== History ==
LeFine was the wartime leader of the Serene Duchy during the "hot phase" of the Leandran War, which began just months before the anticipated election of a new Serene Doge. Rather, LeFine won an overwhelming vote to extend his tenure and award him emergency powers. His administration was marked by the violent repression of Kirvans and Idolmarites both by state actors and through tacit approval of non-state militias. He oversaw the Alusian-Aeldman rapprochement, including the publicization and recognition of the Thannasid regime at the top of the Alusian government. He signed Aeldrum to the "Material Compact" and oversaw the creation of the "Manticore" to act as a pseudo-divine proxy for Aeldrum in transacting and enforcing the terms of the Compact. LeFine presided over post-war reconstruction, promising in his reelection bid to step down in (by which time he would be 133 years old). Though he honored this promise, he remained a powerful elder statesman and is believed to have hand-picked the 63rd and 64th Serene Doges from among the SNPs (each serving a single 10-year term), before the schisming of the party in the election. 
LeFine is often compared with the other "great wartime Doges" (Leopold Orvhim, Bareth Aefendt, Guillarme du Montreal), with particular comparison to Bareth. He is remembered as the visionary of Aeldman Isolationism, the great inward turn of the Serene Duchy away from cosmic affairs, with enormous economic sums spent on the creation of Paradise Worlds and Ether-Tunnels in which the Aeldman "elect" could perfect their civilization while the outside universe withered.
