Marceau

nationality: = Valencia

Valyria (formerly)Marceau is the Premier of Valencia and a user of storm magic. For the first several months of the Republic's existence, there was no true leader of Valencia, mostly disputed between Raphael and Marceau until the inauguration of the latter.

Inauguration (219 A.R.)
On the 20th of March, thousands gathered to watch as Marceau was inaugurated as Premier of the Valencian Republic. Raphael announced him as the leader of Valencia for years to come as the many attendees cheered him on, marking a historic day for the Republic. Marceau himself promised to lift the place of the nation in the world, and to work tirelessly day and night until things such as the economy and military were bolstered.

The new Premier later spoke with his officials, including Raphael, about the current state of affairs with Istral; Raphael informed him that trade agreements as well as other diplomatic matters were being discussed. Marceau and Grand Commander Scipio both supported the action of sending some of their own men to assist in quashing rebellion in occupied Estros, to solidify these new relations. Marceau immediately sent for Marshal Aedan to lead an expeditionary force to Estros, and for Raphael to inform the Istralians of this.

The Apocalypse (219 A.R.)
When news of the upcoming World Summit was received, it was met by shock from the higher officials. Scipio objected immediately to attending as Valencia was still in its infant stages, and was in need of a leader. Marceau however expressed a desire to meet the other world leaders for the first time, and to make an impression. Raphael advised Marceau to go while he would take hold of the nation in his absence; the Premier departed with Scipio afterward.

Marceau, along with his Grand Commander and Castiel, arrived in Basalica for the World Summit. Throughout the discussion, the Premier of Valencia showed intrigue in the words of Cyrus and Cobalt, who unveiled the schemes of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. When they divulged the two possible locations of the final Gem of Life, Marceau spoke up to say that they would simply split up and venture to both spots in order to recover the final gem; Cobalt, however, berated him for thinking it would be so cut and dry. It was decided that those belonging to each nation would band together to put an end to the threat, but that the world leaders could not partake.

Marceau then declared that others who were not present would be able to assist, and that they should return home to send for them. Castiel, however, pointed out that there was no time, to which Cyrus replied that those present would head for the locations while the others would arrive at a later time.
