Agron is a Canon Character from the Starz's TV series, Spartacus. Characterization is built primarily on Show Canon, with influence from personal headcanon.
As Written by Spirit.

Agron is a Germanic fighter and former gladiator of the House of Batiatus. He is known for his aggressive fighting style and significant skill with blade and shield, both in the Arena and out. A follower of Spartacus from the beginning, he helps the Thracian forge his Rebel Army against Rome, becoming a trusted General and friend in the process.While liberating slaves from the villas near Capua, Agron meets Nasir, whom he is immediately drawn to despite their very different backgrounds. He and Nasir form a relationship that quickly develops into love, remaining true to one another in the face of constant challenges from both friends and enemies.After years of fighting alongside Spartacus, Agron eventually chooses to join Crixus in his march towards Rome, believing himself unsuitable for a life of anything other than battle and bloodshed. He bids Nasir stay with Spartacus, who leads his forces towards the Alps and a peaceful freedom. This decision ultimately results in Agron's capture and torture by Roman forces, before he is traded back to Spartacus's army, his body and spirit deeply wounded.When the final battle arises, Agron has mostly recovered. He reunites with Nasir and is able to stand alongside Spartacus against Crassus, fighting to delay the Romans so that the remaining freed slaves can escape over the Alps. Though Spartacus and all other Gladiators fall, Agron and Nasir survive, making their way into a new future together beyond the reach of Roman cruelty.

To outsiders, Agron's personality can seem raucous and self-assured to the point of being abrasive. He's a very physically imposing person, and often demonstrates an overabundance of aggression as a way to make a point. He also does not take criticism well (especially from those he does not know).But once he deems someone worthy of seeing past his biting exterior, Agron reveals himself to be possessed of a kind heart and a protective spirit, always seeking to aid those he cares about. His devotion to his brothers, both by blood and by choice, is unmatched. And when he loves, he loves fiercely and without restraint. Though his temper may flare, Agron always strives to make things right, and is not above admitting when he is in the wrong.

Little is known about Agron's life before he is captured by Roman forces and sold into slavery. He was born to a tribe East of the Rhine, in Magna Germania (the southern area which would later be referred to as Germania Superior), and has at least one sibling - a younger brother named Duro. He and Duro are captured together and taken south by slave ship on the Tyrrhenian Sea, to Rome. From Rome, the brothers were shipped inland, where they were eventually sold at auction to the Lanista, Quintus Lentulus Batiatus.In Batiatus's Ludus, Agron and Duro train as Gladiators of the Arena. They are paired together for fights, their brotherly bond and similar appearance making them an attraction for the showmanship of Arena Battles. When together, Agron fights as Murmillo, while Duro fights as Secutor. They become fast enemies of the former-champion, Crixus, but forge a friendship with Spartacus, and vow to follow him when he plans a revolt against Batiatus. The uprising is ultimately successful, but Duro is killed by a Roman Soldier during the fight, sending Agron into a grief-filled rage. Once freed, Agron shaves his dreadlocks in mourning and devotes his life to killing as many 'Roman Fucks' as possible.TBC
