John Colonna, also known as Giovanni, was the son of Stephen Colonna who met his end in battle against the forces of Cola di Rienzi. A gallant youth of noble bearing, he fought alongside his father and relatives, his young life cut short in the same conflict that would eventually claim his entire family line.

Description

A gallant young nobleman in his early twenties, with dark wavy hair and olive skin that speaks of his Roman heritage. His athletic build and noble bearing reflect both his youth and his ancient lineage, dressed in the fine medieval Italian clothing befitting a Colonna son.
