==History==
 
==History==
Nicholas Cassnew entered service with the Blessed Order during the later years of the [[Third Succession War]], serving in the organization's intelligence arm [[ROM]] during the reign of [[Primus of ComStar|Primus]] [[Julian Tiepolo]], Cassnew earning a reputation as an ultra-conservative in comparison to those adhering to Tiepolo's more liberal stance. Following Tiepolo's heart attack and the accension of firebrand [[Myndo Waterly]] to the position of Primus, only three days into her primacy Waterly replaced the Tiepolo-loyalist [[Tojo Jarlath]] with the much more conservative Cassnew as her new Precentor ROM.<ref name=CSp59/>
+
He was [[ROM]]'s [[Precentor]] until [[Myndo Waterly]] returned after signing the agreement with the [[Draconis Combine]]. She accused him of gross negligence in the agreement with the Combine despite the fact she had taken the lead role in negotiations and used this as a pretext to promote the renamed [[Anastasius Focht]] in his stead.<ref name=CS-60>''ComStar'', p. 60: "Rosebud"</ref>
 
 
Following the conclusion of the [[Fourth Succession War]], Nicholas Cassnew oversaw ROM during Primus Waterly's efforts to both deploy the newly revealed [[ComStar Guards and Militia]] throughout the [[Inner Sphere]] and shatter the upcoming merger of [[House Davion]] and [[House Steiner]] into the [[Federated Commonwealth]]. The result was her plan for [[Operation ROSEBUD]], supporting the creation of the [[Free Rasalhague Republic]] to try and fragment the [[Inner Sphere]] while also strengthening the ability of the [[Draconis Combine]] to resist the combined FedCom powers, including the promise of aid from Cassnew's ROM to supply FedCom troop movements to the [[Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery]].<ref name=CSp59/>
 
 
 
Though Cassnew actually played a minor role in ROSEBUD with Primus Waterly personally taking the lead role in negotiations with ''[[Gunji_no_Kanrei#Gunji-no-Kanrei|Gunji-no-Kanrei]]'' [[Theodore Kurita]], following the cooling of relations between ComStar and the Combine over accusations that the other party did not uphold the agreed pact, Waterly would remove Nicholas Cassnew as Precentor ROM in response to "his gross incompentence during the recent dealings with the Draconis Combine". In truth this was little more than an easy pretext allowing Primus Waterly to replace him with a unique "gift" she had received from the ''Gunji-no-Kanrei'' - [[Anastasius Focht]] - a former general that would provide the practical military experience and leadership needed to allow the Com Guards to become a Inner Sphere-spanning military.<ref name=CSp59/>
