Ellsworth, a name that resounds through the decades as one of the single most hearty and successful men of the kingdom.  If one knows that much they are also certainly aware that Samuel himself is a highly respected and influential figure, acting as a diplomat, ambassador, and negotiator in equal measure.  If he has been sent to Escha Island, it is doubtlessly to coordinate the assistance of the native peoples and possibly find a peaceful solution to their problems with the various native peoples that seem so intent on wiping what's left of the colony from the face of the planet.<br/><br/>His introductions with the other men and women aboard the<em>Blue Sprite</em>have been nothing if not cordial, quickly ingratiating himself with both the members of the crew and those traveling under the orders of the Duke.  He seems a boisterous and charming man, possessing all the warmth and heart and soul that most politicians lack or lose track of somewhere in their career.
