There is a practical directness to him—the look of a man more comfortable with the logistics of survival than the subtleties of court, his presence marked by the dust of roads and the weight of command.

Count Litorius succeeded to command in Gaul in the absence of Aetius, bringing supplies to the besieged city of Narbonne with sacks of flour. His rash advance to the gates of Toulouse led to his capture by the Visigoths, who paraded him through the streets in triumph before consigning him to long and ignominious captivity.
Description
Count Litorius has a weathered face and short-cropped hair, his sturdy build marked by years of military service. He wears a practical military cloak over his tunic, his bearing confident with the authority of command, often seen with the tools of provisioning and the dust of long roads upon him.
