Biography

A port baron chooses Graycastle

Jean Bate tried to preserve Sedimentation Bay's neutrality while the Tusk and Redstone Gate families competed to control its port, even placing their emissaries together in hopes that conflict would buy him time. Graycastle's arrival broke that deadlock. After weighing its evacuation proposal against the threat from both families, Jean pledged allegiance to Roland, issued the relocation order, and supplied rooms to the First Army while thousands gathered at the docks. (Chapters 1199, 1201, 1203)
