Vadomair began as prince of the Alemanni, one of the few barbarian leaders whom Julian both esteemed and feared. His subtle diplomacy and military skill led to his capture, exile to Spain, and eventual service as a Roman-allied commander, rising to become Duke of Phoenicia while maintaining command of Roman forces in Armenia.

Description

An adult Germanic prince with a warrior's physique and royal bearing. He possesses the commanding presence that reflects both his tribal kingship and his alliance with Roman military forces. His appearance combines elements of barbarian nobility with the practical attire of Roman military command.
