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 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]

Behind the Scences
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.
