Description
As part of their strategy in the so-called "War on Piracy", King Anderson and his police force rank every wanted pirate in order of the urgency and importance of their arrest. These ranks are constantly fluctuating as different pirates prove themselves more dangerous than others . . . or are captured or killed and thus crossed off the list. As you may recall, Magnhild currently sits at #12 and Leroi at #5. But as for #1, that rank has been held by one individual for three years running: the pirate known as "General Larenz".

Relatively unknown until that point, Larenz rose to notoriety when he led his pirate "army" in a calculated attack on the Argonan government, assassinating the emperor and many other key officials. This led to the Argonan Empire surrendering from the Purithyan-Argonan War, ultimately bringing the war to an end. At first, the remaining kingdoms of Illupia and the Anderson Kingdom weren't sure whether this made Larenz a terrorist or a hero. But when Larenz issued a public statement that the remaining rulers would have to be careful if they didn't want to be next, King Anderson saw no choice but to declare Larenz the most wanted criminal in the kingdom. Despite the combined efforts of the police, the army, bounty hunters, and even other pirates wanting to claim the top spot for themselves, Larenz remains at large.

So, yeah, I'm actually kind of surprised that it took me this long to submit a picture of General Larenz here. You've probably seen me refer to him in the descriptions of several other pieces in my gallery before. For some reason, early on in the project I had this idea of Larenz being this mysterious figure and I wouldn't post a picture of him because it would be better if nobody knew what he looked like. I quickly realised that that didn't actually make much sense because there are wanted posters of him on every island so in fact pretty much everyone should know what he looks like. But I suppose I just got into the habit of not drawing him and thus it took me till 2016 to finally submit a picture of him. To be honest, he's far from being a "main character" in the story itself, but he's important to a lot of the backstories, and his actions have had a dramatic effect on the state of the world in which the story takes place, so he kind of has this constant "presence" even if he's not physically there. There's a lot more I could go into but this description has gone on long enough. At least I have this picture to refer people back to whenever I mention him in another description in future. Onwards, then!
