$BNS S. Thompson of BNS — as Mithridates VI, King of Pontus reborn
— a man of extraordinary strength and indomitable will.
After triumphs both in the hunt and in the field, he brings home the spoils — the symbol of his conquest — as Mithridates once brought a lion’s carcass to Sinope. Like the ancient king, he wears the lion’s pelt upon his head, its paws falling to his shoulders, invoking Heracles himself — the hero who defied gods and fate alike.
In the shadow of empire, where deceit and ambition coil like serpents, Scott Thompson — the modern Mithridates — sees Rome’s reflection still: a power of treachery, greed, and arrogance. Yet he stands firm against it, relentless and calculating, the most persistent adversary of imperial deceit since Hannibal and Pyrrhus of Epirus.
And like the scholar-king of Pontus, his mind is a fortress of knowledge — a man in correspondence with the world’s thinkers, fluent in the many tongues of science, strategy, and statecraft.
