There is a softness to him that seems almost out of place among the marble corridors of power—a youth whose gentle manners and open face speak of a life still untouched by the weight of empire.

Licinius Caesar began as the son of the defeated emperor Licinius and his wife Constantia, preserved for a time with the title of Caesar after his father's fall. Though his amiable manners earned him favor, his position as nephew to Constantine could not shield him from the shifting tides of imperial politics. He met his end while still a youth, executed as the last remnant of a vanquished line.
Description
A youth of amiable manners, Licinius Caesar possesses a gentle and open countenance with soft features and dark curling hair. His build is slight and graceful, his skin pale and unblemished. He wears the purple-trimmed toga of a Caesar with a thin gold circlet resting on his brow, his expression marked by trust and youthful innocence.
