Tessa Keltow
Tessa Keltow, Anchor of Salve, didn’t seize power—she drifted into it like a shadow on the water, patient and inevitable. Once the wife of a canal enforcer, she spent years watching how Salve truly functioned—not by law, but by currents of trade, favor, and quiet violence. When her husband was murdered in a dispute over smuggling debts, she didn’t grieve—she adapted. She followed the flow of money, secrets, and whispers until she was the one deciding where the currents led.
Now, as Anchor of Salve, she keeps the district running—not clean, but functional. She rules not with brute force but with quiet control, balancing the interests of smugglers, laborers, and the desperate workers scraping by along The Wound’s canals.
Shrewd, Relentless, Pragmatic
