Profile[]

Appearance[]

Samuel Rocksmith is a portly middle-aged man with brown eyes and receding brown hair. He has a small pencil hook moustache. Samuel dresses in a duck blue three-piece suit consisting of a long tailed jacket with brown lapel, green waistcoat and blue trousers. he also wears a white buttoned shirt, red bow tie and carries a matching blue blue fedora.

Personality[]

Whilst most of his interactions give the semblance that Samuel Rocksmith is a jovial and amicable gentleman, it is clear he is a master politician, not afraid of extorting smaller nations or manipulating rhetoric to serve the needs of Calvard.

President Rocksmith is described as a raccoon for both his looks and his personality.

Background[]

Samuel Rocksmith assumed office as 22nd president of the Calvard Republic in S.1196[1], although his popularity had been challenged due to his stance on immigration. President Samuel Rocksmith is considered to represent the populist faction within the Republic government. President Rocksmith is presumably best known for his leniency toward immigration from eastern Zemuria, which has made him a target for anti-immigration extremists and political rivals.

Samuel Rocksmith was friends with the father of Cody and Kaela MacMillan for some time. He also knew the Grand Prince of Elsaim and professor Latoya Hamilton from his tenure as president, along with Gien Lu and Fan Lu of Heiyue. Rocksmith was once close with Roy Gramheart before the latter left the republican party and military. he also knew Agnes Claudel's mother and Agnes herself as a baby.

Samuel at one point formed the Rocksmith Agency, recruiting Kilika Rouran from the Liberl Bracer guild to head the new organisation.

Samuel is amongst the visiting dignitaries attending the West Zemuria Trade Conference in Crossbell. He and Giliath Osborne, although representing two countries with bitter rivalries, make short work in manipulating the rhetoric against smaller nations like Crossbell, serving their own countries' needs. It turns out, for protection at the West Zemuria Trade Conference, he had mafia syndicate Heiyue take care of the terrorists that assaulted the Orchis Tower. He also commended the Special Support Section for how they dealt with the D∴G Cult during the Cult Incident in S.1204, re-confirming his position as the leader of Crossbell's suzerain state.

Samuel's soft stance in both immigration and Erebonia's gains would eventually cost him the upcoming election, where he lost to Roy Gramheart. With the remaining time on his term, he appears representing his country onboard the Pantagruel, hoping to avoid a scenario where Erebonia can bring wide-scale destruction to the continent. Under his direction, Calvard joins operation Mille Mirage, the only force capable of holding back the Chancellor's ambitions.

When the meeting comes under attack by the Glorious, Samuel and his attendants fall back to their drop ship and consider calling their nearest air fleet for aid, but the arrival of the Courageous II prevents this.

In the aftermath of the Great War, Samuel is forced by president-elect Roy to demand astronomical remunerations for Erebonia's reckless declaration of war.

Following Roy Gramheart being elected as Calvard's next president, Samuel eventually became a simple farmer in the countryside of Calvard. Originally being behind the invitation in the first place, he greets Van Arkride and the Arkride Solutions Office by surprise when they visit the old dojo in Longlai. Rocksmith is fascinated by Arkride, seeing the companions he has brought and recognising him as a student of Gunther Barkhorn. They bond over their mutual acquaintances. He describes his days as enjoying the fruits of the land when the weather is fair and keeping his mind in shape when the weather is poor, along with enjoying the hot springs. Rocksmith forewarns Van about the dangers the country will be facing in the near future, and Van's unique position which will allow him to navigate them. Samuel then talks to Agnes about her father and how he doesn't begrudge his role in taking over as president. Rocksmith hadn't seen the missing Yumé, but is worried about supernatural phenomena, having been introduced to it in Erebonia and he helps aid the border guard and police to help find her.

Rocksmith visits Edith on Revolution Day and meets with Fan Lu and Kilika. He is caught up in the Pandemonium. He helps as many people as he can in the Dark-Light District, viewing it as a unique opportunity to get to know ordinary people, leaving the bigger situation to the forces such as the CID whilst he monitors it in his own way.
