Rhadenos Vourtzes was the hypasteos, or governor, of the city of Imbros, in northeastern Videssos. He was the first high-ranking Videssian encountered by the Roman Legion led by Marcus Scaurus, and did not leave a good impression of himself to the tribune and his men. Scaurus also suspected that Vourtzes was not fully loyal to the Avtokrator of Videssos, Mavrikios Gavras.
