# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Maurice led the Theban Legion under Roman command in the 3rd century, an Egyptian at the head of a unit that would become legendary not for its victories but for its end. The legion was martyred, and Maurice with it. What survives is not biography but afterlife: his veneration spread across Europe, his patronage claimed by craftsmen, regions, and royal houses. The specifics dissolved into devotion. He remains a saint of breadth rather than depth, his name carried forward by the reach of his cult rather than the record of his days.
