Zephyrus Aabram: Captain of the Sea Worthy

Zephyrus Aabram is a Tiefling Captain from Windbreak who sails the Brightwater Sea. As Captain, he is often found walking the deck of the ship, shouting orders, jumping in to help, and fawning over the wooden varnish of the helm.

Zephyrus takes a lot of work from a varied set of sources. As a registered Captain, he has vows to stand against piracy, to stand with Windbreak in times of war, and to pay taxes to Windbreak. He enjoys working to make other people’s dreams come true. He sails as far North as Koriolan, and as far East as Kryte. He used to trade in Zalen Tor, but that has been dangerous with the increase in pirate efforts close to their shores.

His shipmates are his family. He knows them better than most Humans know their own cousins. Their strengths and weaknesses are his own, and his ship succeeds on how well they do as a family.

He understands the water better than he understands most things. As a Water Tiefling, he feels the push and pull of Water as the Sea Worthy travels its surface.

Roleplaying hints

1. Zephyrus loves being on the open sea. He cheers the moment he’s back on the sea, and bemoans his ill fortune while trapped on the land.
2. The Sea Worthy, and his salt stained Captain’s hat are both gifts from his late father.
3. He loves the adventure, and wants to help folks, but has a terrible head for numbers, and realistic expectations. An eternal optimist, he often bites off more than he can chew.
