== Biography ==
=== Early life ===
Certavus was born on [[Spherus Magna]] a little over 265,000 years ago; he was very young when [[Lein]] passed away.{{GregCitation|OGDi|page=303|post=12107|lines=14,24,40,48}} As Certavus grew older, he witnessed the [[Dreaming Plague]] and the creation of the [[Element Lords]] by the [[Great Beings]]. Certavus lived under the rule of the [[Element Lord of Ice]], with other members of the Ice Tribe.

Certavus later fought in the [[Core War]] for control over [[Energized Protodermis]], during which he commanded a well-reputed battalion of the Ice Tribe army. Certavus led this battalion on a campaign through [[Bara Magna]] to defeat several [[Sand Tribe]] [[Vorox|fighters]] and, after succeeding, began the trek back to their territory. However, in the midst of their journey, the battalion was ambushed by a group of [[Skrall]] warriors; Certavus' cunning saved the lives of his men. The battalion regrouped and moved through [[Bota Magna]], where they witnessed a fight between [[Fire Tribe]] and [[Water Tribe]] fighters. Certavus launched an arrow into [[Tarix]]'s shoulder, foregoing a lethal shot and prompting the Water Tribe commander and his forces to retreat before finally moving on.

After [[the Shattering]], Certavus, like many others, was trapped on the largest fragment of the planet, Bara Magna.

He also mentored Glatorian such as [[Gelu]] and [[Vastus]]. Certavus became the Prime Glatorian of [[Iconox]], fighting in their most important Arena Matches.
