Name: Flavius Valerius Sidonius (gr: Flavios Valerios Sidonious) or Sidonius for short
Dynasty Name: Valeria
Traits: 32, 14, 23
Backstory of your Dynasty: Valerian Family counts itself among one of the oldest aristocracies of the imperium, stretching back to the eternal city itself. Their service in diplomacy, military and court is mentioned in one breath with the previous emperors. That does not mean that the family holds any particular liking for the previous basileus, oh no. Sidonius himself is a man of his time and of his family - Raised in the capital and given the most extensive education, he always was fond of traveling, visiting Syria, Italia and Hispania to see the former imperial provinces and to see what was lost. The name of his family and his travels imbued him with a deep sense of justice and honour, which he found realized in the ranks of Tagmata.
His family and education put an unusual emphasis on ancient philosophies, and some would worry over his preference of Aristotle over Gospel, but he did not let anyone take advantage of the fact and he did appear in the church when he could. Overall, clergymen who meet him see a keen mind, but little of the vital Theoria and instead the rather dangerous Scholasticism, so often exuded by the Roman church.
