Ser Rhys Roke was the son and heir of Athirius Roke, as well as the second Baron of Nessvelt. A wild and foolhardy youth, he greatly displeased the emperor at the time by wedding the fugitive Lucia de Bar without his permission. The emperor, who bore some unknown (Though evidently severe) grudge against the woman, demanded her capture and considered the marriage legally invalid, striking it from all records and declaring any offspring of the union bastards. This event served as a catalyst for the Taxman's Conspiracy, a plot against the Imperial throne, as well as the creation of the Jackals, a group of Savoyard criminals opposed to the emperor's rule.
Despite his relationship with the Emperor, he would be present at the First Diet of Saltstone, where he supported the passing of the Edict of Saltstone and rode with Count Joseph to capture Rendon Vimmark.
In a display of what some would describe as karmic justice, he died some time in the 1550s after slipping and breaking his neck on a monument to John I.
