I like the idea they fight to end a conflict.  Maybe make it so he takes part in conflicts maybe to solve maybe to start depending on how Mars sees it.

You could also add some specifics to that.  Maybe he's a defender of Western Civilizations (to emphasize the connection to Rome) or just humanity in general.  Something like that would allow you to proactively engage in conflicts to further the safety of what he's defending.

Oh, and he'd probably hate the White Court.  Butcher quite cleverly (imho) has them using Ancient Etruscan, and those were neighbors of the Romans who viewed them as rather decadent (though the Romans learned many of the trappings of civilizations from the Etruscans, but that's besides the point).  As I understand it, the Etruscans probably weren't as decadent as some Romans thought (possibly it was just increased gender equality), but the White Court is so I say go with it.

He should really have a set of 3 items. A sword, a Shield, and a Spear. without weapons the shield is nothing...

Of course he will have a full set Sword/Spear/Shield/Armour but I am not sure I will allow them all to be magically.  A little overpowered. 

I think I will leave the character to decide what he is to do in vegas.  Not sure there are many Wars there.

Not really he only gets the item rebate once so the only advantage of having them all is that they would all be unbreakable. The only real thing that gets an advantage for being indestructible is the shield which you could then use to block bullets.

Its not so much the fact he gets them its more can he afford them with his refresh cost for a magic everything.  I know he will also need to spend points on weapons skills.

You really could just play him as a mercenary/soldier-of-fortune type. Then you don't have to worry about fighting wars specifically, just about finding moneyed individuals (or individuals with whatever progresses you towards whatever personal goal you have) who need your expertise.

I am not sure the player wants merc.  Have to chat to him.  He wants to be the Champion of Mars.  Also a merc in Vegas? Based out of Ceasers palace lol. 

I have found that Mars gave Ancile (a magic shield) to his followers so I think a Shield of power.

I'd give him the full Roman set of gear, at least a Scutum (those square shields used by the roman legion) and gladius (weapon 2 sword).  Perhaps a pilum as well (short javelin).  You could do other stuff too, but I think he can handle those himself if he wants it, those are kind of the essentials.  If you want to be cool, have the shield normally be a buckler or something small and unfurl into a full shield.

I have been looking into Mars and he is suppose to have sent a shield to Earth.  It was called Ancile. The romans gave made copies of it and gave one each to a group of Priest/Warriors called Salii.  One held the real Ancile.  So I think I kno his magic shield and his High COncept there.
