Ka-Ess, also known as Ka-Ess Lizardkin, Ka-Ess Manlizard, Ka-Ess von Manlizard, Ka-Ess "the Rakish," and various other aliases and epithets, was a lizardfolk merchant and pirate in the Skaugan Main and member of the Council of High Captains. An itinerant bard and notorious roustabout, his "Tales of Ka-Ess" are considered a useful, if unreliable, primary source for Skaugan historians.

Though an established adventurer in his own right, Ka-Ess' most well-known exploits occurred in the company of The Fishwives, a pirate crew that at times included such figures as Ardrick Blackstone, Cheeky Patch, Ilabrar Nightbreeze, and Sathul Tashill, upon their flagship, The Satisfied Fishwife

Early Life

Born in the northern fens of ———————, Ka-Ess enjoyed an early life of relative privilege as a rare and thus desirable male. He was raised in the harem of the Matron Ssa-ptal, groomed for the life of a drone, and was educated in hunting, handicrafts, traditional Lizardfolk unarmed combat, and the historical poems of the Lizardfolk oral tradition. In his fourteenth year, Ssa-ptal died unexpectedly — a crushing blow to young Ka-Ess' prospects. His attempts to negotiate the patronage of a new Matron failed, and Ka-Ess fled into exile rather than be devoured by the Matron of a rival line.
