Basmajian Arras is the Baron of Asperd Isle in the Dominion of the Sea Barons. This makes him, by default, the Lord High Admiral and de facto leader of the entire Sea Baronies. He uses this position to his advantage to gain wealth and political favors. He is generally of the opinion that the Sea Barons should not get involved in anyone else's problems, which makes him well liked in certain circles, particularly in Rel Astra.[1]

Description

Appearance

Basmajian is forty years old and stands 5'8". He has hazel eyes and "coppery fair hair."[1]

Personality

The Lord High Admiral is not particularly charismatic, but is quite intelligent (Int score of 16[1]) and applies this to solving problems of rulership.

Equipment and possessions

The Admiral has five magic items that he wields regularly: chain mail +4, an ornately bejeweled longsword +3, a ring of swimming since he can't otherwise swim, a ring of free action, and gauntlets of ogre power.[1]
