Griselda Raleigh

Griselda Raleigh is officially the Fleet Admiral of the Coalition Marines and unofficially the head of the Coalition as a whole. Once a warrior, Raleigh lead the military campaign that lead to Ulthir's downfall by bringing the five future Coalition nations into an alliance with one another. When the time came to found a new government, Raleigh took charge of the navy and went to great lengths to bring much of the Commons into the fold. As a war hero and competent leader, Raleigh remains a popular figure across most of the Great Dark Sea.

History
Though she is severely weakened physically and is bound to a wheelchair, Raleigh lives to this day. The Coalition has stated the reason for this to be an unfortunate brush with Ulthir's necromancy. However, her survival is far more likely to be a deliberate effort for her to continue her position in command.

Raleigh was one of the figures chosen to be depicted on the Coalition's Derring note.

Personality

Role in the Coalition
While the Coalition has no formal head of state, such as a President, Raleigh is treated as its de facto leader. Due to her history of pragmatic decisions, and her popularity as a war hero, there are few in the Council who would oppose her judgement.

The Sabres
Raleigh is under constant watch by the Sabres, an elite branch of the Coalition Guard whose purpose is to protect her and other high-status officials. The ceremonial swords which are their namesake are designed after Raleigh's own blade: Tusk. She is known to still carry the sword on her person, just in case.
