Spicolus Maximus (January 14, 835 to January 13, 869)
 
Spicolus Maximus sadly did not pass away quietly surrounded by his loved ones but instead was found mauled in an alleyway the morning after winning his 3rd consecutive horizonback rally, beating both Terry Derrinton and an outsider in the final leg of the rally with his deft dexterity and riding expertise. While small in stature, Spicolus was grand in personality. Beloved within his circle, Spicolus' energy was contagious and elevated the life of those around him. Spicolus' deep love for himself was only exceeded by his love of the horizonbacks he rode throughout his life. Spicolus was saving up to eventually start his own horizonback farm along with a training program. He was several years away from realizing this goal, although had amassed much of the capital necessary to do so. In his will, Spicolus has left his wealth with his family with a good portion going to local horizonback farms. Spicolus' larger and more intimidating brother, Spicola Maximus has vowed revenge upon those who mauled and possibly consumed his brother reminding a small that the 3rd place outsider of the event was later seen wearing the winning amulet. Spicola Maximus will have vengeance, in this life or the next.
