Ursicinus served as a Roman general in the East, commanding with the competence that comes from experience rather than political maneuvering. His honest character and military skill made him a target for court intrigues, leading to his removal from command despite his proven abilities.

Description

A middle-aged to elderly Roman general with a weathered face marked by honest features. His graying hair is cropped short in the practical military style. He possesses a sturdy build shaped by years of campaigning, and carries himself with the dignified presence of a capable commander.
