Search - Casca: The African Mercenary (Casca, No 12)

Casca - The Eternal Mercenary. Series written by (SGT) Barry Sadler (of Vietnam fame/album). Wrote the series prior to his death.

Casca, condemed to a life of a mercenary by the Christ, and until the return of The Christ he was bidden to walk the face of the earth and know no rest, and to be just who he was: a mercenary, soldier for hire!

He cannot be killed, but he can feel every knife blade that enters his body, every bullet that penetrate his skin, every bomb blast, and pain is still pain.

He has lived for 2,000 years. A Roman soldier in Jedea during the time of Christ. A Germain Soldier on the Russian Front during WWII. A Foreign Legionaire in Vietnam during the last days of the French Occupation during the mid 1950's. A Barbery Pirate, a member of a Japanese Warlords army where he earlier found out that he couldn't drown, but that water in his lungs was like breathing fire. An american soldier in Vietnam during the mid-1960's.

Washed upon the shores of the Mayan lands in circa 1300 AD were he had his heart cut out by the sun priest and Casca reached up and took his beating heart and put it back into his own open chest, and all say it close up by its own accord and watched as Casca walked down the temple steps and into the crowd on onlookers - none dared to touch him.
