  BEL RIOSE : Encyclopedia Entry
In Isaac Asimov's Foundation series, the fictional character Bel Riose was the last strong General of the Galactic Empire, Commander of the legendary Twentieth Fleet, who eventually came to be known as "the Last of the Imperials," and earned this title well.
Riose got his chance when he heard rumors of the "magicians" from Ducem Barr and others, in reference to the scientists of the Foundation.

When Dolesji’s last band fell apart after the departure of a lead guitarist, he and his brother Jeff were left to try and find a way to keep making music.
While Moving Targets is a stripped-down, flat-out, blast-on-blast-off rock record that makes the absolute most of Bel Riose’s two-piece lineup, the brothers weren’t originally sold on the less-is-more approach.
In fact, Bel Riose owe more to Canuck bands like The Inbreds and Duotang, which popularized the bass-and-drum combo in the indie rock heyday of the mid-’90s.

Riose got his chance when he heard rumors of the "magicians" from Ducem Barr and others, in reference to the scientists of the Foundation.
At this time, the Foundation held a large portion of the periphery in economic control and word of the Foundation was beginning to reach the Empire at the Galactic Core.
Like Riose, Belisarius served his Empire at the cusp of its fall, helped it to recapture much of its lost territory, and was called back (and, according to legend, if not truth, executed) on baseless suspicion that he was angling for the Imperial throne.

Psychohistory predicted that a strong general like Bel Riose would appear as a threat to a weak emperor, and that is exactly what happened.
The Bel Riose crisis is the first crisis that occured more because of the calculations of psychohistory than because of mentalics' influences.

The ambitious general from the Galactic Imperium, Bel Riose, decides that now is the best time for conquering the Foundation.

 Review of "Dead Hand"
Patrician Ducem Barr—the son of a man met by Hober Mallow in "The Big and the Little"—and Foundation Trader Lathan Devers head for Trantor in a desperate attempt to stop Riose before he succeeds in destroying the Foundation.
In this case, it’s entirely possible that a Second Foundationer nudged the Emperor Cleon II to recall Riose when Barr and Devers had been unable to.)
And although it provides the climax of this particular story, it was an unfortunate corner that Asimov wrote himself into, because it pretty much destroys any real conflict in future stories—the Foundation cannot lose, no matter what.
