Praetor Syagrius is the Roman ruler of Gaul, who considers himself the last remaining vestige of old Roman Imperial rule. While the Roman Empire still exists, after a fashion, its centralized power has moved east as the city itself has been sacked and diminished. Gaul itself is under constant threat from the Frankish King Claudas.
Personality
Syagrius is considered snobbish and aloof by most British knights and nobles, as he believes that the former subjects of Rome still owe allegiance to the Emperor and should provide forces to beat back the barbarian hordes attacking Gaul.
Important Deeds of Note
In 486, Syagrius arrived in Logres to ask for assistance, petitioning King Uther to send troops to fight the Frankish invasion on the continent. Uther was courteous, but dismissive as the Saxon hordes were taking too much of his resources to commit to a war far from home. Syagrius eventually left empty-handed, and faced significant defeats that summer.
Finally, in 488, Syagrius successfully petitioned King Uther for military aid. Half the army of Logres, under the command of Prince Madoc, was sent to the continent to fight Claudas and his Franks. They successfully took the city of Bayeux from Frankish control, but Madoc betrayed the Praetor and abandoned his forces to return to Logres with his troops rather than attacking Claudas afterwards. Soissons was defeated by the Franks, who took control of the entire region, giving birth to the new Kingdom of Francia.
By 494, Syagrius had become a mercenary leader and had made his way to Logres, attacking its people and looking for revenge. He was unaware of the death of Madoc, and was attempting to draw his rival out in order to gain vengeance. Instead, he was defeated by the Knights of the Sword and imprisoned by Uther.
