Promotus rose to become master-general of infantry and played a crucial role in saving the empire from Ostrogoth invasion. His military prowess was matched by his willingness to confront political rivals directly, as demonstrated when he chastised Rufinus with a blow in council. His career ended when he was murdered on Rufinus's orders.
