Carlo Gambala

Eldest son of Giannini Gambala, head of the Gamma Gambala fraternity, he fled the family after a final furious disagreement with his father and took over one of the family's pirate junks. He rapidly built a reputation among other pirate crews, many of whom made sure to either stay out of his way, or to align themselves with him for profit and protection. With massive financial clout he was able to outfit his junk with the finest technology available to the pirates most highly reputed mod-shop, Woolfe Weapon Works.

A leading figure in the organisation of the ambush of the Francesca Reala above the tourist world of Pandale, the disastrous battle did substantial reputational damage to Carlo.

Some suspected he was involved in the assassination of Darian Corvalis as revenge for the elimination of his entire family during the coup that saw him take over the Gamma Gambala fraternity, which restored his standing somewhat.

He did not deny doing so, but had never displayed any emotion or made any mention of Corvalis prior to his death, which made some doubt his lust for revenge, but led others to believe he had been plotting the assassination for a long time without revealing his plans or intent.

He remains one of the most wanted pirates, and one of the most elusive and dangerous.
