Raeta Vesare

Part of Characters of Otheia
Raeta Vesare is a privateer, abolitionist and Admiral in the employ of the Aslock Warm Sea Company.
=== Early Life and Enslavement ===
Born the son of a sea captain in the village of Elaisefa, in the realm of Aslock in Otheia, in the year 340, he first went to sea as a young teenager. In 358, he was captured by Lirei pirates while working on a whaler, and was held as a galley slave for 4 years. He noted a particularly cruel master, Rai Lo'bren, of the Northern Ashani Trading Company, unto whom he would vow to kill for the treatment of slaves under his command. He would be freed in a prisoner exchange with the Warm Sea Company, and in gratitude he would sign on as a common sailor. 
=== Warm Sea Company Employment ===
Having joined the WSC, he would rapidly rise through the ranks. After a voyage of five years, he would return from the Warm Sea as the captain of the vessel Roving Merchant, and would continue to rise through the ranks.
In 370 he would set out on another voyage south as the newly promoted Vice-Admiral of the WSC Fleet. Returning home in 372, he would impress the executives of the company with his leadership abilities, and would again be promoted to Admiral of a new squadron of warships, which would defend the convoys as it passed through the Warm Sea.
=== Present Day ===
Currently, Vesare is commander of the Eastern Station, which protects WSC shipping in the eastern quarter of the Warm Sea. Despite intermittent conflicts with the NATC, he has yet to encounter his enemy Lo’bren, though they have come close on occasion. He is primarily concerned with fighting off pirate attacks on the WSC’s convoys and it’s other holdings. Due to his years as a slave, he is a well-known and outspoken advocate for abolitionism in the area, going so far as to free slaves from any pirate ship he encounters.
Aside from protecting the convoys he is assigned to, his goals include the complete destruction of the NATC, the eradication of the overseas slave trade in the south, and the slow death of Rai Lo’bren.
He is in command of the Eastern Station, and commands a powerful squadron of ships, which he commands from the Weapon of Artsby.
