Anders Solmor

From Wizard of the Coast's Ghosts of Saltmarsh

Councilman Anders Solmor

Anders Solmor is the youngest person ever elected to the Saltmarsh town council. After the untimely death of his mother, Petra Solmor last year, he was catapulted into the world of business and has become something of a local hero for his commercial success, handsome pay, and youthful ambition. While widely supported by the fishing industry, the smugglers don't particularly like his opposition to their illicit actions and his hatred for the slave trade.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

Never knowning his father (who died at sea before he was born), Anders was raised by his mother, Petra, as a somewhat sheltered nobleboy. As he became an adolescent, he began to make some forays into business, but always defered to Petra's wisdom. However, in 213 IA, Petra died of a mysterious illnes. Because of this, Anders has taken over the family trading and fishing business. Under his ambitious leadership, it has greatly prospered. In the absence of his mother, the Solmor family butler Skerrin Wavechaser has been of immense aid to the now orphaned businessman.

Morality & Philosophy

Anders believes strongly in the power of freedom. It is where happiness comes from. As such, he wants to make Saltmarsh prosper so it's inhabitants might have the economic freedom and opportunity to take their life in whatever directions they may choose. This also makes him strongly opposed to the slave trade and, by extension, the Sea Princes

The memory of his mother is deeply central to Anders. Her sense of responsibility and the standards and beliefs she imparted on the boy shape almost every decision he makes, and they inform his worldview and goals.

History

Anders and Eda are co-councilmemebers, and given their shared sense of community in Saltmarsh, frequently in agreement. They are not without differences, however. Councilwoman Oweland is painfully aware of Ander's youth, and Councilman Solmor sees Eda and her Traditionalists as too afraid of change, holding the community back.

History

Both Captain Fireborn and Councilman Solmor share a distaste for smugglers and disgust for the Sea Princes, which brings them together on many aspects of law. They don't always agree about how the community ought to expand, though; Eliander thinks Saltmarsh ought to become a useful tool for the Emperor, while Anders believes the town should be free to prosper in their own right.

History

Councilman Solmor thinks Gellan Primewater is a little too disinterested in the Council, but otherwise greatly respects how he gives his wealth back to the community, and in some ways thinks of him as a model for how to be a successful businessman. Councilman Primewater, meanwhile, sees Solmor as an young upstart who threatens his business - both the public and private elements of it.

History

Manistrad Copperlocks and Anders Solmor, in some ways, have the same goal: expanding the town of Saltmarsh and helping it prosper. The problem is that Copperlocks is much more interested in Imperial and Mining interests in the region, while Solmor wishes to expand through the more typical fishing industry and prioritizes the people.

History

Skerrin Wavechaser has been Anders Solmor's family butler since Master Solmor was a baby. In the absence of Anders' father, Skerring helped raise the boy, forging a deep bond between the two. When Petra Solmor - Anders' mother - died in 213, Skerrin was there to comfort, look after, and advise the young businessman-turned-council member.
