Julius served as master-general of Roman troops during a period of crisis, holding an important station with a reputation for diligence and ability. When Gothic tensions reached their breaking point, he assembled his principal officers to orchestrate the massacre of Gothic youth—a decision that would have lasting consequences for Roman-Gothic relations.

Description

A middle-aged Roman military officer with olive skin and short-cropped hair, clean-shaven and bearing the insignia of master-general. He wears the tunic and armor of a Roman commander, with a cloak of office draped across his shoulders. His bearing is authoritative and competent, suggesting both military discipline and administrative capability.
