Noorah Al-Ghareeb de La Roche de Tarzout

While visually a peculiarity among the other nobles occupying Oléon's High Council, Noorah Al-Ghareeb de La Roche de Tarzout can trace her noble lineage far back to when Oléon first arrived in Guelph. Sensing an opportunity to gain more influence and strength, Noorah's ancestral tribe was quick to ally with the northern kingdom and was a loyal ally during the ensuing civil war. Over time, the political power of the family grew through clever diplomacy and sometimes devious scheming. The tribe left the inland desert of Guelph and claimed the fortress of La Roche - the Rock - as their new home, from where they ruled Tarzout and Ouaganda first and later all of their dominions in Guelph, Oléon and the New World. They made their uncountable fortunes in agriculture and trade and own vast swathes of land throughout the Empire.

 

Noorah is a political power player and worked her way up into the highest echelons of Oléonese political life with patience and clever insights. Although some also suggest a more sinister path to power, which includes blackmail and other forms of subterfuge. In either case, as the head of le Bureau de Preuve, Noorah is responsible for the orderly conduct of all interior affairs of Oléon. A task she takes very seriously. A worker bee and somewhat of a control freak, Noorah has considerably expended the shadowy sections of her cabinet and keeps a close eye on possible dangerous elements within the Empire.
