Umberto I

Umberto Favero is the current Doge of the Varesian Confederation, a largely ceremonial position that sees him as a figurehead and only a head of state in dire situations. The majority of his time is spent in diplomacy with other nations, offering an insight into the complx and multi-faceted nature of Varesian politics. There have been little complaints regarding his rule, though for a man who has little opportunity to do anything that is to be expected. He hails from House Favero, scion of the city-state of Iliona , a member state of the Ruling Council. As such, his power may yet be greater than it seems, for the political machinations of an ignored Doge are best hidden by the ruckus of the rest of the nation.
