Flavius Stilicho (occasionally written as Stilico) (ca. 359–408) was a high-ranking general (magister militum) who was, for a time, the most powerful man in the Western Roman Empire. Half Vandal and married to the niece of the Emperor Theodosius, Stilicho’s regency for the underage Honorius marked the high point of German advancement in the service of Rome. After many years of victories against a number of enemies, both barbarian and Roman, a series of political and military disasters finally allowed his enemies in the court of Honorius to remove him from power, culminating in his arrest and subsequent execution in 408. Known for his military successes and sense of duty, Stilicho was, in the words of historian Edward Gibbon, “the last of the Roman generals.”

- Stilicho (365-408) is often described as the last great successful Roman General, even though he was officially described as 'half Vandal' and therefore to then imperial Roman Empire rules, ineligible for the title of Augustus. He was the man to attempt to run both the Western and Eastern Roman empires via proxies or purple glove puppets but was in the end murdered on the orders of his own son-in-law and his body left to the dogs to chew.
