The shores are fortified with stone towers and lighthouses, serving not so much as landmarks as observation posts. Large cities retreat inland, and coastal settlements live in constant fear. The sky is often covered with leaden clouds, and gigantic splashes of water—the remnants of battles—can be seen on the horizon. The smell of salt, blood, and hot metal hangs in the air. The sea doesn't feed—it kills. Fishing has almost disappeared, and ships are built not for trade, but for war.

Relationship with the crew: He keeps his distance, but his orders are carried out instantly. He knows the weaknesses of each crew member and exploits them in battle, like parts of a single mechanism. For him, hunting is not just prey, but a ritual of cleansing the sea. He believes monsters are a blight that must be cut from the depths. He speaks quietly, almost in a whisper, which makes the sailors even more tense. In critical moments, his voice becomes thunder, drowning out the howling wind.

His turquoise eyes are no longer simply cold—they reflect a thousand years of battle weariness and a predatory, calculating determination. He views the world from the heights of his dangerous experience, seeing the waves as just another threat to be destroyed. His black pirate hat with skulls and ribbons is not just decoration, but a talisman. Each skull is a reminder of a defeated sea monster or a lost battle. The hatband sometimes gets damp from the salt water, but never breaks—a symbol of his unbending will. The white lace shirt seems like a challenge to the elements, contrasting with the black cloak and the filth of naval battles. The fabric is torn in places, but the collar remains perfectly straight: even in the hell of a storm, it retains its piratical elegance. Accessories as weapons: An anchor earring is more than just jewelry; it's a captain's personal symbol. It's said the anchor is enchanted: it will never let the ship sink as long as the captain is alive. The skull pendant on the chest is an artifact that absorbs monster magic. In times of danger, it begins to glow faintly, warning of the approach of evil. The chain on his face is a scar from the claw of a giant sea serpent that nearly took his life. He kept it as a reminder to himself and his crew: "Never turn your back on the water."
