Arthur Adelgrim

Fallen from the sky and into the arms of the goddess Kelby, as long as he's been down on the surface of Valdesoth, he's been at sea. 
== History ==
Born in 1343 AV, third and final born to the Adelgrim family. He was orphaned at a young age along with his brother Moro and older sister Yara. Because of this, he was largely raised by his older sister, and looked after by Moro. They lived in a monastery in At'ashen for a majority of this time. 
Arthion always had a deep love for the sea below and longingly looked down at it from his bedroom window every day, learning how to sing by listening to the call of the whales and sirens and learned rhythm from the waves. He was deeply fascinated by the sea and researched it deeply, reading and obsessing over the surface world from his place in the sky. 
With his siren like voice, he became something of a legend among the monastery, like Rapunzel, but self imposed reclusiveness in the tower. He was deeply depressed during this time, longing to explore the world below that he was forever forbidden from by the monastery.
Then one day, he sang to a particular mermaid he saw down below, a mermaid that happened to be the goddess Kelby. She found his voice to be the most beautiful she had ever heard in all her years and although she left after his song was done, she returned every night to hear his song, a ritual that would continue for years.
In 1446 AV, Arthion found Kelby with her arms extended to him, promising to catch him if he came down to see her. Without a second thought he dove into the sea and into her arms, leaving the life he had behind and beginning a new adventure out at sea.
=== Becoming Arthur ===
Once he reached the surface, he knew he couldn't swim in the sea with Kelby forever--largely because he didn't have gills. She took him to the nearest chain of islands, where he adopted the name Arthur after someone misheard himself in an introduction. From here, he got a job on a ship, The Cloud Sailor, and learned how to sail.
He spent a lot of time on The Cloud Sailor, making his way to the rank of first mate under Captain Beatrix Germaine. This time wouldn't last unfortunately, as the ship got caught up in the Battle of 10,000 Graves and they lost not only the ship, but Captain Germaine as well.
In 1455 AV, Arthur Adelgrim and the surviving crew performed a successful heist and stole a brigantine class Bourdenian Navy vessel which he renamed the Siren’s Scream. This was the true beginnings of The Hurricane, when they started to become more well-known and wanted. Five years late in 1460 AV, the crew performed another heist, capturing a galleon named the Swan Song that Captain Adelgrim renamed The Siren’s Song. With this vessel began The Hurricane’s silver age, as they performed various heists of nobility from Helleda to Asturia, all across the Kelas.
Arthur Adelgrim commissioned the Eye o’ the Storm to be built in 1464 AV, a ship that would become the largest sailing vessel all on the planet, an ambitious design and one that would take six years to build. With it's maiden voyage it not only sparked the golden age of The Hurricane, but for all piracy.
