Grace Emberly

It's indeed a man's world, but Scottish spitfire Grace Emberly is determined to carve out from it her own destiny. Smart, savvy, and quick-witted, Emberly is a force to be reckoned with, gives as good as she gets, and has the respect of her patrons. Owner of the local ale house catering to the trappers and soldiers in the bustling Bay area, she's making steady money slinging booze - and even better money slinging information. She knows just about everything that's going on with all of the key players in the Bay, and uses this critical leverage in her relationships for either financial gain or personal protection. Information is power, and Grace is a powerful lady due to her large network of spies and informants. But she'll also have to keep a keen eye on those same people, or she'll find herself exposed.
