TALE: The son of an Antillian trader and a farmer's daughter, Rey disliked farming and opted to follow his father's profession. However before he was twelve summers old his entire family was killed by pirates on an ill-fated mercantile sailing trip, while Rey was kept to be sold as a slave when it became clear he had no stomach for sailing. He was sold in Ahyf but his new owner was part of a caravan ambushed by outlaws of the Vale but a month later, and he spent his teenage years working for bandits (Marnt's Band, Carchimish) who admired his quick wits and hands, and quicker tongue. But the rewards for banditry were too meager and too risky for Rey, so he has opted to follow his own path, hopefully to riches. Also wants to make a name for himself in Ahyf.

Background: Antillian trader
Trinket: signet ring of an imaginary noble house. Rey passes himself off as an exiled noble from far Mysk, who was exiled after slaying a rival in a duel. 
Personality Trait: Cool-headed, practical, patient 
Ideal: Money, so he can live a life of luxury and ease 
Bond: Has done work for Lord Vilius of Theber in the past, though Vilius distrusts him, especially around his daughters, and recently sent him to Bratanis in attempt to recruit Lady Aeschela to Lord Vilius' planned anti-Yusan alliance. Instead he seduced(?) Lady Aeschela and 'liberated' her valuable black pearl necklace...
Flaw: Lazy, untrustworthy, hedonistic
Appearance: medium height (5'10") and slim build, long dark brown hair, neat moustache and beard, blue eyes. Takes pains to keep out of the sun whenever possible, in order to keep his skin white and more noble-like.


Property: 6-room townhouse in Selatine, renovated 22/12/4445 BCCC.

Lost Slave Girls (5)

4 Left by Rey in the stables at the Temple-Tomb of Belaras, 3 subsequently sold on to Ayhf slavers (late M4 4446?). Alli kept at Temple-Tomb. Lucy went with Rey to Thusia, after leaving with Orph the Bard ended up a slave in Ahyf too.

1. & 2. The Striker Twins, Annabel & Ivy - Temple-Tomb of Belaras > Ayhf.
Of Yggsburgh, 2715 AUC/YY 99
Products of a privileged and carefree upbringing as the daughters of Yggsburgh's chief banker Oswald Striker, they still seem rather dazed and bemused at their new status.


3. Cirella of Rallu. Temple-Tomb of Belaras > Ayhf.
Cirella, ex noble lady of Rallu, ex serving wench at Redeye Inn
A nubile former serving wench at Redeye Inn until purchased by Rey 8/12/4445. Once a high-born lady of Rallu's House Whitehawk, after the death of her father Octavius she was sold into slavery by her wicked stepmother and three ugly step-sisters. Dreams of a prince charming who will rescue her. Rey does a passable imitation.  The sale of Beverly to Kogor 2/12/4445 left Cirella as the only slave wench at the Inn, leaving her quite literally run off her feet, and she was glad to be acquired by the charming Lord Reynard.

4. Alli the Handmaid of Rallu. 

Temple-Tomb of Belaras serving slave.
Former maid to Lady Lucretia Alamsor. A trained masseuse.
Alli the handmaid, a gift from Bjornalf Brighteyes



Lucy Prentice - was at Thusia. 'Philosopher' (Scientist) of CHER, Cambridge, Earth 2009.
Where most of Rey's acquisitions fall eagerly into his arms, Lucy had proven rather reluctant, eventually giving in... 12/2/46 Lucy declared her intention to stay in Thusia as a free woman. She  assisted Lady Meda for awhile before running off with Orph the Bard, only to be sold back into slavery as an Ahyf coin girl.
