Hasdrubal was the brother of Hannibal Barca, and son of Hamilcar. While Hannibal marched into Italy, Hasdrubal fought the Romans on the Spanish front. These battles were inconclusive, as both sides achieved victories and suffered defeat, while Hasdrubal also had to quell Spanish rebellions. Eventually, Hasdrubal was joined by his brother Mago, and Hasdrubal Gisco; in 212 BCE, the trio were able to rout the Romans at the Battle of the Upper Baetis, killing the generals Scipio in the process.

Note: This card was never printed. The final version from the design team has been spoiled to players on the Anachronism forums. There's no telling whether or not this card will be printed, and if it were, that it'd have the same text as the spoiled version.
As is, one will notice things missing, since the card hasn't been finished. There's no artist or flavor text; ability titles are English, rather than Punic.

Trivia
- The Scipio family would be avenged for Upper Baetis - Publis Scipio Africanus, son and nephew to the Scipio generals in that battle, defeated Carthage in countless battles.
- Unfortunately for Hasdrubal, his death is more popular than his life: Attempting to rendezvous with his brother Hannibal, Hasdrubal died fighting two Roman legions sent to block his way. The dead Barca's head was then tossed into Hannibal's camp.
