Wassel

Wassel, last name unknown, is a Friholmian pirate who operates around the coasts of Sparwood. Right now he is mostly known as the Viceroy of Friholm.

Early life
Little is known about the early life of Wassel. He was abandoned by his parents not long after birth. He was then found in the middle of a busy market place and taken in by a sailor named Matthias. He was a sailor and merchant in the mid 40's, going from port to port, trading goods. Matthias had no wife, never had one. He had only his ship and a couple of crewmembers, who were his friends. Matthias looked to Wassel as a son of his own.

Living on a ship and raising a child wasn't easy, but that didn't stop him from trying. Matthias thaught him everything that he knew.

Tragic loss
Life was good, years went by on the Floating Betty (Matthias' merchant ship at the time). They sailed though the ocean, buying and selling goods. But on a bright day, somewhere in the middle of the Sea of Etscharien, Matthias fell down unconcious, and later died in Wassels arms. Wassel was around 16 at the time and the loss of his father was very hard on him. The reason of death was most likely old age and the tough conditions on the sea.

Chosen by his crewmembers Wassel became the captain of the Floating Betty. His leadership skills were close to not existing at that time, but that changed quickly.
