Anseau Roisel

Anseau Roisel was a Breton battlemage and statesman during the Aurelian Potentate.

Summary
Roisel was a native of High Rock. He studied first at the Arcane University before matriculating to the War College. Years later he assumed command of the Fourth Legion's battlemage contingent, serving under the generals Titus Magnus and Quintus Aurelian.

Roisel was a key lieutenant to the latter, proving indispensable during his campaigns in Elsweyr (3E 280–87) and Valenwood (3E ?–?). When Aurelian seized control of the imperial government in 3E 298, the battlemage accepted a leading role in the Potentate's regime. He exercised power and influence as an éminence grise, holding neither political office nor a seat on the Elder Council. Roisel was sometimes titled Lord Battlemage as a courtesy. Aurelian deputised many matters of government, diplomacy and war to the sorcerer.
