Selu (Say Loo)
Selu Yan'oh is a member of the Yan'oh race on the planet Neban.The Yan'oh are the second most populous species on the planet after the Neb'oh. Unlike the sea dwelling Neb and Avian Thos the Yan'oh are amphibious, with long serpantine lower bodies.
Selu was born a member of a enslaved family under Thos rule and eventually joined the young Neb'oh rebel fighters Phey'zu Sa'la and Usa Tsudruma in the fight to end the tyranny of the Thos'oh.
Selu has spent her considerably long life mainly as a pirate, criminal overlord, smuggler and very occassionally legitmate buisnessman and politician.
After the war for Neban's independence Phey'zu chose to leave the planet to pursue opportunities within the newly formed Iotian Empire. Selu stayed on Neban and helped the newly elected Premier Usa rebuild and govern. Upon the death of the first Premier, Selu joined Phey'zu, now going by the Iotian version of his name, Peytov , off planet.
Since then Selu has become one of the richest private citizens in the Expanse, wielding political power in both The Iotian Empire, The Federation and the Consortium.
Selu is outwordly loud, crass, overtly sexual and confident. However this masks a keen intellect and shrewdness that has kept her alive and thriving for centuries when others have failed.
