About Casca Rufio Longinius
Casca, also known as Casca Rufio Longinius, is a series of paperback novels (25 so far) created and written by author Barry Sadler in 1979.
The series involves the ongoings of a soldier in the Roman legions who is cursed by Christ on Golgotha for driving a spear into him. Casca was initially just trying to relieve Jesus of his pain and suffering.
For his efforts Casca was doomed to wander the Earth aimlessly, always as a soldier. Casca was first introduced in "Casca #1 The Eternal Mercenary". Here Jesus condemns Casca by saying: "Soldier, you are content with what you are. Then that you shall remain until we meet again. As I go now to my father, you must one day come to me".
Casca did not initially understand what had happened to him until he was condemned to work in labor mines over a 30 year period. There he slowly discovers that he does not age and cannot be killed or seriously wounded. He learns that he is immortal, although he can feel all pain inflicted on his person.
