Capa Meriosa

Capa Meriosa

Capa Meriosa has run Bastion Bay for close to 20 years and her guiding hand has seen the former cesspool of violence and criminality become a bustling and (relatively) safe port town. She is a statuesque woman, clad in a long sleeveless coat, tri-corner hat, colourful scarves, and knee high leather boots. Meriosa is assured and confident in everything she does and doesn’t take kindly to threats.
Bold and Merciless. Growing up aboard a ship filled with rowdy pirates engrained a hardness in Meriosa that one would struggle to find in many other people. After the first few men who threatened her wound up floating in the ocean with daggers in their necks the rest of the crew got the message. It was not just the violence that gave the sailors pause but the cold ferocity with which it had been dealt out. When Meriosa grew to an age where she thought she was fit to have her own ship none were surprised to wake up one morning to find the former captain swinging by his throat from the mainsail, and Meriosa perched nearby with his hat balanced atop her head at a jaunty angle.
Family Matters. Meriosa watched her father fight and bleed for other men his whole life and gain nothing from it but a sword in the belly. Everything in her life has been focused on being the person holding the sword, and taking a ship for herself was only the first step towards that. Even claiming Bastard Bay as her own and transforming it into Bastion Bay is nothing more than a stepping stone to Meriosa - she wants power and she means to swap the tricorner hat on her head for a golden crown. The lifespan of the elves means she is not afraid to play the long game, but she’d rather it happen sooner than later.
Meriosa has the statistics listed in her stat block.
Ideal. No-one is going to give you anything, you have to fight for everything you earn. Bond. Bastion Bay is mine by right and I will do everything I can to keep it. Flaw. Deals are made to be broken.
