Residents of Riggen

Kaparnu Oceanscrest

“It might take a strong arm to captain a ship, but it takes a strong mind to enforce the laws of the Merchant Prince. No one will make fun of me now—not now that I have the power to destroy everything they hold dear. This is my chance to live up to my father's name—not on the waves with the clash of steel, but in the harbor, in the name of greed.”

Son of a well known Captain, Dacian Oceanscrest, Kaparnu was born with a deformity that made one of his legs not work very well. Where most with disabilities like this would be seen as weak and not worth anything in the unforgiving Conglomerate, he was spared the ridicule thanks to his fathers old crew. Knowing he couldn’t take his fathers place as captain of The Vagabond, the crew decided to join Kaparnu, land-bound, and help him run the harbour of Riggen at the suggestion of the Merchant Prince. Always wanting to prove himself to his able-bodied peers, Kaparnu has worked hard to improve his strength in all other aspects of self, and has studied just as stoically to make sure he never messes up any of his duties as Harbourmaster. Alongside his trusted friend and enforcer, Tolura Maston, he runs a tight ship (pun intended), and has gained the respect of many despite his physical limitations. His main duty is to make sure that all trade ships have accurately catalogued all they are carrying and paid the correct taxes and dues for trading them in Riggen. Anyone found to have lied or attempting to smuggle items through the port are left at the mercy of the Merchant Prince, unless they offer something good enough in reparation before he gets a chance to be notified.
