Priarius ruled as King of the Alemanni, his headstrong valor both his greatest strength and ultimate undoing. He led his forces against Roman armies near Argentaria with the fierce courage that defined his people. Though he died gloriously on the field of battle, his defeat marked another chapter in Rome's long struggle with the Germanic tribes.
Description
A powerful Germanic chieftain with the massive build and fierce countenance typical of an Alemanni war leader. Battle scars mark his face, while wild hair and beard frame eyes that burn with the headstrong valor of his warrior people. He wears the distinctive battle-gear and ornaments that mark him as king among the Alemanni.
