When I joined to the SE madness, was in SE3 times, and everybody had Empires to rule, and of course a title. Then, first I needed a title, and because I was an old MOO and MOO2 player/fan, decided that my title should be "Master".
And Belisarius, well, for the Great Byzantine General who reconquered half of the old Roman Empire for Justinian... and the legend says that he finished their days sightless and dependent on charity (due the jealousy Emperor). Interesting, but he died the same year that died Justinian, 565 AD.(Russell Crowe should be happy!)
Can remember that Asimov based the General Belriose in Belisarius, in "Foundation and Empire".
