Identifying Characteristics

A scar running from his right nostril to his right ear.   Faint brands on his arms, chest, and face where the magic tends to well up.

Physical quirks

When talking to someone, he will stare at the horizon, as if he can see beyond it. Most people, not knowing the extent of his abilities, assume he can. Really, he just hates eye contact.

Warlock of Blood

Apparel & Accessories

Often seen wearing a loose pair of slacks with a long cloth belt, black boots, and a leviathan skin coat, left unbuttoned to reveal no shirt.

His coat was stolen early on in his pirating career. Made of leviathan skin, it’s thick, heavy, and waterproof. It’s bleached white, with a blue wave pattern dyed across the sleeves and back.

Mental characteristics

Education

While he was given a full education by private masters, his skill in mechanics led to him being tutored by some of the finest engineers in the kingdom.

Employment

His flight into exile led to him escaping on a whaling vessel bound for the main land. He served with them for a year or two, until a leviathan attack granted him his gifts. He took control of the vessel and has been a pirate eversince.

Personality Characteristics

Motivation

Desires to overthrow the kingdom that disgraced his family and sent him into exile.   Wants to build a better boat.

Savvies & Ineptitudes

A mechanically prodigy, by six he could assemble an engine without assistance. By thirteen, he had made plans that would improve the effiency and output of the current top of the line models three fold.   He’s a master orator. His booming voice is able to sway crowds with terrifying ease.   Finds it hard to connect with people on a personal level. The one person he felt understood him, has refused all contact with him since his turn to piracy and mysticism.

Virtues & Personality perks

Monstrously intelligent.   Quick on his feet.   Natural orator.

Vices & Personality flaws

Arrogant.   His ends justify his means.   Can’t sleep without a shot of rum to numb him.

Personality Quirks

Paces when angry. If the object of his ire isn’t at hand, he will hold an imaginary argument with it under his breath.   Gets the hiccups when he laughs.

Hygiene

His ship has running water to his cabin and he doesn’t skimp.

Social

Family Ties

One known surviving brother, David. They haven’t spoke since the incident.

Religious Views

His views on The Almighty, El Todopoderoso, and his relation to warlocks... differs from La Casa's point of view.

Social Aptitude

Incredibly charismatic when speaking to a crowd. Give him an audience and he will give them the world, the sun, the stars.   In person, he’s so tied up in his affected aura of mystery and his subconscious self-importance, that people tend to keep themselves at an arms length.

Hobbies & Pets

Loves reading religious and scientific papers. He’s been working on a manifesto of his own for years. Someday it’ll be ready.   His first love was engineering and he can often be found doodling new schematics. He has a standing bounty for parts that he can use to test his inventions.

Relationships

Wealth & Financial state

Had amassed a fortune able to buy several titles of nobility, and outfit the recipients with the appropriate fashions, just to pull off a heist of a battleship. And then have enough left over to fuel and arm said battleship. And then use that battle ship to amass an even larger fortune.
