Jeremiah Walker
Jeremiah Walker is more than happy to claim the title of face of the slave trade in the south. He wears it the way other men wear medals: openly, proudly, and with the confidence of someone who has decided that what he does is a service rather than a crime.
Walker started as a Merican farmer before recognizing that people were a more profitable crop than anything that grew from the ground. He founded the Flesh Farmers at Wormsloe Plantation near Skidaway Harbor, building an operation that breeds, trains, and sells slaves to farms, Pure Blood households, the Drowned City, and Vernon Cove. Disobedient stock is sold to Full Dead and Semper Mort traders for consumption, a fate that serves as both disposal method and disciplinary threat. Years of experience in the trade have made him efficient, industrious, and utterly immune to moral appeals.
He views himself as a businessman providing a needed service to the region, and the steady demand from his client base suggests the region agrees, or at least prefers not to examine the source of its seasonal labor too closely. Rumors of a slave escape route reach him periodically; he suppresses them with the same businesslike efficiency he applies to everything else.
