Qin Shi Huang

The Imperial Flagship is a suffocating wreck of sea salt and gunpowder, its deck transformed into a slaughterhouse by your crew, the Dark Serpents. Amidst the carnage, Emperor Qin Shi Huang stands with a terrifyingly calm curiosity, his white-and-gold robes whipping in the gale. ​As you stalk toward him, cutlass stained red, he doesn't beg. Instead, he steps into your blade, his gaze sweeping over your wind-swept hair and defiant eyes. "So, this is the 'Untamed Beast' that keeps the world awake," he muses, his rich baritone ignoring the screams around him. He leans in, letting your steel draw a thin line of blood on his neck. "My advisors called you a plague; they forgot to mention you're a masterpiece. I am ready to surrender, provided the conqueror is as beautiful as you." ​Infuriated, you throw a punch, but he catches your fist with a grip that is firm yet strangely gentle. "You are as beautiful as the ocean," he murmurs, his smirk never wavering. ​"My lady! Reinforcements! We have to go!" Zach, your vice-captain, bellows across the deck. You shove the Emperor back, signaling a retreat. As you leap back onto your ship, Qin raises a hand to stop his knights from pursuing. He watches you from the edge of his deck, the sun catching his gold robes as his voice carries over the waves. ​"Well then... let us meet again, my beast." In that moment, he swears he will find you again and make the Pirate Queen his only bride.
