About Your character: Dante is the youngest son of Grand Duchess Mariela Borgaza and Grand Duke Matías Borgaza. He grew up with dreams of adventure and stories of the sea. The boy performed admirably in the more studious subjects the tutors taught him but were he really excelled was in close combat. Even at a young age the boy was lightning fast and stronger than he looked which quickly earned him the nickname 'The Viper'. Besides combat he also proved skillful in navigation and other sea- and ship related tasks such as reading maps, tying knots and other such matters. It was clear he had made his mind about what he wanted to do. His father sent him away to work on a prestigious ship when he was a young lad which is basically the Borgaza version of squiring. Because of this even though he is young Dante has traveled to many different places. When he was 16 he rose to the rank of First Mate aboard the famous ship Ghost, a ship that escorted prestigious cargo belonging to the kingdom and protected other ships from pirates. The boy saw plenty of combat and his already deadly skill with a sword grew even more. Eventually he was made Captain of the Ghost when it's previous Captain died in an ambush. Since that fateful day Dante has been living the glorious life, traveling all over the place, getting into fights and duels, drinking and sleeping around. And now it all came crashing down because he has to marry to stop the in-fighting amongst the noble Houses. Nevertheless, Dante is determined to make his family proud and will gladly marry someone if that is what it takes.

The House Borgaza

GM:

A rowdy and excitable bunch, the Borgaza's are commanders of The Crown's naval forces and in general are charged with shipping cargo. The sea is in their blood, they don't enjoy being on land for too long. They have the best relationship with House Von Roehm and don't mind House Liddel. House Borgaza tolerates House Wyndham, and they think House DeHaviland to be stuck up and snooty.

The region under the rule of House Borgaza, a peninsula located in the most southern part of Breiton, protruding like a trident into the vast and tempestuous seas that surround it. The landmass is rugged and mountainous, with jagged peaks and deep valleys carving through the landscape. It is crisscrossed by fast-flowing rivers and dotted with sprawling forests, rolling hills, and vast plains.

Despite their differences, the three arms of the Trident Peninsula share a common thread of seafaring and maritime trade, with bustling ports and harbors dotting the coastline. The people of Trinacria are known for their love of the sea and their intrepid spirit, venturing out into the unknown in search of new lands, new riches, and new adventures; and all of them united beneath the banner of House Borgaza.
