The Widow of the Waterfront, also known as Vogorro's Whore, is a former slave. She is a very old woman and runs several docks, piers and shipping lanes in a section of Volantis.
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 of Volantis named Vogarro. Vogarro fell in love with her and freed her, raising a great scandal by marrying her. Vogarro owned piers, storehouses, brokered cargoes, changed money and insured shipowners against the hazards of the sea. When he died 32 years ago she took over his business. She had to sell his manse because no freeman way live within the Black Wall. She took up residence at the Merchant's House.
She is called (though never to her face) Vogarro's Whore.
Appearance
Upon being free she had the slave tattoos on her cheeks cut off and scar tissue covers her cheeks. She was old her white hair was so thin the pink of her scalp showed through. There is something reptilian about her eyes and vulpine about the way she sits.
