The Bishop of Castello

- First seen · Book 1 · Ch. 11
He enters the account almost as a passing figure of ceremony: a bishop entrusted with a solemn duty. There is a quiet gravity in the title, though the text offers little more than a glimpse of the man behind it.

The Bishop of Castello appears briefly in the account of Marco Polo’s family, receiving the tithe in Venice. The text gives him no developed personal arc or further role; he remains a figure of ecclesiastical authority at the edge of the Polos’ story.
Description
The text identifies him only as a bishop and supplies no physical description. His age, stature, complexion, hair, eyes, facial features, and particular clothing are not specified. Any visual rendering should therefore rely on the general appearance of a medieval cleric without assigning him unsupported distinguishing traits.
