The Sailor Character in Wherever I May Roam | World Anvil

The Sailor

A Drifter that only works on boats and ships, the Sailor is a man with a widespread reputation. This Ogre has spent his entire life on the water, making him an expert that knows exactly how to deal with all kinds of aquatic Beasts. This makes him a good hire for those venturing into dangerous waters.   The Wayfarer Guild also hires him whenever he's available, to train their newer members. Interestingly enough he won't let others hire him for training purposes, saying he likes to keep some of his know-how to himself. The Guild is the only organization he trusts to not attempt to exploit him.   As a true Drifter, the Sailor can be hard to find as he's constantly up and about. Ironically the Guild is the best way to contact him, as it's the only group well-organized enough to follow his whereabouts. As such they serve as intermediary where needed.

Fighting Style
The Sailor could be considered a jack-of-all-trades in combat, as he learned never to depend on a single weapon. He can easily switch position from controller to vanguard to ranged support, carrying the weapons needed to handle all kinds of Beasts. He also understands varying tactics for both singular and group combat.   This allows him to quickly integrate with other groups, making him a good supervisor in combat situations. Along with his instincts, this fighting style is part of what makes him so popular to hire.
Teaching
Under normal circumstances, the Sailor only provides the minimal instructions. He's not likely to give away too much, as to not make himself easy to replace. In combat he'll provide good instructions, but limit the explanations as to why.   When it comes to the Guild, he is more generous, albeit partially due to the Guild already having a lot of his know-how documented. And he's quick with a laugh and a tale while enjoying a drink, making him a great Wayfarer mentor despite refusing to join the Guild.
