I am interested in seeing more sane Garlean aliened Garleans, but I highly doubt Nerva is going to be it.

House Brutus is specifically mentioned as backing him, and Fandaniel is just about the last person alive who would back a competent tactical minded leader who could stabilize the empire. That's basically the exact opposite of what he wants.

Nerva and Titus are pretty clearly being portrayed as another type of way Monarchies tend to suck. Nepotism, men who only got to where they are due to birth.

Though on the subject, it would be interesting if the I's legions Legatus ends up being important, they were fighting the III after all. Maybe they could be the sane uniter after everything falls apart.

Also, not for nothing but I want a female Legatus someday. (One that everyone knows is a girl, not pretending to be a man like Eula was)
