Bishop Roger is the Bishop of Salisbury. A practical man of the cloth, count Roderick has come to trust in his counsel in many matters.
Bishop Roger is both wealthy and worldly, in a religious sort of way. Though his taste is minimalistic, eschewing the heavy gold and jewellery of many in his station, to the keen observer his clothes and accoutrements are still very expensive, having been made of the finest materials and to the highest level of craftmanship. He funds this through his income from the holdings of the church, including the church holdings of Amesbury and those around Sarum and Warminster, and the other numerous sources of church income.
He is well educated, widely read, and influential; he loves to travel to London City for business and for people to know that he visits the capital frequently. He tends towards practicality when conflict between the count and the church arises, and has been able to increase his influence in court because of that.
