Walamir ruled as one of three brothers over the Ostrogoths during a period of fragmentation and conflict. His death in battle marked the end of his particular branch of Gothic leadership, though his name would echo in the chronicles of the migration period.
Description
An Ostrogothic ruler whose appearance blends Germanic warrior traditions with Roman imperial influences. His armor and simple crown reflect both his tribal authority and the complex relationship between Goths and Romans. His bearing suggests someone hardened by the constant warfare that defined his people's existence.
