West-With-The-Sun Shasaka (pronounced shah-SAH-kah) is the pirate captain of the Three Gold Short, affiliated with the Alliance of the Red Banner faction of the Blacksand League. Shasaka possesses a unique position within the Alliance, as he is one of the very few within the faction who are willing to publicly disagree with the orders of Shiyang. Though Shiyang normally tolerates no insubordination, she seemingly will not or or cannot take action against Shasaka or his crew. The reason for this is unknown, but some wonder if it may be connected to the extended periods of time the pirate captain spends in the ports of Tarkuus.
