Captain Albert Marck

Captain Albert Marck is a Breton residing in Stormhaven. He has lost his crew to the slavers and needs a bit of help from the Vestige. He's found hiding behind a rock in the water between the two Ember-Eye camps south of Koeglin Lighthouse.
Later on, Captain Marck can be found in Cloudy Dregs Inn in Wayrest with his First Mate Elvira Derre. The two are broke after their scuffle with the slavers and borrowed funds from the Midnight Union to once again set sail. Eventually they manage to build another crew from the dissenters of Captain Kaleen's Betnikh expedition and obtain a new ship called the Dawn Posset to once again set sail.

==Dialogue==
===Captive Crewmembers===
At the start of the quest:
"Fires of Oblivion! These motherless slavers have captured my entire crew! I'm not one to shy away from a fight, but I think I may be in over my head."
:How were they captured? "Captain Angarthal—the fobbing dog! Cruelest slaver in the Azurian Sea and now in Iliac Bay. He must've put out the signal fire in the lighthouse. It was pitch black. We hit the rocks and the slavers were all over us. Captured the entire crew."
::Where are they? "The slavers took most of the crew up the beach, but Salach, Lidenar, and Ozor are still there. Other captives too, but they're no concern of mine. I'm too waterlogged to fight, but if you'll free my men, I'll make it worth your while."
:::I'll free your men. "Watch out for Captain Angarthal—his axes are stained with the blood of more sailors than I can count. He's a monster. Hey though. If you're feeling tough, I say take that bastard out. Won't hear any complaints from me."
::::Any idea where they took the rest of your crew? "I don't know for sure, but I overheard something about the slavers taking over a village up the beach. I'm betting they took the rest of the crew there. If there's a silver lining to that cloud, it's that they're out of Captain Angarthal's reach."
:::::You and Captain Angarthal have a history? "Never met the man myself, but his name's well-known in these waters. Angarthal's notorious for terrorizing the Abecean Sea, enslaving the Altmer. Guess he joined up with this outfit after the Ebonheart Pact was formed."
After freeing Salach, Lidenar and Ozor:
"Ozor, Salach, and Lidenar are free and Captain Angarthal is dead. I believe this day is getting better. I may have lost my ship, but you've restored my hope."
:What about the others? "They were marched off to the east. My first mate went after them, but I can't imagine she'll be able to free them alone. If you travel in that direction, keep an eye out for her. If she doesn't return soon, I may just have to track her down myself."
===The Debt Collector's Debts===
"Hey friend. Care to have a drink? You'll have to buy though. I'm flat broke. Can't even pay my debts. Have to go upstairs and tell S'rashi I don't have his money …. You think he'll have me killed?"
:Actually S'rashi sent me to collect the debt. "Oh? So you're going to kill me? Because … I don't have the money. Nothing to be done for it. I'm not going to run though. I'm a man of integrity, at least in this case. You don't think S'rashi could give me a few more weeks?"
::I'll ask him to give you a break.
===Risen from the Depths===
When the Vestige arrive at Sentinel docks, Captain Albert Marck is there waiting to talk with him:
"Of all the ports in Tamriel, why this one? I sailed all the way across the Iliac Bay and I need a glass of grog! I've shared a drink with some unsavory characters, but I draw the line at zombies. I think I'll stay off the docks for now."
:Zombies on the docks? "You can't smell their soggy, rotting flesh? Just walk down the causeway there, you'll see them—a damned army of them. Question is, why aren't the Sentinel guards doing anything?"
::Maybe they're all dead. "Nah. I've seen a few of the bootless louts skulking around, behind crates and such …. Someone need to go grab one of the guards and ask what in Oblivion's going on here. You up for it?"
:::Sure. I'll try to find out what's going on.
After accepting the quest:
"There you go. Give the guards a kick and tell them to get to work. I've got cargo to unload. If the guards can't help us, look for the dockmaster. Maybe he's got half a brain … unless the zombies have eaten it, of course."
:Do you still owe money to S'rashi? "As if this day hadn't gone to Oblivion already … you feel the need to remind me of all my debt? Yes, I still owe S'rashi. The Dawn Posset is a quality ship; it'll take time to pay her off."
:You have some new crewmembers? "Of course. Lost the ship at the Koeglin Lighthouse, and the crew moved on … I'm lucky Elvira stuck around. We bought the Dawn Posset in Wayrest and took on a new crew. Good people; we're due for a streak of luck after this."
:What are you doing here in Sentinel? "How do you think I make a living? I by there, sell here. It's what I do. All legitimate, of course. Picked up a load of timber in Wayrest—it'll sell for a pile of coin here. It better."
==Quotes==
*"Fires of Oblivion! These motherless slavers have captured my entire crew!"
*"Fobbing cheats! I just let a full cargo hold of timber go for half its value! I don't like the way these Redguards negotiate. I'll never get square with S'rashi at this rate."
