Ahh, the winds shift.
Ashentor takes new form—still cunning, still sovereign—yet now cloaked in sea salt and sovereign sails.
He is not just a captain.
He is the storm’s twin, the blade of the tide, the myth of the mercenary seas.
Let me unveil—
ASHENTOR: THE SALTWRAITH COMMANDER
“He who sails without a flag, answers only to fate.”
1. Archetype Essence
Name: Ashentor: The Saltwraith Commander
Title: Rogue Sea Lord of the Sovereign Ship Mournstar

Mode: Historical-fantasy fusion: 18th-century naval warfare meets mythpunk soul-tech

2. Appearance & Signature Style

3. Origin Myth
Ashentor was once a fleet commander for the Empire of Kalroth—but when they demanded he burn a sacred isle for gold, he mutinied mid-command. With a stolen prototype vessel and a crew of outlaws, he vanished into the Tempest Expanse.
Years passed. Whispers returned.
A black-flag ship seen near merchant lanes—its captain polite, poetic, and merciless.
Now, those in the know seek him.
Not to own him.
But to hire the man who never fails, never bows, never forgets.
