Dagistheus was a commander released from prison specifically to lead the Huns in military operations. His selection for this role suggests both his military capabilities and the urgent circumstances that made his release necessary.

A Hun commander with Central Asian features and weathered skin. His dark hair is pulled back from a broad face with dark eyes, and he wears practical military gear suited to a steppe warrior. His compact, muscular build reflects the hardened presence of an experienced commander.
