The Ambitious People of Port Sutao and on the Laughing Men Islands

Chong Ho: "The man who abandoned his filial duty, but otherwise was the gentlest of men."

Thirty Claws: "the Pirate Chieftain who became a loyal Imperial Admiral, shot dead on the street."

Jung Hwa: "the Pirate Chieftain who also became the Imperial Admiral, loyal to Thirty Claws' memory alone."

Dian, Gao and Huo: "the three sons of the two Admirals above, with Huo being the best, Dion - the quietest, and Gao - the loudest of the lot."

Prefect Bu Liang: "the scholar bored with his many successes"

Serene Mother Weynala: "the Mother Superior of the faeries, the firebrand rather than the queller."

Acolyte, then Sister Sayewa: "the young and ambitious faery, and the self-proclaimed friend to Yu."

Mother Xho: "an old dear who randomly points and screams curses. The pirates love her."
