Born into a hard working, prosperous, trader family, Naraal and his sister were taught the importance of making coin work for them. They both spent many hours with their parents in warehouses and on board ships, examine the quality of goods, learning to spot valuable items from the general ones in a blink of an eye. Both were proud of character, but Naraal was less likely than his sister to consider the welfare of any others. 

When he was fourteen, his sister ran away to avoid a planned marriage with a member of a more noble house. He joined in the search for her, but it was reported she had jumped into a sea storm rather than be taken back. He was never quite the same after, becoming more ruthless, though he was never cruel for crueltys sake. 

Naraal wants to make good in the World. He wants to be among those giving the orders, not taking them. To that end he has sometimes worked with slavers and spy masters. His loyalty is to himself, though he will be loyal to those who pay him well, and further his own aims. 

He has a particular hatred for the elven ship 'Uinenlinde' and her captain, Gaerion. Other than that, members of all races are much the same to him. If they get in his way, he will remove them.
