Description
Backstory
Once a gladiator enslaved in an empire’s coastal arenas, Thalos fought for blood and coin until a rival pirate crew raided the coliseum. He slaughtered his captors, stole their ship, and claimed it as his own. That ship became The Abyssal Maw, feared across the seas for its black sails, brass-plated hull, and reputation for ruthless boarding actions.
Captain Veyra became his first mate after challenging him to a duel — Thalos beat her, but was so impressed by her ferocity that he offered her his right hand on the spot.
