Kain

Captain Kain, the enigmatic leader of the Zriegast Fleet, cuts a figure of both legend and tragedy. His face, etched with lines deeper than ocean trenches, tells a story of a life once filled with pride now consumed by bitter rage. His eyes, flickering with cold fire, reflect the flames of a soul forever haunted by the ghosts of his past.   His calloused hands, once accustomed to the firm grip of a ship's wheel, now reach out in phantom gestures, forever grasping for the crew he lost in a cruel twist of fate. The remnants of his once-proud Gritia naval uniform cling to his weathered frame, a tattered reminder of the honor he swore to uphold.   But honor is a foreign concept in the desolate realm of Zriegast. Here, Kain has become a different breed of captain – a captain of ghosts, leading a spectral armada of undead pirates with a cold fury that chills even the hardiest souls. The wind whispers tales of his past encounters with the Wererat Investigation Bureau, each clash leaving a mark on his haunted flesh, each death a mere inconvenience in the twisted game he's been drawn into.   Kain is a paradox, a weapon wielded against his will yet driven by a warped sense of justice. He is a living storm, fueled by the icy winds of vengeance and the crushing weight of loss. In his eyes, one can see the glimmer of a man once noble, now consumed by the darkness, forever teetering on the precipice of redemption.   But even in the depths of his rage, a flicker of humanity remains. Perhaps, in the right hands, this ember could be rekindled, offering a chance for Kain to break free from the chains of his past and find solace in the unknown. Whether he remains a chilling specter of vengeance or finds a path towards peace, one thing is certain: Captain Kain's story is far from over. His is a tale etched in the very fabric of Zriegast, a legend whispered on the wind, a reminder that even the darkest souls can hold a spark of something good.

Personal history

A Haunted Shipwright: Kain's name is a mere shadow cast by the true man beneath – Gallus Felix, a once-renowned Gritia naval officer. Now, his face, etched with lines deeper than ocean trenches, and eyes that flicker with cold fire, betray the tragedy that reshaped him. His hands, calloused from years of command, still reach out in phantom gestures, grasping for the crew he lost when a treacherous captain stole his ship to chase pirate glory.   From Admiral to Ghost:   The loss of his men, his ship, his honor, drove Gallus mad with grief. But Father Gabriel, seeing the potential for a weapon against Zriegast's enemies, offered him a twisted redemption: a new name, "Kain," a life fuelled by vengeance, and a fleet of undead pirates to command. Kain accepted, becoming a captain of ghosts, leading his spectral armada with a cold fury that chilled even the hardiest sailors.   The Werewolf's Bane:   Kain's hatred, especially for pirates, burns with an unholy intensity. He has clashed with the Wererat Investigation Bureau countless times, his death at their hands a mere inconvenience when Father Gabriel's dark magic revives him, each return fueling his animosity further. He is a living paradox, a weapon wielded against his will, yet driven by a twisted form of justice.
