Description
A Genoese naval commander with weathered Mediterranean features, dark hair and beard suggesting years spent at sea. He wears the distinctive dress of a medieval Italian naval officer, practical yet bearing the marks of his rank. His bearing reflects both the physical demands of naval command and the strategic mind that earned him fame throughout the Mediterranean.
