There's something almost pedantic about this historian, a man whose verbose writings have found favor among the Roman nobility. His presence suggests both the weight of historical knowledge and the somewhat tedious nature of his scholarly output.

Marius Maximus served as a historian whose verbose and sometimes fabulous histories were among the primary texts read by Roman nobles. His works, though criticized for their length and occasional embellishment, provided important documentation of Roman imperial history.
Description
Marius Maximus appears as a middle-aged Roman historian wearing the toga of a scholar. His features are unremarkable but intelligent, with the slightly distracted air of someone whose mind is occupied with historical matters. He carries the bearing of a man accustomed to the company of nobles and the weight of historical documentation.
