was highly decorated.

joined the Militarists in the Evanglessian Civil War. Arrested
for war crimes, he was exiled from Evangless for life. He worked
with a smuggling crew before gaining enough respect to strike
out on the high seas as a pirate with his own ship. These days he
seeks vengeance against the Evanglessian government at every
turn.

As leader of the Naturalists, Has’na never participated in the
Hurricane Wars, but often dreamed of joining the fray on the
eastern side of the continent. He leads many attacks on passing
ships that have advanced technology, and rarely negotiates. He
was the first to decide that advancement in technology would
destroy their land and culture.
