I purchased it, and had the blue sails custom made. I am a merchant yes, and no I do not work for a company. I am a private trader that seeks out special goods for my clients, mainly rare plants and animals from far corners of the globe. For the past few months I've been doing the normal trade routes in the Western Sea. You know, Marathi, Osiris, and a dozen other smaller ports. Not glamorous work, but it pays.

This scar is a reminder. It was on my first voyage as a cabin boy. I was twelve, and we were going into the "free cities." The only reason that they are called free is because they are not part of any kingdom. They are nearly lawless, and slavery is rampant. You could say that they are free only to those who can afford them.
Anyway, the captain had this fool idea that was money to be made in these "untapped markets," it didn't quite work out that way. We were captured by the slavers, almost as soon as we landed.

Make a long story short, we escaped, but I received this scar as a token.

A port in every storm [laughs] I do enjoy the pleasures of the flesh whenever I can, but no, no wife. The only family I have is my father in Osiris, though I haven't spoken with him in years.

I would consider myself to be a man of honor, yes. If being honorable means to do as you see to be morally right.

You think that I would own slaves after almost becoming one myself? Are you calling me a hypocrite? The crew rows when the need arises, that is after all what I pay them for.

If I could, I would return to the free cities and liberate every slave there, but that is a task that is impossible for one man to execute alone.

I am a mortal man, I have no tricks or magic to stand behind, i have only my brain, my sword, and the men who stand with me.
