Crixus was a Gallic gladiator and military leader in the Third Servile War. Born in Gaul, he was enslaved by the Romans under unknown circumstances and trained as a gladiator in Capua. His name means "one with curly hair" in Gaulish.
He fought along side Spartacus, rampaging and looting. They separated because Spartacus wanted to train in the hills against the Romans but Crixus was having too much fun plundering. This led to his death but it was very honorable, he was defeated with his stubborn head held high.

Crixus was told he would freeze outside but decided to stay in the yard because he didn't want his friends to think his mom ran his life.
