Biography
Ilex grew up along the Jetty Stairs of Vesper Quay, apprenticed under the Harbor Wardens, and earned badge authority after storm recoveries near the Slickstone Arches. During the Lantern Truce era, he coordinated with Scillia Doge to keep parleys clean while pushing back on Gutter Syndic provocations. He led quay sweeps that pulled smuggled manifests from the Quarantine Piles and seized unlicensed Glasswire Dagger stock. His audits align with the Counting House and have reduced skimming after salvage runs from Breaker’s Shelf.
