Robin (harpoonist)

Not to be confused with Robin (the living) or Robin (the idealist).
== "...the news that Robin has been killed at sea in a truly epic battle with one of the Seven Leviathans..." ==
Robin was a legendary harpoonist who travelled the Seven Seas hunting sea monsters, protecting floating cities and killing other harpoonists who he believed were inadequate at their role. Though many disagreed with his methods, it can not be doubted that he saved tens of thousands of people and produced incredibly safe sections of the sea.
=== Weapon of Choice ===
Robin wielded a hangman harpoon, a non-projectile blade with a sharp edge and weighted pommel that was much closer to a throwable sword than a true harpoon.
=== Rivalry with Felix ===
Felix the harpoonist is another legendary seafaring warrior who, differing to Robin, chooses to protect small communities and escort merchant ships, generally leaving the large cities alone. Robin believed his methods to be counter-productive to saving the most people possible and they clashed on many occasions. By the end of Robin's life, they had been fighting on-and-off for decades, leading Felix to lose one of his arms and suffer permanent damage to his eyes and legs. These fights are one of the possible reasons why Robin was not able to survive his fight with The Kraken of Genod. Considering his immense talent and skill, it seems otherwise likely that he would have successfully killed the creature and survived with the help of The Nascent Dawn's megaballistas.
=== Marriage ===
Robin met Lillith Moore on the deck of The Sandstorm, a large combat ship. She was working as a cannoneer, but left the ship to travel with Robin for over twenty years. She was killed in combat by an unknown sea monster 5 years before Robin's own death.
=== Death ===
Robin gave his life to defeat The Kraken of Genod, one of the Seven Leviathans, so that he might save The Nascent Dawn, a highly-populated floating city. News of his death spread rapidly by merchant ships, largely dispelling any qualms that seafarers had with his policy of attacking other harpoonists, turning his legend from a controversial one into a widely-appreciated story of sacrifice and heroism.
