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.
