Igor, son of Rurik, led the third Russian attack on Constantinople, continuing the legacy of Viking princes who had carved their names into the annals of Eastern Europe. His assault represented the persistent ambition of the Rus to claim their place among the great powers of the age.

Description

A young Slavic prince with fair skin and light hair, wearing traditional Russian princely garments trimmed with fur. He carries himself with the determined bearing of a military leader, his sword and shield marking him as both warrior and heir to Rurik's legacy.
