Hassan

Hassan is the ferryman of the Land of the Green Isles. As such, his ferry is the only means of transportation between the isles (because of the dangerous currents and rocky shoals.) The ferry has been in Hassan's family for generations, and the way of avoiding the currents and shoals is a secret known only to Hassan and his family. He was taught how to navigate the currents by his father when he was just a boy. Derek Karlvaegen met him and his father at the time. Some years ago, however, once the isles started feuding, Vizier Abdul Alhazred stopped the ferry. Hassan helped Prince Alexander of Daventry by giving him quite a bit of history about the Land of the Green Isles.

It can also be assumed that he was also the captain that would carry Alexander and Cassima, from the Green Isles to Daventry, to visit his family. He enjoyed playing a rousing game of King's Questions to pass the time while they travelled. Unless of course Hassan imparted knowledge of how to navigate through treacherous waters of the green isles to another captain.
