History
Vogarro was an elephant, the party of merchants, and was elected triarch seven times. Vogarro owned piers and storehouses, brokered cargoes, changed money and insured shipowners against the hazards of the sea. He also dealt in slaves. He fell in love with a pleasure slave who was taught the way of the seven sighs in Yunkai. He freed and married her, causing a scandal. When he died he left his businesses to his wife, the former slave. She began to manage them and became known as the widow of the waterfront. She had to sell Vogarro's manse inside the Black Wall because freedmen are not allowed inside.[1][2]
