Alfonso Bañajo

Alfonso was born in the Coderite port city of Verano. By age twelve, he was living beneath the docks, scrounging food however he could. One day he attempted to steal from the ship of Valmar Ciervo, but was caught. Rather than turning him in, Valmar offered Alfonso a place on his pirate crew. From then on, Alfonso would be devoted to Valmar and sailed with him across Coderite waters, to Calzon City, and later a settlement of their own called Crystal Cove. At some point, he became Valmar's first mate.

After Valmar was lured into a trap and killed, Alfonso helped his son Vane lead a crew and build a ship of his own, the Smasher. Alfonso would serve as Vane's first mate for the next twenty-five years, an endlessly loyal voice of caution through countless exploits across Calzon Sea and throughout the War of the Calaran Ocean.

When Vane followed in his father's footsteps and died in a Coderite ambush, Alfonso became the first mate of Elizabeth Gathian on her ship the Demon's Revenge, but they soon parted ways when Elizabeth returned to her home country of Haleglar and Alfonso sailed back to Calzon Sea at the helm of her ship.
