Over years and years, they bartered with foreign wares using the fastest of ships to populate their rocky shores. The Ganasen have the most complete charts of the Kraken Sea, capable of navigating its reefs and rocky coasts with a speed and accuracy that not even the navy can muster. The Ganasen have friends in every port, though their mercantile prowess has always garnered for them an unsavory reputation. Zaid Ganasen has done no favors to their reputation in noble circles. He was a pivotal figure in Rowan's Reckoning, smuggling in supplies to the rebellion and to King Leoric all the same. They did not suffer as greatly as the other holds, but the Ganasen fell in line all the same. When Rowan gained Phorian support, Zaid knew where the wind was blowing. His ships smuggled in Phorian troops into the Bay of Kings, and the rest was history. He has always been personable, a dealmaker, and a family man. He has tried to mold his two legitimate children in the same vein as best he can, balancing his responsibilities as a noble and a father well. Of course, the Duchess Nadira is every bit equal to her husband when it comes to mercantile arts. She is a respectable woman, having earned a reputation as the mercantile daughter of aristocratic spice traders in Valen. She manages the finances of house Ganasen, focusing less on the family and more the enterprise of their fleet.

Khalil has struggled since he was untimely ripped from his mother's womb. His mother was Zamarian, a lover of the Duke of Blackcove, and an inconvenient obstacle when Arthoria's allegiances shifted in favor of the Phorians. The engagement was called off, and the boy was shipped on a Ganasen vessel to be with his father in hopes of a better life. That better life never came. His father has never shown affection for Khalil, pawning his rearing on maids and Zaid's brother Nasir, who himself has never been able to produce a child of his own. In the years since, Khalil has been raised a servant and merchant of House Ganasen. He has a sharp wit, a warm smile, and a silver tongue. He has travelled the world over, fighting and studying the ways of Karthosian cultures to become a formidable asset for the Ganasen clan. If he were legitimate, he would outpace his younger brother as a son worthy of Zaid's affections. Alas, for now, he bides his time and now serves at his brother's behest.[/color][/justify][/cell][/row][/table][/center][center]——————————————————————————————————————————————[/center] [center][table][row][cell][img]https://i.imgur.com/0ZO0Bti.gif[/img] [img]https://i.imgur.com/EMu928q.gif[/img] [color=2e2c2c].................................................................[/color][/cell][cell][color=2e2c2c].[/color][/cell][cell][justify][sup][h3][b][color=ba8f1a]L O R D [color=2e2c2c].[/color] I M R A N[/color][/b][/h3][/sup][hr] [color=808080][sup][table][row][cell][color=ffffff][b]A G E [/b][/color] [color=2e2c2c].[/color] [i]27[/i][/cell][cell][color=2e2c2c].[/color][/cell][cell][color=ffffff][b]G E N D E R [/b][/color] [color=2e2c2c].[/color] [i]male[/i][/cell][cell][color=2e2c2c].[/color][/cell][cell][color=ffffff][b]S E X U A L I T Y [/b][/color] [color=2e2c2c].[/color] [i]pansexual[/i][/cell][/row][row][cell][color=ffffff][b]H E X C O D E [/b][/color] [color=2e2c2c].[/color] [i]#ba8f1a[/i][/cell][cell][color=2e2c2c].[/color][/cell][cell][color=ffffff][b]F C [/b][/color] [color=2e2c2c].[/color] [i]Regé-Jean Page[/i][/cell][/row][/table][/sup] [center][color=ffffff][i]• [color=2e2c2c].[/color] hedonistic [color=2e2c2c].[/color] • [color=2e2c2c].[/color] spoiled [color=2e2c2c].[/color] • [color=2e2c2c].[/color] kind [color=2e2c2c].[/color] • [color=2e2c2c].[/color] loyal [color=2e2c2c].[/color] • [color=2e2c2c].[/color] trusting [color=2e2c2c].[/color] •[/i][/color][/center] When your family are merchants of great renown with a specialty in importing fine wares, it is natural the heir of that mercantile empire has a taste for opulence. He wears the finest silks and satins, has fingers adorned in ornate jewelry with exotic gems and metals, and drinks the smoothest of wines. Some would call him spoiled, and they would be right. He is waited on hand and foot by the family's servants. That being said, he is a sociable young man. He knows how to rub shoulders with the elites, and does research to ensure he brings the proper gift for those he meets. He has his father's eye for making business personable. He aims to keep things "personable" in the capital.[/color][/justify][/cell][/row][/table][/center][center]——————————————————————————————————————————————[/center] [center][table][row][cell][img]https://i.imgur.com/OodYIvi.gif[/img] [img]https://i.imgur.com/u7EiguH.gif[/img] [color=2e2c2c].................................................................[/color][/cell][cell][color=2e2c2c].[/color][/cell][cell][justify][sup][h3][b][color=068b8c]L A D Y [color=2e2c2c].[/color] Z H A R A[/color][/b][/h3][/sup][hr] [color=808080][sup][table][row][cell][color=ffffff][b]A G E [/b][/color] [color=2e2c2c].[/color] [i]23[/i][/cell][cell][color=2e2c2c].[/color][/cell][cell][color=ffffff][b]G E N D E R [/b][/color] [color=2e2c2c].[/color] [i]female[/i][/cell][cell][color=2e2c2c].[/color][/cell][cell][color=ffffff][b]S E X U A L I T Y [/b][/color] [color=2e2c2c].[/color] [i]heterosexual[/i][/cell][/row][row][cell][color=ffffff][b]H E X C O D E [/b][/color] [color=2e2c2c].[/color] [i]#068b8c[/i][/cell][cell][color=2e2c2c].[/color][/cell][cell][color=ffffff][b]F C [/b][/color] [color=2e2c2c].[/color] [i]amita suman[/i][/cell][/row][/table][/sup] [center][color=ffffff][i]• [color=2e2c2c].[/color] cunning [color=2e2c2c].[/color] • [color=2e2c2c].[/color] adventurous [color=2e2c2c].[/color] • [color=2e2c2c].[/color] cynical [color=2e2c2c].[/color] • [color=2e2c2c].[/color] opinionated [color=2e2c2c].[/color] • [color=2e2c2c].[/color] independent [color=2e2c2c].[/color] •[/i][/color][/center] Some folks are born for the sea. Zhara feels uncomfortable without the tumbling waves of the sea rocking the ground beneath her feet. She has an intimate knowledge of sailing and the trading vessels in the employ of the Ganasen family. She is sharp witted and quick to retort to any perceived slight, and is the most capable to take over the family business among the children of Zaid. She has been sailing and serving as an uppermerchant since she was sixteen, and has earned a reputation among the sailors and merchants of the Ganasen family as the true "heir" to the family business, much to the frustration of her brothers. She wishes to find a suitable suitor to secure the family legacy, but finds it hard to relate to pompous nobles who prefer stability and security to the chaotic whims of the world beyond.[/color][/justify][/cell][/row][/table][/center] [center]____________________________________________________________________________________ —————————————————————————————————————————————————————[/center][center][h3][sup][b]N P C s [color=2e2c2c].[/color] O F [color=2e2c2c].[/color] N O T E[/b][/sup][/h3][/center] [center][table][row][cell][img]https://i.imgur.com/YF0pHoC.gif[/img] [justify][center][h3][sup][sub][b]C O R S A I R [color=2e2c2c].[/color] H A R L O W[/b][/sub][/sup][/h3][/center][hr][sup][color=808080]The best captain in the merchant fleet and personal friend and confidant to Zhara, Corsair Christopher Harlow is in the capital as a bodyguard for the Ganasen family.[/color][/sup][/justify][color=2e2c2c].................................................................[/color][/cell][cell][color=2e2c2c].[/color][/cell][cell][img]https://i.imgur.com/FDqYObK.gif[/img] [justify][center][h3][sup][sub][b]B U R S A R [color=2e2c2c].[/color] N A S I R[/b][/sub][/sup][/h3][/center][hr][sup][color=808080]Master of Coin in Aethoria, High Bursar Nasir Ganasen is the youngest brother of Zaid and is a stalwart stooge of the Duke of the Lost Coast.
