(alias Ronaldo the Shiv, Ronaldo Silvertongue, Lord Summerfall, Ronny "Two Tone", The Ambassador, etc.)

Ronaldo Summerfall never knew his parents, only the orphanage where he grew up. Shortly after he learned to talk he was swindling everyone he met, from the teachers to his classmates. It was not long before he had a reputation for being able to talk anyone into anything, and it did not take the Varian Confederation long to recognize this. They saw him as the perfect tool to bend nations to their will, and that he did. Summerfall resolved countless conflicts for the Confederation, though many of the higher ranking officials began to doubt his abilities. Many even began to consider that all of his work had been an elaborate scam, that several of the conflicts he halped resolve had been aranged by Summerfall himself. Still, his results spoke volumes, and they gave him a ship, along with orders to patrol the Astral Sea, and several spies in his patrol.

As it turns out, the Confederation's concerns were well founded, as Summerfall's true motives soon became clear. A short sending message was the only warning they received, with just enough time to divert a patrol to stop him. Confederation agents stormed Summerfall's ship as he was signing over two "worlds" to the Illithid Empire, in return for an alleged "peace" between the two parties. The Illithids involved in the illegal treaty were all slaughtered, and Summerfall was taken into custody.

Since Ronaldo Summerfall's deception was discovered, he has been connected to dozens of other crimes. He is currently recognized as one of the most notorious con men of his day, and has been sentenced to life imprisonment. There are some who believe that this sentence will not stop him from furthering his sinister plans.
