Seraphina Valeriana

Seraphina Valeriana, born 1711, is a seasoned political leader and the current Speaker of the Imperial Synkletos. She has long been a trusted confidante of Basileus Giakoumis II and is known for her astute political maneuvering, a keen understanding of Imperial law, and an ability to maintain the delicate balance between imperial power and the needs of the people.

Coming from a noble family with deep roots in the Imperial bureaucracy, Seraphina rose to prominence through her service in various administrative roles, eventually earning a position on the Synkletos for her expertise in foreign policy and economic reforms. Known for her charismatic leadership, she can both charm and command loyalty from members of the Synkletos, as well as navigate through bureaucratic intricacies.

As Speaker, she holds significant sway in the legislative process, often guiding the Synkletos in formulating policies that align with Basileus Giakoumis II’s vision. Her role is crucial in shaping foreign diplomacy, as she often leads diplomatic delegations and works closely with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

While she is admired for her political savviness, some view her as a puppet of the Imperial family, aligning too closely with the Autokrator’s will, which has led to criticism from opposition groups.

Appointed Commander of the Order of Ash and Elm in 1749.
