As the leader of the powerful moderate faction of the Falenan Senate, Lord Rovere maintained a careful balance in the Senate, keeping both the Barows and Godwin factions from gaining too much power. Lord Rovere was a popular leader in his hometown of Lordlake and a noted scholar who owned many books. His moderate stance marked him as a close ally of the Falenan Royal Family and the Family even vacationed at Rovere's Lordlake mansion. His steward, Talgeyl, would go on to continue the Rovere brand of diplomacy following the Falenan Civil War in his position as Chairperson of the New Parliament.
