Personal history

Early Life

Mothos was first raised by his poor single mother, Matari Creed, and barely knew his father, Xander.

It is unknown how much time Morthos spent with his father because Commodore Xander Pythoon led the ships of the Nymphiard Navy in patrolling the waters of the Crimson Gulf. However, one day the authorities discovered that Commodore's wealth came from gold and silver given to him by pirates, who bribed him in order to let them sail with impunity. This attitude horrified the young Morthos, as his grandfather was killed by Concorde Guardsmen some time earlier.

The corrupt commodore was arrested for treason and his wife, young Morthos's mother, was also taken away and dragged to a workhouse. In the eyes of the Nymphiard law, the wife of a traitor also had to pay for her husband's sins.

Morthos's mother died shielding him from a storm while at sea, circa 16 PC and subsequently his father was released from prison a year later. When his drunken, disgraced father entered their house, prepared to beat the child, the young Morthos greeted him with a knife, mercilessly killing him. Knowing that corruption and abuse of power were the source of all the misfortunes that had destroyed his family, the young Nymphiard made a vow to help poor at the expence of the elite.

Tragedy struck again circa in 18 PC when, as a child at the tender age of 9, his entire crew he served under as a powder monkey, aboard a pirate ship were killed in a battle by the JKD Silent Livyatan flagship of the The Duryad Imperial Royal Navy, led by Zragar Baltoghlu Maccal, who found the young Morthos and decided to adopt him as his own child.

Teens

As a lad in his mid teens, Morthos served with his adoptive father and older brother Rhogar in the The Duryad Imperial Royal Navy, eventually becoming an Chief Junior Artillerist at sea loyal to his Kapral and new homeland. A proud and fearsome soldier, he quickly rose through the ranks, earning several high military decorations over the years until he became a capitain in command of the JKD Red Diamond's Revenge, a powerful yet swift Galleon. Once he was given command of the Revenge, he was in a perfect position to discover the untold wonders of the world, and pursue his love for the sea, so he made that his life's mission.

One night, after a heated discussion with Zragar he snuck by candlelight back to his ship and sailed off. Free to pursue his dream, Morthos set out to be the "greatest pirate" in all of Naghron and the sole Sea Reaver Overlord of The Sea of Sabres .

Though his adoptive father ever loyal and zealously devout to the crown and his duty to eliminate all piracy and deserters, had other plans. Not wanting to let a single pirate or deserter escape him, not even hos own son. Zragar ordered his men to sink the Red Diamond's Revenge and slaughter her outlaw crew should the opportunity present itself.

Quotes & Catchphrases

"Alright, lads. I’ll give you Butcher of the Sea's honest opinion. You ask me, "Can this new captain promise you a life of prizes, thrils, and adventure?" Aye! Amongst all the gentlemen-soldiers of fortune sailing the Seas of Sabres, he ranks amongst the most clever. There was a time when I thought myself the deadliest scourge of these seas. (chukles)

But this man... he's like a fearsome dog. Feeds off trouble and turmoil. I seen him clear the decks of both Nymphiard and Fiergish galleons like it were nothing. Fighting like a devil dressed as a man. And he’s the kind of man knows his way around every crack and crevice of these islands. So if it's fortune and adventure you seek, then my boy Captain Morthos Creed’s your man. Only... don't meddle in his private affairs. For there's more mystery in that man than even I dare ask..."
