Eleiser de Polanco

Cardinal of the Sabbat. Eleiser was a Spanish nobleman. He had been a knight in life, a valiant warrior in the Reconquista but

capable of appreciating the strengths and beauties in Moorish culture, a gentleman in the full old sense of the word.

"A Spanish gentleman with broad if vaguely defined connections to key manufacturers and government ministries would have

no trouble obtaining semi formal appointments for late dinners with local officials. And after that, well, they would remember

only what he instructed them to. Granted that the Egyptian economy was already in fairly bad shape, he nonetheless felt sure

that with a few minutes’ effort he could ensure that it became worse in much more interesting ways."
