Notes: a Roman "citzen" [Plebeian class] of the parallel worldline of Emperor Tiberius Barrabis (the Blessed of God). An Immortal born in 80 BC [our worldline time] = 674 Ab Urbe Condita [After the Foundation of the City]; his first death was in 694 AUC while collecting a business debt.

A skilled craftsman & smith, he met the future emperor during a typical day for Barrabis [Followers of Shub-Niggurath tried to kill Barrabis in an alley near Cato's forge]. Things got stranger after that.....

Engineer Cato vanished from the New World when he leaped into a Gate created by the Nazi followers of Shug-Niggurath ["the black Goat of a thousand Young" in certain cryptic references] . The explosives he planted were successful in destroying the Gate in his Timeline/World, but he was unable to get back through the enemy Gate {Power source: Golgotha - the place of Skulls} to his homeline. Instead he found himself propelled to another world, one perhaps even the Homeworld of his enemy....

There he found that a pretty face does not always a good heart hide. And that the Cave of Shadows goes to both live worlds and Dead ones. [99 years without the sight, sound or touch of any living mammal, reptile or insect (only his arachnoid pals - brought with him acidentally from "Naziland"), across that globe only plant life remained. "But the hand of man was removed from the tillers and the forge." has only made him more crazy.] Even the new locale: the Abyss is more to his liking than there.
