A young nobleman stands at the vessel's forecastle, where the close press of a galley makes courage feel immediate and perilously human. The account gives little of his face, leaving his youth and readiness to carry the impression.

The eldest son of Lamba Doria is remembered in the account as a young fighter aboard his father's galley at Curzola. He is gravely wounded during the battle, and his father casts his body into the sea. The brief record gives him no name of his own, preserving him instead through the stark intimacy of that loss.
Description
He is described as a young adult nobleman of athletic, combat-ready build, fighting at the forecastle of his father's galley. The text does not specify his complexion, hair, eyes, facial features, height, or particular clothing, nor does it record any distinguishing marks.
