The use of the word "personified" (verb to personify) is to represent an inanimate object or abstract concept as a living being, or as a specific individual.

Example : This character personifies evil.

It can also mean a person as an embodiment or perfect example.

Example : "Stalin now personified bolshevism in the eyes of the world"
