Cimmer

"My nine-tails have twelve-tails" - Cimmer cracks his whip aboard the airship the Cantankerous Old Man.
==At a Glance==
Bloodthirsty and clever, Cimmer was a Githyanki who commanded a fierce group of bandits and pirates aboard his airship, the Cantankerous Old Man. Reluctantly recruited to join the Sunshine Offensive due to his group's knowledge of the Astral Sea, he plotted to steal riches at every opportunity but kept his greed in check as he waited for the chance to strike.
===History===
Born in thralldom, all that is known about Cimmer is that he grew to prominance aboard his airship, The Cantankerous Old Man, as a boy and eventually killed the captain before taking command.
===The Sunshine Offensive===
Teaming with the Republic of Pallanaise out of a desire to manage free-skies in The Astral Sea, Cimmer joined with Euris Testidar on a bold move: the destruction of Bahamut. When the Sunshine Offensive finally came to blows in the skies with the Platinum Dragon, Cimmer's crew was caught off guard in the misty skies and was forced into a hasty retreat. With their realm-antennae damaged, they also found they were cut off from the mortal realm.
This flight turned into a tactical game of cat-and-mouse with Bahamut and his Dragons. Siding with Eluna Halidin of the Abundance of Apocalpyse, the remainder of the Sunshine Offensive sought cover on a floating land-mass, later discovered to be the home of a clutch of infant Dragons and Dragonkin. Retreating to the ship, Cimmer ordered the land-mass burnt as they began yet another hasty retreat. Unloading the Cantankerous Old Man's full ammunition salvo on the land-mass, Cimmer watched as the Dragons were cut asunder by cannonfire.
Months passed and with the help of Eluna, Cimmer and his crew of surviving Githyanki and Eladrin were able to cannibalize their respective ships and return to the mortal realm, chased by a mass armada of Dragons. Having teetered on the brink of madness, Cimmer emerged from the Astral Sea a reformed man: now with a religious belief in Kord, a Sky God.
Cimmer was eventually killed while defending the Arcane Vault of Secrets aboard the Abundance of Apocalypse. After suffering fatal blows from descending Dragonborn, Cimmer revealed he had armed the ship's upper deck to explode, providing Eluna with time to prepare the defenses. Escaping the explosion himself, Cimmer's last heroic move was followed by his face-to-face demise at the hand of the Dragon Champion Kalryni.
