Lysandro Rogare, known as Lysandro the Magnificent, was a wealthy Lysene banker and head of House Rogare. His brother, Drazenko, was the consort of Aliandra Martell, Princess of Dorne. Lysandro's children were Larra, Lysaro, Moredo,[2] Lotho, Roggerio, Lysara, Drako, Fredo, and Marra.[1]
History
Lysandro Rogare was the patriarch of the rich and powerful Rogare dynasty and a magister of Lys during the Dance of the Dragons and the years that followed. His family owned a many holdings, including a famed pillow house called the Perfumed Garden, and controlled the powerful Rogare Bank. After the death of Bambarro Bazanne, the captive Prince Viserys Targaryen passed into the hands of Lysandro. Initially, he considered putting the boy to work in his pleasure house on account of his striking appearance, but quickly changed plans after Viserys identified himself. Instead, he wed the boy to his youngest daughter, Lady Larra Rogare.[3]
Lysandro was the head of the Rogare Bank, which was even more powerful than the Iron Bank of Braavos for a time. After Larra's marriage to Prince Viserys Targaryen, Lysandro styled himself First Magister for Life and people called him the Magnificent. However, he and his brother died within a day of each other and thus the fall of the Rogares began both in Lys and the Seven Kingdoms.[2]

George R. R. Martin may have created Lysandro as a reference to Lorenzo de' Medici, known as Lorenzo the Magnificent, the de facto ruler of the Florentine Republic and the Medici Bank.
