Here's a recap of those 3 characters:
Maion: a leader of a small band of elite peltasts, 1/4 thraikioi,1/4 agrianikoi, childhood friend of Anastasios.
Anastasios: Hidden bloodline of Perseus, hetrogenes, currently bidding his time in Korinthos.
Andriskos: ex(?)hyaspistai, nobility. Hated by Makedones. Secretly tied to Deacon. Attempted to seek Seleukitai aid but got captured.
It took Andriskos a whole month to reach the Hellespoint, 2 weeks to sail to Syria. The Proconsol actually 'played' with him for a month before they started the trip. So Anastasios' party have been laying low in Korinthos for almost half a year, and i'm sure they're eager to stir up some anti-Roman sentiments..... =]
