Cephon the Corsair

"A line of nervous looking sailors assembled in the hall, each clutching a small chest of gold. A heavyset man in a thick overcoat and tricorn hat walked past them and opened the double doors. 'The Lady will see you now.', he said with a soft chuckle.

On a throne of harpoons, driftwood, and shipyard scraps sat the unmistakable form of Queen-of-Fathoms, Cephon, who sprawled over her throne, idly cleaning her flintlock. The sailors, one by one, approached the triton woman and with a bow offered her their chests. She eyed every offering before nodding and dismissing her vassals. One sailor approached with a larger chest, covered in gilded filigree, he offered this one with a gleaming smile. Cephon raised an eyebrow and sat up straight.

'And what is this you've brought me?' she said coolly.
'My queen, we plundered a galleon headed for Marhaven, she was rife with gold! We saved the finest for you, of course.'

Cephon grinned. 'I am impressed, captain! This gift is accepted with gratitude and commendation. Whitlock! See this man and his crew are rewarded.' she said as the heavyset man bowed his head and patted the grinning sailor on the back as he was escorted out. From behind the throne slithered a seasnake that coiled itself around Cephon's hand.

'Find where they're keeping the rest of it, Shark. I'd hate to see their plunder stolen, so I should hold it for safekeeping, yes?'"

Queen-of-Fathoms, Cephon the Corsair is the current ruler of Meridian. A triton woman of great martial skill, she was an infamous pirate in her youth. Her crew preyed upon great treasure ships and were renowned for outmaneuvering the armed escorts that protected the heavy vessels. As she came of age she became the captain of her own heavily modified frigate which would become the scourge of the Aesteran coast for years to come: Hath No Fury.
Eventually she was approached by the previous King-of-Fathoms, Jeshuriit Vess and offered a position on the Captain's Council, which she accepted. When Lord Vess relinquished the Captain's Seat, he recommended Captain Cephon to replace him. By unanimous vote she took stewardship of Meridian...
Cephon is tactful, sly, and surprisingly reserved for a pirate of such stature. Though her demeanor gives the triton an air of sophistication... Cephon maintains the title of undefeated drinking champion among the pirates of Meridian.
