Roggerio "The" Hotaan

Roggerio Hotaan, one of the many children sired by the infamous (If short lived) Pirate Tregar Hotaan, he is the leader of the criminal group known as the Stranger's Court.

## Appearance & Character:

Roggerio is a man of thin stature, at a height of 5'10', and has lightly tanned skin and sharp brown eyes, with a fair few wrinkles starting to show on his once smooth face. He was a handsome man in his youth, still maintaining his figure and appearance as best as he can, though his black longish hair and goatee are now starting to sprout more grey hairs by the year. The Hotaan makes it a point to wear the best clothing he can at his station, normally wearing silks of green and yellow tints.

Roggerio is a man who learned much from his fathers mistakes and strengths; Where his father had been impulsive, Roggerio was patient. Tregar the man with fire in his blood, his son soon learned to have ice in his veins. But both maintained one similarity; their ruthless nature and the lengths they'll go to achieve victory.

## History:

Roggerio's earliest memories were his raising within a Lyseni brothel, or more accurately a pillow house, and being a helpful aide to the ladies (and few men) to make their lives as easy as possible in between their duties. His mother, likely a worker, was never revealed to Roggerio in his life but he soon learned of his father; Captain Tregar Hotaan, an infamous pirate. Infamous as in how he died, plucked to death by a rather large group of birds after accidentally setting himself on fire whilst attempting to board a merchant vessel.

Despite such an end, Roggerio found himself intrigued with the life of his father and over the years, made efforts to find any and all tales that pertained to his father. whilst he helped cook the books, he'd ask sailors about what they had seen and what Tregar did. Despite the various mistakes of the pirate, Roggerio understood and related his father in a symbolic way. Tregar had aspired to be free, to be the greatest at what he did and to live a good life; albeit at the cost of hundreds of merchants.

Roggerio had similar goals in life, though he preferred to keep to the shadows rather than be stuck on a boat. By the age of twenty, he left Lys and began the life of an "honest" merchant, using his local connections to get him through the doors in life. The first few years were a success, until 108 AC where his business floundered and quickly evaporated whilst he was stuck in King's Landing. The only way Roggerio had survived was by joining a local gang of city criminals, helping to cook their books and give advice on what to steal.

Surpsingly, he realise he quite enjoyed the life more than he did as a travelling merchant, happily working through his next few years as the thinker of this lowly group of criminals within the buildings they owned. Yet, he found it lacking too. His 'friends' didn't think big, didn't want to grow and in time Roggerio grew tired of such staleness. By the weeks end, Roggerio was the only one left after his gang members were unfortunately caught by the city watch after receiving an anonymous tip. Well, Roggerio and his compatriot the young man that would in time be known as The Jesting Knight.

As the years passed, the pair would rebuild what was lost in their image, slowly but surely. Numbers would grow, the coin would begin to flow freely and a group known as the Stranger's Court would take their place in the underworld of King's Landing.
