Alberic rose from the position of subject to become prince of Rome, governing the eternal city for twenty years through a combination of revolutionary leadership and political acumen. His ascent began dramatically when he was struck by his new stepfather at a nuptial banquet, an indignity that sparked his rebellion against Burgundian influence. His twenty-year rule marked a significant period of Roman autonomy during the turbulent 10th century.
Description
A mature Roman noble of the 10th century with the commanding presence of one born to authority yet tempered by revolutionary experience. His olive complexion and dark hair mark him as distinctly Roman, while his bearing conveys both aristocratic refinement and the dangerous energy of one who has challenged emperors. His features suggest someone equally comfortable in palace corridors and the streets of revolution.
