Martin served as vice-praefect of Britain, where his honest indignation at unjust investigations led to his forced suicide. Later, he was chosen by Pulcheria and the senate for his integrity, and he led reinforcements of Sclavonians and Huns, wintering in the harbors of Greece. His life was marked by steadfast principle and tragic fate.
Description
Martin has a stern, honest face, light brown hair, and a closely trimmed beard. He wears the tunic and cloak of a vice-praefect, with a simple brooch at his shoulder. His eyes are clear and direct, and his posture is upright, conveying both authority and indignation.
