Stephen of Chartres served as a leader among the crusaders during the First Crusade, holding the prestigious position of standard-bearer and presiding over the council of chiefs. However, he would ultimately desert his post at Antioch, abandoning both the standard he bore and the council he led.
Description
A medieval nobleman in his thirties with fair skin and brown hair, wearing chain mail beneath a crusader's surcoat marked with a red cross. He carries himself with the bearing of leadership, though his expression reveals the strain of command and difficult decisions.
