Captain Rrades

Sea-Rose Proud Captain

Rrades is a pirate captain operating near the isle of Lleja in Cajena.   Her main targets are merchants ships sailing from Utre and directed towards Ẽhas or Adhis, usually trading arnakian glass.   She often recruits promising scoundrels from the closest cities to power her traffics. Some of them serve on her ship, the Sea-rose, a barquentine, for most of their lives, whereas others remain (or go back) to towns to act as useful contacts. She prides herself on sending her best sailors to serve under the pirate leader himself, Çidrãis Çkamas.   Rumour has it she has built and now rules a secret base in the uninhabited isle of Lleja.  

Mental characteristics

Accomplishments & Achievements

Those who do not know her may think her main achievement was becoming a respected pirate captain.   She amassed a conspicuous fortune during the years, enough to buy several ships, not just her barquentine. One might as well image this is her most significant accomplishment.   When asked, she always answers she prides herself the most on sending her best sailors to serve on the pirate leader's ships. She found him so many seamen that now Çidrães expects her to keep sending them.   Be it her hard training or a keen eye for talent, there must be something beyond sheer luck. It almost seems her work is not to fight the league or steal treasures, but to train new pirates for Çidrães.   She looks at her subordinates has sons and daughters, and she is proud when they accomplish something, like being accepted under the leader's command. This aspect of her business is so prominent she calls herself the proud captain of the Sea-Rose.  

Morality & Philosophy

Rrades believes taking action is the key to a fulfilling life. She's not evil nor dangerous and does not like to take prisoners or kill people. She assaults ships for money since she needs it to manage her businesses.   Her ultimate goal is, in her words, to «make Cajena stronger, independent on neighbours, at least in military matters».   The archipelago has a shortage of cultivable lands and already needs to import large quantities of food from the Sun Desert Kingdom and the Free Lands.   She believes Cajena should be strong enough to stand against the Empire alone. Cajenian people already did it during the last war. The pirates and the league joined their forces to fight off the invasion, with a little help from their neighbours.   Rrades claims next time it won't be that easy, since the Empire will have circuitation of energy on its side. But she still believes Cajena can resist if they actively (and preemptively) sabotage the enemy.   The league's ways are too slow and timid to be effective, so she decided to take the matter into her own hands. She is currently thinking of a way to send some of her contacts in the Empire to investigate.
