I've noticed I haven't posted the history files for these despite showing the family trees
Ardabur, Dagalaifus and Areobindus families
Pompeius family which was WIP and I haven't added to my game, Khurramite leaders(you've already mentioned you added Nasr/Theophobos so you may disregard him) while Anicii I didn't even hope to expand on considering the possibility of adoptions etc. However I did intend do add all of Anicia Juliana's known descendants, and possible descendants.
Justinians. Justinians, Amorians and Heraclius are all made on top of TIP which also adds a few members.
I may have missed an individual or two or a small family but these are the last of the Roman/Byzantine related characters I've added apart from the Attilids. I was thinking on posting the history files during the weekend but since I'm done, I may tidy my notes and sources a bit to give info on a family or two. After that I may not contribute for some time at least not much.
Before concluding my post, some Attilids
The family tree is rather large with both earlier and later members and it's still lacking some known members whose connections aren't known but my intention here is just to show those who are relevant and I'll only explain them.
Edeko is either three seperate individuals with similar names who lived around the same time or a single individual. I've considered him a single individual. He was the Ambassador of Attila in 449 and the father of Odovacar/Odoacer King of Italy. Younger house of Welf also claims descent from him, if you want to add that. I've made him a son of Attila's uncle Rona (Rua, Rugila) because Odovacar was a descendant of Rua. Thela is Odovacar's son and Onoulfus is Odovacar's brother.
Giesmus, also called Gepidus is related to Attila and Ardaric, the king of the Gepids. He is thought to be Attila's son (sometimes identified as Dengizik) and either the son or husband of a female relative of Gepidus. Mundus was Magister Militum of the Eastern Roman Empire and the son of Giesmus. Mundus had a son, Mauricius a strategos of the Byzantine Empire. Mauricius had at least two children, Theodimundus who served in the Byzantine Army in his youth and an unnamed daughter who married Aruth, a Byzantine official of Herul origin.

I may have missed an individual or two or a small family but these are the last of the Roman/Byzantine related characters I've added apart from the Attilids. I was thinking on posting the history files during the weekend but since I'm done, I may tidy my notes and sources a bit to give info on a family or two. After that I may not contribute for some time at least not much.
Before concluding my post, some Attilids

The family tree is rather large with both earlier and later members and it's still lacking some known members whose connections aren't known but my intention here is just to show those who are relevant and I'll only explain them.
Edeko is either three seperate individuals with similar names who lived around the same time or a single individual. I've considered him a single individual. He was the Ambassador of Attila in 449 and the father of Odovacar/Odoacer King of Italy. Younger house of Welf also claims descent from him, if you want to add that. I've made him a son of Attila's uncle Rona (Rua, Rugila) because Odovacar was a descendant of Rua. Thela is Odovacar's son and Onoulfus is Odovacar's brother.
Giesmus, also called Gepidus is related to Attila and Ardaric, the king of the Gepids. He is thought to be Attila's son (sometimes identified as Dengizik) and either the son or husband of a female relative of Gepidus. Mundus was Magister Militum of the Eastern Roman Empire and the son of Giesmus. Mundus had a son, Mauricius a strategos of the Byzantine Empire. Mauricius had at least two children, Theodimundus who served in the Byzantine Army in his youth and an unnamed daughter who married Aruth, a Byzantine official of Herul origin.
