light all over the battlefield the group of Templars charged at the disorganized force as it wassearching the area.

"Fight for the man at your right", Jeremiah hollored at the men following him, "fight for the man at your left", they charged forward with their swords drawn, "and for your own lives, FIGHT!".
@TheUnknowable You can ask me that privately if you want. You might not even need to use it. His backstory is pretty straight-forward. He was a gutter-child till his early teens when he was kidnapped and used in an arena blood-sport for the entertainment of the obscenely wealthy. Lots of traumatic events to pick from.
@Apokalipse Manuel likes Elizaveta... Bring on the Pain!
@TheUnknowable Y'know, that's probably one of the few effective ways of taking Manuel out of the picture. If you hit him, he will like it, and he'll just keep coming for more.
@Prince of Seraphs I'll admit Manuel is at a natural disadvantage against most meta prisoners in such a fight, but I'm certain that his experience will put him on top of a surprising amount of seemingly powerful meta fighters. He has the experience of literally hundreds of fights in the arena - he doesn't need to rest in between fights, and he had been there for over four years - so he can beat the crap out of newbies that can't handle themselves under pressure. Besides, Manuel likes the pain - it makes him fight even harder. He can be the punching bag, but he can also pack quite the punch (that doesn't sound right, does it?).

@Vetis Sure, but the power-dynamic between the two characters' personalities will be weird.
@Prince of Seraphs Thanks for the introduction.

@Everyone Since there are possibly 4 prisoners per cell, who wants to be in the same cell as Manuel, the guy who's been in the joint for over four years and a decorated veteran of the meta fighting arena? His power is extreme regeneration, and he's a walking mountain of muscle. He faced off against many meta-prisoners in duels over the years and has much combat experience. He doesn't belong to any faction, but he's a well-known prisoner himself, who looks after his "people", the few that manage to stick around and keep him calm.

* A question for the GM - can I assume that Manuel is used frequently in the arena to test out new metas, because of his meta ability? Can I also assume that because of that, Manuel has some renown and influence in the prison, extensive combat experience and possibly the first meta most new inmates encounter in the facility (when they're tested in the arena)?
