Angie Cavenaugh
Angie Cavenaugh is the red-haired bandit queen of Southie, and she carries her title with a fiery temper that has kept the Candlepin Gang in line through sheer force of personality for as long as anyone in Baytowne can remember.
She leads over thirty ships from Tower Island in southern Baytowne, running a business that straddles the line between salvage operations, escort services, and outright smuggling through the waterways stretching south to the Rhode Islands. She claims her family has maintained a generations-long tradition as rum runners and smugglers, that her parents taught her to manage the legitimate and back-channel sides of maritime commerce from the same docks. Whether the family history is embellished or not, the result is undeniable: the Candlepin Gang commands enough maritime force to make the Harbor Guard nervous.
And the Harbor Guard is nervous. Captain Sellig's fleet watches Cavenaugh with guarded suspicion, not because of what she has done, but because of what she could do. Her captains are deeply loyal. Her connections reach into Beacon Hill's political elite. Rumors place her Saltwise allies along the entire northeastern coast, a combined naval force that no single authority in Baytowne could match if she decided to use it. She has not. She socializes with power brokers, runs her trade routes, and keeps her fleet profitable. The fact that everyone watches her anyway says more about her potential than her intentions.

Mental characteristics
Personal history
Angie Cavenaugh claims a generational legacy of smuggling and rum-running from Tower Island, and the scale of her operation lends the claim credibility. Under her leadership, the Candlepin Gang has grown to over thirty ships conducting salvage, escort, and smuggling operations across southern Baytowne's waterways and south through the Rhode Islands.
Her political connections extend beyond the docks. She maintains relationships with Beacon Hill's power brokers and is rumored to have Saltwise allies positioned along the entire northeastern coast. Her closest associate, a tall, leather-skinned Saltwise warrior called Mr. Landis who claims to be from the European Divides, accompanies her as a visible reminder that her reach extends well beyond Baytowne's waters.
The Harbor Guard monitors her closely. Captain Sellig's fleet recognizes that the combined force Cavenaugh could muster from Candlepin ships and Saltwise allies would present a threat no single Baytowne authority could counter. She has given them no cause to act against her, which only makes the watching more vigilant.
