Berimund was third in descent from Hermanric, king of the Ostrogoths, making him a figure of considerable lineage. However, he chose to retire into Spain, where he lived and died in obscurity, his royal bloodline continuing through his grandson Eutharic despite his own withdrawal from prominence.
Description
A man of Ostrogothic noble descent, with fair skin and light hair characteristic of his Germanic heritage. His clothing is simple and unassuming, reflecting his choice to live away from the centers of power, his bearing dignified despite his reduced circumstances.
