Captain Kyr Westwind Born in Biafra, the son of a prominent airship pilot and a “comfort woman” that the man fell in love with. As a result, Kyr has a strong opposition to legal slavery and was a vocal (and perhaps more, he’s not telling at the moment) protestor of the BNMLA. Following in his father’s footsteps, he has gained an excellent reputation among the captains of the Biafra National Airship Company as a competent leader who places ship and crew over his own interests.

He became the partial owner of the Higher Aspiration and took it along with a group of traders to Wallacia when disaster hit. While traveling through an ash storm the convoy was attacked by pirates, the fighting was heavy and cost the lives of the Higher Aspiration’s crew and badly wounded Kyr. Absolved of responsibility in the aftermath, he was left to hire on a new crew for the zeppelin at Wallacia… the characters are this crew.

Though technically the captain, Kyr tends to give his crew a lot of leeway, only asking for help in maintaining and flying the ship (which conviently allows for a good “free trader” campaign). Though technically still in the employ of the Biafra National Airship Company certain conditions (see below) give him a lot of leeway. Though fully recovered physically from the pirate incident, he has a strong fear of ash storms and is extremely uncomfortable and terse when flying through one.
