Safez of Roarborne

Safez of Roarborne (appeared 11 December 2025) is a Lionarchic politician currently serving as the leader of the Lionarchic Roarist Party. He assumed leadership of the Lionarchic Roarist Party on 11 December 2025, succeeding his brother and party founder, Scor of Roarborne. Safez is a member of the Solarite ethnic minority and is a member of the Roarborne family.

Safez's early leadership was characterized by the appointment of his siblings into key portfolios. He put Sabah in charge of foreign affairs, appointed Sifad as head of internal affairs and kept Scor in command of the Lionarchic Roarist Armed Forces (LRAF). This centralization around the Roarborne Family led to internal friction, most notably a power struggle with Shadid of Sorbonne, who aimed to reform the political party to a more left wing variant known as Saharism over the family-centric governance favored by Safez and the Roarborne family.

Early life

Family and background

Safez of Roarborne appeared on 11 December 2025 in Eindhoven. He is a member of the House of Roarborne, an affluent Solarite family with significant influence in the government. His father is Sulay of Roarborne, who had four children. Safez was the fourth son. His three older brothers include Scor, Sifad and Sabah. Safez has three sons, Sarsel, Sabbar and Saher.

Education

Safez pursued a higher education at the university of Solarha where he studied politics. At the university he met several future politicians including Shadid of Sorbonne, Faisal of Hashemane, and Abdul.

Historically the Sorbonne and Roarborne families were closely aligned, which prompted Safez and Shadid to seek friendly relations with each other. Safez, Shadid and several others formed a secret movement that aimed to undermine the Imperialist government. However, when the void opened the secret movement fell apart until they re-emerged from the void and joined the Lionarchic Roarist Party, which sought to overthrow the Royalist government.

Military career

After graduating from university, Safez entered officer's training around December 2025. He climbed the ranks to colonel general swiftly in the Royalist Lion Forces (RLF). During his service in the RLF, Safez befriended several other lions who joined the Lionarchic Roarist Party. He later left the RLF joining the Lionarchic Roarist Armed Forces (LRAF) instead. In the RLAF he served under Scor's command. Safez later became inactive since he mainly focused on politics.

Lionarchic Roarist Party rule (2025-present)

The Lionarchic Roarist Party was established on 2 December 2025 by Scor of Roarborne, only nine days before Safez reappeared. The party aimed to overthrow the royalist government and end the other insurgencies. Scor held leadership of the party though having confirmed he hoped Safez would reappear to take over party leadership. On 11 December 2025, Safez reappeared and took control of the party.

Safez immediately started assigning several Roarbornes in key positions in the political party to establish significant influence centered around the Roarborne family. Additionally, his leadership saw a significant growth in popularity. Before Safez grew to power, studies indicated only around 7% of lions supported the Lionarchic Roarist party. Later, during the elections on 2 January 2026, the Lionarchic Roarist Party obtained 39 out of 250 seats under Safez's leadership, which is around 16%.

Political ideology and beliefs

Safez's ideological evolution is defined by his transition from a traditional Roarist to the founder of Roarbornism. While he originally advocated for the total dissolution of the monarchy in favour of democratic elections, his philosophy shifted significantly towards a mixture of Solarite nationalism, secterianism, militarism and a cult of personality around the Roarbornes.

Roarbornism is frequently contrasted with Saharism, the variant of Roarism dominated by the House of Sorbonne. While Saharism is characterized by non-dynastic, atheist and communist principles, Roarbornism rejects these beliefs, focusing on the appointment of Roarbornes in key positions of government, assigning Roarbornes in charge of state institutions and establishing an exclusive democracy, with only Solarites receiving the right to vote.

Personality

Safez's demeanour is reportedly very calm and is widely regarded as highly intelligent, with some rumours of him having an IQ of 130 having spread widely, though he has not confirmed this. According to several close associates, Safez uses strategic thinking to gain significant influence in politics. Safez has spread little information on himself, though having verified the allegations that he primarily spends time with his oldest son Sarsel, hoping he will follow in his footsteps.
