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 learned him everything that he knew.

Tragic loss
Years later on the Floating Betty (Matthias' merchant ship at the time), when they where in the middle of the Sea of Etscharien Matthias died. 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 where close to not existing at that time, but that changed quickly.
