Ansen Verelli

"'...and the final stop is Nesseri, capital of Napori and my hometown don'cha know. Sight to see.'"Ansen Verelli is the now-deceased captain of the airship Mareesi.

Appearance
Ansen had thick, curly black hair and green eyes, and stood over six feet in height.

Personality
Ansen was sociable with both his crew and his passengers, and appeared to consider himself responsible for their safety as much as his own.

History
Ansen had been sailing his airship to the lands surrounding the archipelago for many years even before he was encountered by the party. His wife, Matilde, remained in Nesseri at their home in the Port district during his voyages.

It was late in the month of the Fading in 1273 when the Mareesi was bourded by the Yevelda, a vessel captained by Morag "Eel-Tongue" of a pirate faction styled as Melnark's Men. While attempting to dissuade Morag from doing harm to his passengers, Ansen was restrained and his tongue was cut out by the half-orc pirate. In the following confusion, he choked to death on his own blood as the crew and the party of adventurers o board became more concerned with their own survival than reviving him.

Morag's docking papers and his prized rapier were taken by the party. The papers were eventually given to Ailar Tallow, while the rapier was eventually restored to his wife by Benjamin Critchett.
