Byzantine Empire

'''Note- Alot of you will probaby say that Grandpa Rome is both empires, east and west, but I'm just saying that Grandpa Rome has a twin. If you want to complain, go to my talkpage. '''

Byzantine Empire, also known as Eastern Roman Empire, is a Hetalia fan character who represents the Byzantine Empire, which lasted for a thousand years. He takes the name Basil Argyros when he was given a human name.

Personality/Appearence
Though much quieter than his twin brother, Western Roman Empire, he is very intelligent and stratigic. He could read maps very well and he has a knack for foreign languages, especially Medieval Greek. Like his brother, he is a hit with the ladies as he can charm them with his great singing and skills at music. He is also good in battle, though he can sometimes become too proud. He also suffers from the same problem Canada does, with the other countries thinking that he is Ancient Rome and then admitting they have never heard of him (especially the west european countries).

He has a very similar appearence to his twin, with only slightly tanned skin and dark blue/green eyes. He is tall, with a slightly muscular figure. He has a long scar on his forehead from a fight against the Bulgarian Empire. In battle, he dresses in Roman armour that is very similar to his twin with the only difference of a purple cape oppossed to his brother's red cape. When not in battle, which isn't often, he wears a long cloak of dark purple with peacock patterns and a gold trim, a tunic of the same color and cloth sandals (which result in his feet being very badly bruised; almost to the point of bleeding.
