Captain Callous
Captain Callous is the notorious tiefling pirate Captain of The Devil's Fin and feared by merchant vessels up and down the western shores of The Azure Sea.
The sight of his ship on the horizon, singularly recognisable due to it's bright red paint scheme and it's vicious iron ram, will send most other vessels fleeing for the nearest port. The lucky ones escape, and the rest either die or live to tell the tales of the horrific treatment to which their crew was subjected. Callous is renowned for the sadistic joy he shows when he takes another ship for its plunder.
Tales abound regarding the Captain. Most agree that his tiefling bloodline harks back to Asmodeus himself! Other tales speak of him disappearing in a burst of flame after attacks.
Callous' crew are as notorious as the tiefling himself. His First Mate is a lumbering ogre, named Anka. This lumbering ogre is missing one arm, and forged onto the stump of the missing limb is a huge anchor, which the creature uses to steer the ship’s wheel.
The Captain's relationship to the Hold of the Sea Princes is unknown. It is believed that his is a privateer who operates mainly in the northern and western reaches of The Azure Sea, though he is known to have worked directly for them from time to time.
