Description
Captain Voss is not intended to be a tavern bouncer or combat monster. He is a survivor. An ancient officer from a vanished age whose greatest weapon is observation.
If combat occurs inside the Sandstone & Water, Voss fights defensively and efficiently. He never wastes motion, never boasts, and never pursues a fleeing enemy. His goal is almost always to protect others, gather information, and survive.
Captain Voss is not an original member of The Harrow's crew. He arrived on Athas aboard another vessel centuries after The Harrow's fall.
Voss possesses extensive knowledge of navigation, star charts, and ancient routes between worlds. He believes Athas was once connected to a wider network of pathways that no longer function.
He has studied surviving records from The Harrow and is one of the few individuals capable of understanding them.
Voss suspects that restoring the vessel's major systems would not be enough to restore The Harrow. The routes it once traveled must also be rediscovered.
Among his possessions are several star charts depicting constellations that cannot be seen from Athas.
