Stephen Colonna the Elder stood as the patriarch of one of Rome's most powerful noble families, father to six brothers who would all meet violent ends. Praised by Petrarch as a hero of the old Roman order, he witnessed the destruction of his entire family line before dying from grief, marking the end of an era in Roman baronial power.
Description
An elderly Roman nobleman whose venerable appearance speaks of both great age and ancient lineage, his silver hair and weathered olive skin bearing witness to decades of Roman political life. He wears the rich dark robes befitting his status as father of the Colonna family, his dignified posture undiminished by the tragedies that would ultimately claim his entire bloodline.
