Pusaeus serves as the Persian governor of Anatho who surrenders to Julian and is admitted to honorable rank in Roman service. His story represents the complex loyalties of border regions where Persian and Roman influence meet, and the personal choices that shape the fate of provinces caught between empires.
Description
Pusaeus is a middle-aged Persian man with olive skin and dark hair, his official bearing evident in both his Persian governor's robes and the Roman military attire he adopts. His features carry the dignity of someone who has made a significant choice between empires.
