Lom Zwai

Lom Zwai is the only outlander currently accorded a place on the Jeyahan Council. Originally from Ziu Moa, Lom grew up in a pirate family. Hiding his background, he was accorded a place on one of the Emperor's robotic battleships because of his seamanship and his abilities as a technician. Eventually Lom found himself in a position to advise the captain on choosing crewmembers. As a result of his privileged position, he was able to sign on many of his old companions. Once they learned how to hack the analytical engines controlling the roboship, the pirates overthrew the captain and the loyal crew and fled with the ship.
With Lom and his crew ravaging their way back around the Seu Kali seas, the Emperor sent dozens of ships after the defectors. Unwilling to face the Emperor's wrath, they chose to make Jeyahan their new base. From Jeyahan they use their roboship to raid along the coast of Turlona and the Kaspari Empire. Occasionally, they sail north to the Veldt, but they usually stay closer to their base, since traders from Seu Kal sometimes make their way through that area and they do not want the emperor to hear of their presence. The roboship has become a familiar sight in Jeyahan's harbor, and the crew, most of whom lived in stilt houses back in Ziu Moa, have adapted well to the city.
Lom Zwai is a small, handsome man with long black hair and intense, dark brown eyes. He prefers to wear silk robes rather than shirt and pantaloons. Though very intelligent, Lom is loud, arrogant, audacious, and stubborn. He will not admit that there is any feat which he cannot perform. Because of this, he can be goaded into agreeing to try some fairly outrageous stunts rather than be called a coward or a braggart. He was given a place on the council because he convinced them that with the special abilities of his ship, he can potentially cause massive damage to any fleet sent against the corsairs.
