^^ I actually got the name of Furc' first off which has me chuffed and now brings my precious characters to: Burcu, Emer, Qiu and Regent. Regent is my only historical one!

John 'Regent' Morningsea is a rice and sugar merchant who served briefly during the French/Indian wars- he only caught the begining of the American Revolution, his escape to England giving him the limp when he got on the wrong side of a drunken Provost guard. Now he peddles his supplies in Furcadia.
