Capa Barsavi

Vencarlo Barsavi
Vencarlo Barsavi is capa of the Right People and the undisputed ruler of Camorr’s underworld. Once a teacher of rhetoric, Barsavi fled Tal Verrar after being caught running an illegal betting shop and made for Camorr, where he murdered the thirty capa haphazardly ruling the city’s innumerable gangs and declared himself as prime ruler.

He then created the Secret Peace in exchange for governing parts of Camorr, such as the Dregs and the Snare, and promptly became the most powerful individual in the city, second to the Duke. He is ruthless and astute with an unpredictable temper, but extremely sentimental towards his family, especially Nazca.

As Capa, Barsavi takes a tithe of 2 in 10 from all his Garristas, paid on a weekly basis.

Rite of Passage
Barsavi asks his potential pezons to drink a tumbler of rum which contains a sharks tooth, his personal sigil. They must drink it all in one without cutting themselves on the tooth. No-one has ever completed the task without a little blood - once finished, "So it is that you are bonded to me by blood Pezon. Welcome to the Right People, do not disappoint me"

Nazca Barsavi
Nazca, as the youngest child and only daughter of the most powerful criminal and second most powerful man in her home city, has a duality to her. On the one hand, she is used to being respected, almost to the point of being nobility in the underworld. This had made her imperious and self-confident (almost to the point of narcissism, though more in the sense that she's amused by her own cleverness than true vanity). However, as the youngest child and the girl, she is used to her brothers upstaging her. This means that despite her self-assurance, she tends to prefer to accomplish things with planning and patience. In the same sense, accomplishing an end is its own reward, and she has very little need for outside approval.
