A Complete History of Old Deathsail

Originally a Quetzalfolk of some renown, taken on the expedition to be a keeper of records and history. He died very early into the journey, one of the first victims of the riots that shook the expedition.
What happened before his death is unknown to him. What he knows is, that he made a deal with some unknown entity, trying to save his life for a greater purpose he has no memory of. Just as Adgella Blackwater, he belonged to the first Expedition. His memory of his life before the Reawakening is very murky, he remembers the broad strokes and some important names and events, however, he is missing the details.
Around a hundred years after the Reawakening he met Adgella Blackwater and later Jaqueramaphan, the three immortals quickly working out a plan of action to create stable society in a long term context, without sacrificing the things that make these isles so unique and beautiful.

Personality

Old Deathsail is the most jovial undead you will ever meet. He truly enjoys (un-)life and will do his best to experience it to the fullest. He is deeply interested in all kinds of stories, be it history, a childrens tale or even a really good joke somebody made. Through his connections, he may know everything, the king of gossip loves sharing it, but is well aware what he should and shouldn't share.
He loves the Shifting Isles as his adopted home and will go to the greatest lengths to protect them, that is why he is very happy with Tessa Fairwind, as he sees a kindred spirit in her.
He enjoys the company of Adgella Blackwater, as she is able to truly understand his predicament.
Serving as the unofficial record keeper of any meeting, despite a scribe being present, all of the captains rely on his judgement. The rare moments, when he becomes serious are valued and lot and his words heeded.
Old Deathsail firmly believes in the concept of destiny. Not exactly that the world is a premade story full of acors, but more that some people were just born or made to do certain things, beyond which they are free to live their lives according to their own wishes.

Abilities

Storyteller Extraordinair

Old Deathsail has lived a long time, and even before that had a knack for telling stories in a riveting way. He can distract entire crowds with his story, enchanting them, carrying them away to distant lands and times. Raising their spirits, lowering their morale and anything inbetween.
He is also the Author of the "Joke of the Day" column in the Tortuga Gazetteer.

Raising the Dead

Old Deathsail has an instinctual knowledge and innate abilitie in rasing the dead. If a corpse is at least somewhat fresh and the spirit willing, he can re-attach body and spirit, creating an undead that actually is the person they are made from. Interestingly the undead created this way are no mindless zombies, but retain their autonomy. Old Deathsail is very aware of this and chooses those that get this boon very carefully.
