Ioane King is an actor, known for Spartacus: War of the Damned (2010) and Spartacus: Gods of the Arena (2011).
Spartacus: Vengeance is the title of the third season of Spartacus, a New Zealand produced, Starz television series, which follows Spartacus: Blood and Sand. It premiered on January 27, and concluded on March 30, 2012. Its story follows Spartacus (played by Liam McIntyre, who replaces the late Andy Whitfield), after he and his fellow gladiators kill their master Batiatus and escape from his ludus, or gladiatorial training school. Cast members and characters who return from the first season include Lucy Lawless as Lucretia, Peter Mensah as Oenomaus, Manu Bennett as Crixus, Dan Feuerriegel as Agron, Nick E. Tarabay as Ashur, Viva Bianca as Ilithyia, and Craig Parker as Gaius Claudius Glaber. Dustin Clare also reprises his role as Gannicus from Spartacus: Gods of the Arena, the prequel to Spartacus: Blood and Sand.
On June 6, 2012 Starz and Anchor Bay Entertainment announced the season would be released in DVD and Blu-ray Disc formats on September 11, 2012 in a three-disc set. It was then announced that a third and final season will start in 2013 and would be known as Spartacus: War of the Damned.
Rhaskos ( Ioane King) is a gladiator in Batiatus' Ludus. He joins Spartacus and the other freed slaves in seeking vengeance, and becomes one of the more prominent rebels.
Rhaskos is a tallish, muscular, and bald Gaul who serves as one of Batiatus' many gladiators. Early on in the series, Rhaskos is extremely dirty, with mud and grime covering his entire body, although later on he bares a more cleaner look.
Indiscriminate in his promiscuous activities, Rhaskos enjoys a pleasurable life of eating, drinking, fighting, gambling, and having sex. Being the life of the party, Rhaskos is often seen socializing with the other Gauls, and has high respect for their leader Crixus, to whom he is very loyal and consider the "true champion" of the house. Rhaskos also enjoys the little things in life, and has a keen hand for gambling; the likes of Varro and Hamilcar often gamble with him in a game of dice.
As a rebel with a boisterous personality, Rhaskos is one of the most rambunctious warriors, with the intent of seeking enjoyment from wine and women. He is also unrestrained in his actions, and is unafraid to live his life to the fullest extent, going as far as to strip his clothes when in a jolly mood. Because of this, however, Rhaskos also comes across as unconsidered to those who do not share his entertainment, generally treating them with contempt. When provoked, Rhaskos can be an angered animal.
Rhaskos' hygienic manners have also been put into question. According to Cossutius and Chadara, Rhaskos body odor is equivalent to the smell of excrement, and, in accordance to his sexual acts, Chadara considers him unpleasant, with no consideration for pleasing women.
According to Ashur, Rhaskos is illiterate and therefore cannot read a calendar but yet has an ability to know what time of the month it is i.e. he knows when Ashur will bring the local prostitutes to the ludus.
