Ifiye Ndwabbe

Only a handful of people in the Attamat Islands know that Ifiye Ndwabbe even exists. This unassuming woman looks like nothing more than a commoner, the wife of a reasonably well-off fisherman, perhaps. In actual fact, she is the current spymaster for the Whisperers League, the innocuously-named order of spies and informants cultivated through Jonas Grills's long efforts to enhance the efficiency of the Attamat piracy machine. In theory, it is her responsibility to oversee every single piece of information fed into the League, determine the usefulness of each, and then report directly to Grills on which ships in the region will be the most profitable prizes.
This approach was feasible when the Whisperers League was first formed, and only had a few dozen informants scattered throughout the islands. Today, however, the League receives hundreds, sometimes thousands, of reports each day, and Ndwabbe employs a veritable army of merchants and traders to evaluate most of them. Only the most potentially profitable reports make their way to her desk, and she in turn makes the final recommendations personally to Grills. Obviously, this makes her one of the most powerful people in the archipelago. In addition to these mundane duties, Ndwabbe is responsible for authorizing and overseeing the recruitment of new members of the Whisperers League. She supervises research, and is generally responsible for authorizing specific missions on the part of Whisperers League operatives (though in actual practice she usually lets the regional chief for the area authorize most routine tasks). Her canny mercantile abilities, combined with her not-inconsiderable thaumaturgical talents, make her a force to be reckoned with.
