Narses was a bodyguard of Justin II in late 565 and became, as sacellarius, responsible for the repair of the walls of Constantinople. In late 581, he was, as protospatharius, sent to the Avars who threatened to take Sirmium, yet he fell ill and died before reaching them, as recorded in Joh. Eph., EH 6.30 and 31.
