Seresha Jaqen

Leader of the New Unity Party, Governor of the Lorathi Mainland, Senator of Lorath, Daughter of Lorath Seresha Jaqen (a.k.a. Lady of Lorath, First Female Senator, The Pet of Pentos)

Personality

Since her fathers death, Seresha has taken up leadership of the Unity Party. Adding to her already heavy workload as governor of the Mainland. Seresha has so far served well in both positions but it has started to wear on her. She is often seen with dark circles under her eyes and has become known for having a short temper. Especially towards those that suggest she takes some time off.

History

Seresha Jaqen was born from Qarlon Jaqen and a Lyseni prostitute. She lived with her mother until she was 3 years old when Qarlon returned to Lys to retrieve her. Seresha always showed a great interest in learning, spending many cold winter nights in her fathers private library. When Qarlon was elected as Magister, Seresha wished to join him in the Senate. Despite women being prohibited from office, he allowed her to join his administration. Qarlon mentored her in politics and Seresha's vast knowledge made her one of Qarlon’s best advisors. At first Seresha was mockingly referred to as the “Vice Magister”. By the end of her fathers term they had built the mocking title into a real position. With Seresha serving twice as the Acting Magister during Qarlon's absence. Her term in office ended abruptly with the death of Qarlon in the Disaster at Braavos. Seresha took a brief absence to mourn her father. Only to return to the Unity Party nearing collapse. Alon Ostin’s departure had cut the party in half with many other senators choosing to go independent believing the party to be dead. Seresha managed to rescue the Unity party by merging with the similarly weakened Whale Party under Ando Cahya. Securing the merger by marrying Barrett Cahya and her brother marrying Bethany Cahya. Since the merger Seresha's responsibilities have grown out of control. Being in charge of the New Unity Party, Daughters of Lorath, and the Mainland. Her dedication is respected but many in her own party encourage her to delegate some of the workload.

Ambitions/Goals

Become the First Female Magistrate.

Marriage to Barrett Cahya

Like her brother, Seresha married Barrett Cahya to seal the Party merger. The two seem to have forged a real connection despite their different personalities. Their relationship is viewed with some controversy as Barrett is the captain of Chamber Guard. The Guard that is to protect the lives of the senate and Magister. However the Leviathan's have yet to press the issue.

Mainland Popularity

Seresha's term as governor has made her a beloved figure to the Lorathi Mainlanders. They contribute much of the region's prosperity to her skill as an administrator. Even her Leviathan rivals have come to respect her in this role. Illan has allowed her to continue governing the province and has adjusted the senate meetings so she could still attend.
