History
The Widow of the Waterfront was once a former pleasure slave taught in Yunkai the ways of the seven sighs she was purchased by a Triarch named Vogarro. Vogarro fell in love with her though and freed her and caused a scandal by marrying her. Vogarro owned piers, storehouses, brokered cargoes, changed money and insured shipowners against the hazards of the sea. When he died she took over his business. She is called (though never to her face) Vogarro's Whore. Upon being free she had the slave tatoo's on her cheeks cut off and scar tissue covers her cheeks.
