Constanzo Miglio di Padeno (1362/1363 TT - 1312 TT) was a Rossan tradesman and mariner, widely accredited for being the hand behind the power of the Miglio family. Amassing great wealth over his lifetime, his riches would drive the growth of the small coastal town of Padeno into becoming the largest city in the region, and eventually the entire island of La Rossa. Engaging in trade with cities across the entire coastline of the islands, he would continue commanding his fleet of trade ships aboard his vessels until his death in 1312 TT, when he would be lost at sea.
Early Life
Born in either the year 1362 or 1363 TT, Constanzo Miglio was born in the town of Corusa in the Montesuvian mountain range. Although the town's remains quite small today (with tourism surrounding Constanzo Miglio's being its biggest industry), owing to an aging population and a mostly traditional mountain lifestyle, at the time, it was one of the bigger towns in the region, allowing for Miglio's relatively fortunate upbringing, despite the tragedy that would strike in his life. The death of his father, a huntsman and fur trader, at the age of 15 would leave him the inheritor of a small amount of wealth, with which he would leave his mother (who died soon after) in search of fortune on the island's coast.
