Selver Carcani

Selver Carcani, a 56 year-old human male, is currently High Archon of the Platinum Empire. He was elected to the position following the death of his predecessor in office. Carcani had served as the Hand of his predecessor for three years before retiring to civilian life, where he spent his time "reconnecting with the commons," though his detractors would say that he spent more time connecting with powerful trade guilds and religious leaders. When the office became vacant, he expressed a willingness to serve.

The Archons at the time were split 2-2 on their preferred candidates, and Carcani emerged as a compromise pick supported by the Platin Congress. He was elected with three quarters of the congressional vote and three quarters of the Archons (Archon Ryld Argith was the lone holdout, complaining that Carcani was a "glorified paper-pusher with no real idea of what we do out in the field").

At the time of the start of the campaign, Carcani has been in office for three years. He has not yet been a particularly proactive High Archon, vetoing very few decisions and generally voting with the Archon that is the most popular. He has mostly avoided suggesting policy initiatives related to military matters, but has, to his credit, been an effective liaison between the military and the Congress, resulting in substantial deference to the Dragonspire and a fairly lax approach by Congress to its oversight duties. Argyth has reportedly been satisfied by this, crediting Carcani for "not sticking his nose into things he knows nothing about" and "smoothing Congress's ruffled feathers."

There does not seem to be any serious opposition to Carcani's continuing in his position for the foreseeable future.
