A figure of raw, unpolished power—his very stillness seems to contain barely restrained violence. There's something elemental about his presence, like a force of nature given human form.

Uldin, known to history as Attila the Hun, rose from prince of the Huns to become the terror of the Roman world. His formidable host of barbarians threatened both Eastern and Western empires, his name becoming synonymous with the destruction that marked the end of classical antiquity.
Description
Uldin appears as an adult male of short square build with broad shoulders and nervous strength. His large head, swarthy complexion, small deep-set eyes, flat nose, and sparse beard create a distinctive appearance. He wears plain unadorned dress, his stern countenance marked by fierce rolling eyes and impatient gestures. He sits with inflexible gravity on a simple wooden chair.
