Iiro

Ropemaker and Hand-Off for Smugglers

Iiro was born and raised in Bornheim, by Fisherfolk. Like most fishers his family made money on the side for several of the smugglers in the city. As a child he worked in “Uncle” Warren's shop. His uncle was a Master Ropemaker and taught Iiro the trade. In 459 he was approached by a man representing the vulfgrau_trading_house. By then he was a Journeyman roper and was expected to inherit his uncle's shop as his uncle had to surviving children.

The next year his Master Warren was killed as he was leaving the tavern. Iiro inherited the shop and within a few days was accepted into the Ropemakers Guild, who was in Bornheim negotiated a new contract with the Merchant's Guild. Iiro is an affable man with short-cropped light-brown hair and dark eyes. His skill is well-known in the city, but rumors persist about the fortuitous circumstances that gave rise to his present station.

When not at his shop or home, Iiro can often be found at the Rusty Anchor Tavern.

Oswald visited Iiro's shop and made contact with him. Oswald works with the Vulfgrau Trading House and planned on using Iiro to begin creating a dockside gang. Even with his reputation as a freebooter and pirate it was difficult to take the hashan seriously. Three existing gangs controlled the docks and would fight for every scrap of territory.
