His high shoulders and deeply frowning brows make him seem permanently braced for confrontation. Quick-tempered and commanding, he has the sort of presence that turns a military inspection into a test of everyone’s nerves.

Constantine Pávlovich appears as a forceful, volatile member of the imperial family and a figure within the army’s command structure. During a tour of the regiments in Galicia, his anger erupts at an Austrian officer; later he is counted among those wary of Napoleon, and eventually joins the army after an earlier removal. His place in the succession and military world is marked by authority, impatience, and the uneasy pressures of the time.
