Ravi Kass`l

Ravi Kass`l was a male, the youngest son of Lothar Kass`l, a Nagai warlord and master of the Dread Fleet.

Born to Lothar's second wife on the warlord's capital and, Belzior, Ravi grew up with his elder sister Jehra. Both were trained by their father and his Dread Sentinels in combat, and received the best education Lothar could buy—which was the best education available in. Though taught to be a skilled combatant, Ravi did not enjoy fighting as much as his sister. He greatly enjoyed government and politics, however, and was always an eager pupil. Like his sister, he learned to master the arts of stealth and secrecy; unlike Jehra, Ravi appreciated them.

As he entered his teen years, Ravi received greater exposure to his father's spy network. With Jehra gone, having entered the Dread Fleet herself as a captain, Ravi had most of their father's attention. Lothar saw to it that Ravi heard—through his own nascent spy network—that Jehra planned to inherit the Dread Fleet as its new commander when Lothar died. Lothar himself inspired the friction between the siblings, concerned that neither alone could rule as he had; he hoped that, by engendering competition between them, he would forge at least one of them into a complete ruler.
