Roman Soldier, from the speculative fiction podcast "Other," is a character shrouded in mystery, appearing seemingly out of time and place in a modern setting. He is portrayed as a disoriented Roman legionary, specifically a miles (common soldier), possibly from the late Roman Republic or early Empire, thrust into the 21st century.

His background is sparsely detailed. It's understood he participated in a Roman military campaign, the specifics of which are unknown. His abrupt displacement leaves him confused and struggling to adapt to the unfamiliar technology and social norms of the modern world. He retains his Roman military discipline and a strong sense of duty, often leading to clashes with contemporary society.

The central conflict surrounding Roman Soldier lies in his anachronistic existence and the search for answers regarding his displacement. He grapples with understanding his new reality and the profound differences between his ancient world and the present.
