Obeseus the Wide was a senator in Rome.

When Obeseus was a child, he was made to plow the fields by his father, Abus, since they didn't own an ox. When Obeseus was a young adult, he was sold to Gordus Antonius as a slave, with Abus using the money to finally buy an ox.

Obeseus was taken to Rome where he made friends with his fellow slaves Lennus, Carlum, Modus and Barnabas. The five of them were then made into gladiators to fight in the Colosseum. During Obeseus' first match, which was against Gordus Antonius' prized gladiator, Wolfus Rein, Obeseus used his experiences with plowing a field to fight back and won the fight, killing Wolfus. This caught the eye of Gordus Antonius' daughter, Majora. Gordus Antonius wanted to put Obeseus to death for killing his prized gladiator, but Majora convinced him to let Obeseus live as the crowd loved him. Obeseus then fought and won several more fights before he declared his love to Majora.

In the prison cells, Obeseus and his friends made a pact that if one of them ever got free, they would do everything they could to get the others free. After they made the pact, Obeseus went to retire for the night, but Majora was in his room. Majora and Obeseus then had sex, which led to Majora getting pregnant. When Gordus Antonius confronted all the slaves about his daughter's pregnancy, the slaves all tried to cover for Obeseus, but Obeseus admitted that he loved Majora. Gordus Antonius then freed Obeseus and had him get married to Majora. Gordus Antonius then gave Obeseus the deed to a laundry business and his friends to be his slaves. As Obeseus was about to free his friends, Majora convinced him not to as it would mean more work for him. Obeseus then told his friends that he would free them once his business had gotten going...
