Rehele Odred
Chairman of the Westbound Star Company
My father and his father before him have been shepherding people back and forth along the old trails long before I took over this company. They gave the Westbound Star the reputation it has today; successful, safe and law-abiding. They saved lives, represented Ghal Pelor with honor and did honorable business. That's not going change with this job. Yes, it's bigger than anything we've done before but that doesn't me we can't do it. This settlement is worth rising to the occasion for. We're helping to forge the future so all you naysayers, cowards, and cutthroats need to harden the hell up or get out because the journey starts tomorrow!
The Odred name is famous in Baradrad for it's the name attached to the founding of the city itself. It is still one of the great houses in the city of Necromancers and it commands both respect and loyalty. However, not every member of a great house chooses to be part of the games played for power, influence and control of the desert kingdom. Such was the case with Rehele's family who left behind the politics and necromantic pursuits of their homeland for the greener lands of Ghal Pelor. Her family joined with other Baradradi in Ghal Pelor; acclimating in some ways and holding true to their traditions in other ways.
Her family became somewhat famous among the small Baradradi community in Ghal Pelor for the long, perilous journey they made through the Scorch and the Balmoran Plains. It was a bold and direct path that no other Baradradi had attempted before; most preferred to take barges along the coast and pay their way from there. They became expert wagon masters and that expertise is what led her family to form the Westbound Star Company
Rehele traveled back and forth along the ancient trails built by the old Concordance many centuries earlier and that's where she mastered her skills as a fighter, tracker, ranger and merchant. Her grandfather, father and uncles taught her everything they knew about the western trails and so when disaster struck and leadership fell to her she was fully prepared for the responsibility.
Though many do not share the same faith in her. There are those in her company that felt leadership should have been passed on to someone else. The more mercenary-minded under employ feel she favors the reputation of the company and Ghal Pelor over profits. These malcontents would rather see the Westbound Star transform into a company of swords-for-hire rather than adhere to its founding values. So far, Rehele and her supporters have been able to quash dissent and keep the business inline with her grandfather's vision but that could change in a moment should an unforeseen accident befall Rehele.
