Innocence was Valentinian's pet bear, a fierce and enormous animal that served its imperial master with such distinction that it earned an honorable discharge. After years of meritorious service, the bear was restored to the freedom of its native woods, a remarkable end for a creature that had lived so long in the company of emperors.
Description
An enormous bear with thick, dark brown fur that speaks to both power and age. Its build is massive and muscular, with the heavy limbs and broad chest of a creature at the peak of its strength. Dark intelligent eyes peer from a face marked by the dignity of long service, and its fur shows the subtle scars and wear that come from years of unusual companionship.
