John Beliest

John Beliest was the only refined son of swashbuckler Troilem Beliest. While his father is considered the man who built Seacliff Castle, it was truely John Beliest who gave the castle a foundation unto which it would rely on for hundreds of years.

Killing his father in 29 K.C., John took control of his father's pirate "army" and began to tame the surrounding waters, which were infested with piracy. He began to fortify and build upon his father's castle, and was able to essentially erradicate any resistance because of his father's many loyal followers.

In time, he had developed Seacliff Castle from a pirate slum into a large working fortress, with its own protective soldiers. He died of a sickness when he was late into his forties, and his estranged son, Vordimere Beliest, took his position as Lord of Seacliff.
