King Milo
King Milo Moonsinger (a.k.a. "Tideripper")
King Milo Moonsinger, the youngest monarch in Nineveh at only 20, rose to power as Selatres’ most popular and charismatic leader in history. Half-human, half-Triton, Milo has an innate connection to the sea, allowing him to communicate with aquatic life and breathe underwater, abilities that bolster Selatres’ prosperity and relationship with Kava, goddess of the seas. Cheerful, optimistic, and deeply empathetic, Milo fights with words rather than swords, though his martial training and oceanic powers make him formidable when forced into battle. While his new, idealistic policies sometimes falter, his popularity remains unmatched.

Mental characteristics
Personal history
Milo was discovered singing sea shanties on the shores of Pearl Refuge, his soothing voice earning him both coin and attention. Picked up by a merchant ship, his growing reputation led to his adoption by King Joseph Sumner of Golport, who ensured Milo received a royal education from age 12 onward. Rising rapidly in favor with the citizens, Milo was elected King of Selatres at the age of 20, becoming one of the youngest rulers in Nineveh’s history. Rumors persist that he may be a creation or chosen champion of Kava herself, sent to lead Selatres into a golden age.
Education
No formal schooling until adoption at 12; thereafter trained in statecraft, diplomacy, and combat through Golport’s royal academy under King Joseph Sumner’s household.
Employment
Current King of Selatres; former entertainer and sailor.
