Anders Solmor
Councilor Elect (a.k.a. The Fisher Prince)
Overview
A young man, and the youngest ever to be elected to the council, Anders inherited his family's fleet of fishing boats after the untimely death of his mother Petra. She was a beloved and respected figure in town, a former councilor herself.
Personality
Brash and inexperienced, Anders makes up for it with his optimism and ambition. He is dedicated to following in his late mother's footsteps, every decision Anders makes is guided by his desire to live up to Petra's standards.
Anders sees potential for victory in every challenge, profit enough for all in every deal. Too young to temper his views with a realistic assessment of the risks, he believes that by being willing to do more than most he can help deliver happiness and security to all of Saltmarsh.
Beliefs
Anders has taken a very loud and staunch position against pirates and smugglers. He believes there is no room for offenses to the Marsh or Crown. His ideas are received a little better than most because of his current actions, but still sit heavy with locals.
Seething with rage, he blames the Sea Princes for his mother's death after a strange gift, a curt letter, and a swift illness were connected back to them.
Endeavors
To help Anders make the choices his mother would have he relies on his family's Majordomo Skerrin Wavechaser, his dedicated Valet since birth.
Following Skerrin's sound advice, Anders' diversified the Solmor fleet to include trading vessels allowing for direct sales to new markets, thus securing lucrative contracts no one else has. With higher profits and increased demand, Anders now buys more fish than he catches but at better prices than anyone else will pay local fisherfolk.
Dubbed "The Fisher Prince" by adoring Salts, they see Anders as the embodiment of "A rising tide lifts all ships". A celebrity on the docks, appreciative Salts flock to his can-do attitude.
Skerrin's calm instructions have also kept Anders from dreaming too heavily of revenge. Instead, his Majordomo has suggested a more grand design: to punish the Sea Princes by growing Saltmarsh into an honest, prosperous, and crucial part of the Kingdom of Keoland.
