Personal history
Alasten born in poverty. He is a Keldoren, the masters of the sea, a crab-like humanoid race that pides itself on its mastery of all sea born enterprises. So, he only had a small wooden boat to sustain him and his family, which it was a disgrace to a seafering people.
He, along with his family of three brothers and two sisters, were born in poverty and disgrace. So, when his father eventually died in a sea raid against other privateers, he take up the mantle of lord of the family, he became the Sea Lord of the water that his famili use.
Education
He was well educated in Keldoren culture, like all Keldoren must be. He learned from his father and mother the art of sailing, observing the star for guidance in the sea, fishing, and profesional swiming. He also learned the Keldoren art of shipbuilding and archery.
Employment
He knew that the only way up the social ladder was in the business of comerce, unlike his father wich was a privateer, part of the crew of a junk ship, part of the archer units.
He used the conections of his mother in order to procure old sea routes that were in disuse in order to smugle ilegal good in them. From spices to exotic animals, goods for magician in nations that prohibit them, refugees and idol carvings. The Sea Lords never prohibit something to buy or sell, but in the rest of the world there was always a black market for goods that the good and honest people never wanted their neighbors knew they had.
Accomplishments & Achievements
He sucesfully avoided capture from authorities around the world countles times. He started small, smugling goods in the clothes of her mother and sisters, since in a routine check nobody in their rigth mind would look under the skirt of a woman or a child.
The business grew since that, requiring expert forgeries and sailing manouvers to evade capture from local militias. He learned to bypas blockades and trick even the most cunning investigators in order to run from the law.
In time, he managed to form an empire legal for the Keldoren Sea Lords, but ilegal for anyone else. He was finally happy.
Intellectual Characteristics
He is a savy ship comander, and a eminence grise in the comerce and economic decisions of at least four human provinces. He knows almost every sea in th known world, having sailed them all. He knows a great deal of the cultures around the globe thanks to his trips and has talked and shared ideas with the merchants of the world.
Only a couple times he had to engage in open sea combat, driving the ships to victory thanks to his mastery of feint retreat. Using the speed of ships to his advantage when figthing, feiting and luring the enemie into wrong paths to quickly dispach him. He is not a good soldier, he dosnt actually know how to use a sword. He uses a bow, but its very bad at it, so his strategies are to avoid direct combat and wear out the enemie with arrows or javelins.
He is adept in the art of manipulating affairs, sporting a great charisma and a good eye to read people. His only real super power is the abilitie to know the right people at the right time.
Morality & Philosophy
He is in any mean a villain, but not a good guy either. He only does what he must to survive. He sees his busines as complety legal and fair, holding a grudge against goverments and moral codes that prohibit something. Why your god is good when he dosnt let you have a beer or fuck who you want? The god of his people, the Purple Octopus, has no say in the merchants guild, because he wanted them to be free and prosper. Religion for him of course has a very important place in politics, but not in business.
He is more of a product of his culture, and the friction that said culture has with others.
He never killed nor stealed from anybody, because in his mind he is a merchant, not a thief. He only sells weird and exotic goods, not harmfull things.
He considers himself a philanthrope, even helping refugees during humanitarian crisis and relocating them in safe harbours.
Personality Characteristics

Later, he had to atend the responsabilities of the empire he had created, providing honest work for hundreds of peoples, so he simply cannot quit, even if he wants.
