Gothah is a seasoned privateer operating out of the Gulf of Vidora, a man who has learned how to survive in waters claimed by both crowns and criminals. He sails under the loose authority of the Pirate’s Guild, where his reputation rests on competence and restraint rather than spectacle. Crews respect him because he pays fairly, keeps his word, and brings ships home. Rivals respect him because crossing him rarely ends well.
What sets Gothah apart is trust. He is one of the few figures in that world whom King Steinar will employ directly, not publicly, but deliberately. That trust was earned through years of discretion and delivery. Gothah understands the value of silence. He completes dangerous and delicate work without leaving loose ends, and he does not trade in rumor or credit. When royal interests intersect with guild business, Gothah navigates the overlap carefully, serving neither blindly and betraying neither carelessly.
Though he stands outside formal authority, Gothah proves again and again that allegiance does not require a uniform. He chooses his commitments, and once chosen, he honors them fully. He does not take contracts lightly, and he does not abandon them when conditions turn unfavorable. That reliability makes him valuable to those who cannot afford failure.
Resourceful and well connected, Gothah maintains contacts across ports, guild houses, and court corridors, yet he never lingers longer than necessary. He appears when his skills are required, completes the task with quiet efficiency, and withdraws without ceremony. More honorable than his profession suggests, Gothah occupies a narrow space between outlaw and ally, a man defined not by the flag he flies, but by the choices he makes and the lines he refuses to cross.
