Drowned B. Keeper

Drowned B. Keeper (DrownedBkpr) is one of the survivors of an ancient but never told civil war, who decided to live among humans after his adoptive father passes.
== Backstory ==
Long ago, when monsters, deities and spirits were more powerful than ever, in the abyssal depths of the now known Tortuga, a bunch of drowned undead were infused with the boiling breath of the ancient Leviathan, give them a soul and mind. And among them was B. Keeper.
For this race, the Leviathan always gave its protection and every one hundred years, his blessing, by returning back to infuse souls to more undead with its breath. This race was later known by archeologists and historians as "tortugan drownish folk". And this subset of sentient creatures lived in harmony among all sea creatures for almost 600 years... until one day.
The original undead drowned ones, and those which had rejected the blessing in order to remain "pure", revealed against the drownish folk and that started a short but horrible massacre later known as "the never told oceanic civil war". The undead drowned had better weapons and bigger numbers, but they were slow and clumsy, while the drownish ones were agile and learned how to use the drowned's weapons against them. After several days, the war was over, resulting on the winning of the drownish folk. But the winners had to retreat later, because their city was completely destroyed after the war. A lot of shrines were reduced to gravel and their history was almost lost.
But the scribe of the most important shrine carried with him some carved nautilus shells. All of them were the records of his people... with the promise of redemption.
== Lore ==
After wandering for a long time, Drowned B. Keeper was adopted by a human in a remote Tortugan island, now forgotten and lost. The human resulted to be a beekeeper who was curious about the strange creature. But he soon would learn about the story of an ancient civilization which was destroyed by a war, sentient undead, and a mythic creature. When the beekeeper heard about the Leviathan, he smiled. He remembered the stories of a warrior who ruled over Tortuga a long time ago, which met an ancient Leviathan and obtained a power worthy of a demigod. And that was when he decided to adopt the creature.
A name was given: Drowned, the Beekeeper, because the man himself was a beekeeper, and he decided to make Drowned his apprentice. Later on, the name was modified by Drowned himself to Drowned Bartholomew Keeper, because of a pirate he admired. And it was a peaceful life for almost 30 years, until...
Drowned buried his adoptive father in the island and cried for 3 days and 3 nights, until he decided to depart. He took his father's robes and the shells he buried long ago in the garden. He promised to himself to carry all the years he lived with the beekeeper as his new age. But he never forgot the promise of redemption to his people. He's determined to find a way to contact to his god, even if that means to start banditing for gear, secrets and information.
After all, he's the most loyal and devoted drownish you've never met.
