Justin only really cares about one thing: getting the job done. How that is achieved is of no consequence to him. This gives him the distinct persona of a chessmaster tactician with the self-proclaimed ability to make tactical choices that none other would be willing to make. Sometimes that might mean putting himself in danger, and sometimes it might mean sending another to their death. It's all the same to Justin, so long as the mission is accomplished in the end. Despite such an icy and thorny exterior, Justin can also be surprisingly charming and silver-tongued when he needs to be. Those moments tend to be a facade more often than not, him treating it just another tool in his arsenal. At times it's downright impossible to tell what kind of man Justin really is, as it is often buried beneath layer after layer of masks, facades, and aliases.

[b]History:[/b] Born in Bruma as the son of Captain Belisarius Octavius of the Blades, Justin almost immediately found himself living in a dark shadow with impossibly big shoes to inevitably have to fill. His father was a stalwart military man, a former legionary before joining the Blades in search of a higher purpose. Belisarius's service to the Blades and to the Septim Dynasty was well known in the County of Bruma. But after receiving a crippling injury during the Oblivion Crisis, Belisarius had no choice but to hang up his blade and retire from service. When the Blades locked the gates of Cloud Ruler Temple, Belisarius relocated his family to the temple where he could see them protected while also overseeing the training of the fresh recruits. Even as a retired veteran of the Oblivion Crisis, Belisarius commanded respect and was still more than capable of barking orders to the new recruits. It was during this time that Justin was soon born, and was groomed almost from the start to eventually claim his father's place in the Blades. But growing up in isolation, Justin could look down at the town of Bruma, not allowed to actually venture down for a visit. He began to long for freedom and soon found himself arguing with his father almost constantly about the subject. Belisarius eventually grew ill however, and when he finally passed away, Justin saw not the death of his father but a chance to finally get his freedom. Over the course of his young adult years, Justin became increasingly jaded and cynical toward the cause of the Blades. He also began to think it foolish of them to just sit around and wait for a new Dragonborn Emperor, when the Empire needed them [i]now[/i]. So after his father's death, in a daring move Justin stole his father's sword and fled from Cloud Ruler Temple. He spent the next few years as a wandering vagrant, living mostly in self-sufficiency in the countryside while only occasionally paying the towns a visit where absolutely necessary, all while avoiding the Bruma area like the plague. Eventually he found himself in the Skingrad County, wherein he soon enough found himself in the employ of the Skingrad Company.[/hider][/center]
