Tane Vex
Tane Vex
Mental characteristics
Personal history
Sexuality
Demisexual – He doesn't connect romantically or physically unless deep trust is established. Some whisper he once had a lover on the sea who died… but no one asks twice.
Education
He’s learned tactics, survival, and naval discipline from experience, not books. But he’s no fool—he reads ledgers, maps, and war logs better than most scholars.
Accomplishments & Achievements
- Reorganized the Iron Current into a more structured force.
- Orchestrated and won The Siege of Twin Cliffs—a legendary mercenary engagement.
- Known to have never failed a contract once accepted.
Failures & Embarrassments
- He was once betrayed by a fellow officer he called 'brother' resulting in half his crew dying and the scar on his cheek.
- He once spared a Saltjaw informant out of misplaced trust, which led to a smuggling raid that nearly collapsed the Iron Current’s presence in Drakmire.
Mental Trauma
- Survivor’s Guilt: He carries the weight of decisions that cost lives, whether justified or not.
- Mistrust: While he commands loyalty, he offers little in return. Trust is earned over years, lost in seconds.
- Hyper-vigilance: He sleeps light, and always within arm’s reach of a blade.
Intellectual Characteristics
Tane vex is the ultimate tactician. He sees plans like currents; always moving, always adapting. Not only does he excel in reading maps, but also people and their behavior. However, he is not an academic and struggles with flowery speech and sees diplomacy as a tool not a virtue.
Morality & Philosophy
Tane believes in order through strength, and that morality is often a privilege. He’s not cruel—but when forced to choose, he picks the route that ensures survival, not purity.
"Do what must be done—then deal with the weight of it."
- Common (Fluent)
- Sailor’s Cant / Thieves’ Cant (Fluent)
- Old Imperial (Broken) – Enough to read contracts and relic inscriptions.
