Description
Sertorius has the solid, disciplined build of a career soldier, with sun-darkened skin and close-cropped dark hair.

He wears the standard attire of a Roman general: a crimson cloak draped over bronze armor, leather cuirass, and greaves. His stance is upright and authoritative, conveying both experience and strategic intelligence.
