# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Born around 359 with Vandal blood in his veins, Stilicho rose through the Roman military and married Serena, niece of Theodosius I—a connection that placed him at the heart of imperial power. When Theodosius died, Stilicho became guardian to the young emperor Honorius and de facto ruler of the Western Empire. For years he fought to hold the frontiers against barbarian incursions and navigate rivalries with the Eastern court, but military setbacks and palace intrigue turned the mood at Honorius's court against him. On 22 August 408, his enemies struck: Stilicho was arrested and executed, his decades of service ending in a single blade-stroke.
