Count Valeri Arlote

Famously gregarious and charismatic, well connected across the Empire beyond normal for someone of his station simply because he was good at making friends and influencing people. While his primary reputation was that of an prolific partyer, he also maintained a respectable degree of skill at rangering, martialing, and ruling. People who disliked him did so because they felt he was pushy and manipulative, and there are some rumors that he employed many people of very unscrupulous talents during his reign in order to undermine his enemies. Valeri was known to be good friends with Emperor Ignavia 'The Sybarite', who spent a good deal of time in Lote.

He at the very least acted very nobly and patriotically, which is of course what spurred him to ride out to Baz's defense, though whether this was just a gamble to gain favor with the Emperor and senate or genuine heroism is questioned by some. Valeri fell in battle near Thedra to marshlanders, along with most of Lote's soldiers.

Lote itself regards him very well, he treated all those under him like close friends and until the end Lote was fairly prosperous.
