A little background:
Zoltes per Kallatis was quickly noticed as having great potential when he was a simple youth. Under the guidance of Dula per Dyonisopolis (then the leader of the Getai), Zoltes was charged with raising a medium-sized detachment of the finest men Dacia could offer; the unit was called Group Daoi. Zoltes commanded this band of elites for more than a decade, transforming it into one of the most feared military forces in the known world. Under his decisive leadership, the detachment mounted an amphibious invasion into the Italic Peninsula (then held by the bloated empire of the Karthadastim) and razed a number of cities, including Taras, Capua, and Roma, and then continued blazing a path of destruction through the Peninsula's toe and into Sicilia.
Some years later, Zoltes led his Group Daoi to dislodge the stubborn Epeiros from their last surviving settlements northwest of Sarmizegethusa. When the mighty Dula per Dyonisopolis passed away in 193, Zoltes was given leadership of the Getai. He decisively snatched Nikaia from the strangehold of Pontus, earning himself the title Pavel-ter - leader of the Thracians. At the same time, the treacherous Karthadastim launched a major offensive in the west, attacking Segestica with several full-strength armies. Zoltes eventually drove them off and then boldly launched a counteroffensive aimed at taking Patavium.
The attack was successful, and Zoltes's thought that the bridge directly west of Patavium could be used as a bottleneck to stem the countless armies of the Karthadastim proved to be correct. Over a span of 15 years, Zoltes fought the Karthadastim to a standstill, killing more than 50,000 (no exaggeration) of the enemy. During this time, he also oversaw operations being conducted on a second front, this one in Asia Minor against the Ptolemaioi.
Eventually, the Karthadastim became weakened due to a combination of thousands of troops lost at the hands of Zoltes and numerous uprisings of the Lusotannan, Aedui, Arverni, and Eleutheroi. In a blitzkrieg campaign, Zoltes rushed several armies through the Po Valley and down the Italic Peninsula. In just two years, he conquered everything between Mediolanum and Capua, finally achieving an uneasy peace on the western front (the rest of the Peninsula was conquered by Epeiros, who are now true allies to the Getai).
Now it's your turn. Those who have a family member(s) that has achieved perfection in Command, Management, and Influence: show us who he is and how he became a god among men!
P.S. If it is so desired, I will add screenshots to accompany my brief history.
