I like it, it's nice to see a character who shies away from combat and focuses on other aspects such as business and politics. He does seem a tad bit cliché as a manipulative senator-type character, so I think it might be interesting to add some more traits that definitively set him apart from the trope. Maybe be legitimately compassionate about a specific positive thing, having a weak spot for something, or having such a strong conviction about a specific ideal that he'd be willing to die for it despite his usual cowardly nature. Those are just some suggestions though and of course you're free to do as you wish with the character.
Aside from that, I think the character is good. Maybe we could RP sometime, if our characters ever had the chance to cross paths.
