Fulcaris was a bold Herulian commander whose military service placed him under the command of Narses during the Gothic Wars. His defining moment came when he refused to retreat from a Frankish ambush, declaring that death held less terror than facing Narses' displeasure. His stand exemplified the fierce loyalty and martial pride that characterized the barbarian warriors who served in Roman armies during this period.
Description
A powerfully built warrior with the muscular frame of a seasoned commander, his skin marked by the sun and wind of campaign life. Short-cropped hair frames a face hardened by battle, with eyes that hold the fierce determination of one who has faced death repeatedly. He wears practical leather armor suited to a field commander, functional rather than decorative, with the bearing of a man accustomed to leading from the front lines.
