Role

  • He does not appear in person; he commands. In the antechamber of the palace wait two figures, one of them a cardinal and papal legate. The offer comes wrapped in courtesy.
  • To appease the quarrels between the families, he acts as arbiter, while bankrolling his own Guelph war through the Spini, his bankers.
  • The faction he favors is the Neri.
