Player Name Arboria Character Name Claude von Riegan Links & Reasoning Back home, Claude was the leader of the Leicester Alliance which is a nation founded by his noble house some centuries ago. The Alliance did not swear allegiance to any monarch but was instead governed by a Roundtable where five of the most prominent houses met to discuss actions needing to be taken across the autonomous territories comprising the nation. This also - unfortunately - included a long war that required balancing organizing their military efforts on top of everything else. He was raised with politics as a background which provided him experience with both diplomacy efforts small and large and working with other government officials throughout his life to date. As a result, the idea of this conclave is something he's very interested in pursuing.
He also supports the idea that the Summoned are stronger as a unit and believes they can and should continue to work together whenever possible. Within the pit and shortly after his arrival there, he assisted others in organizing supplies for everyone to maintain what they were able to do and also assisted in helping as many escape as possible when the time came. Around Cadens, Claude makes a point of greeting new Summoned whenever they arrive, including answering their questions, showing them around, and helping them get acclimated as others had done for him upon his arrival.
While he'll admit the Alliance was not without its struggles at times, he sees that as valuable in making sure everyone's voices were heard as much as possible. Claude believes the same can be or will be true for this conclave as it's an opportunity they haven't had (to his knowledge) yet and it is worth taking the chance to make it what the need it to be. Working with many different interests to find solutions is a skill he hopes to offer while serving as a representative with whatever it might entail.
Claude will give this short speech with friendly confidence, and will be happy to answer any and all questions about his past experience leading the Alliance.
