Sunrise Ship Captain (MLU)

The Sunrise Ship Captain is a semi-main character in "MLU".
He is the captain of the first (and last) ship to Sunrise Sanctuary- the infamous land that is inhabited by a powerful cult of cavern dwellers and general miscreants, foolishly believed by many to be a peaceful source of respite from all of the world's troubles.
Due to his pivotal role in leading the ship to Sunrise Sanctuary and indirectly helping Will and Geralt to reach it themselves, he serves as one of the four Main Characters of "Miracula Luxia: Symphony of Despair".
== Personality ==
The ship captain is a kind and outgoing man. He is not afraid of expressing his opinion about a certain topic, but his current position prevents him from speaking about his family and friends, due to the fact that they are too far away from him.
Throughout the events of the short story, he is shown to be an overly trusting man, believing that Geralt is a good person solely due to the heroic status of his family and thinking that Annawan is just a sad god, deprived of the kindness of Heaven. Although this trait is often considered to be a virtue, it can easily become a virtue, under the right circumstances. In that case, the captain will continue to trust the being that is trying to harm him, refusing to believe that they could be untrustworthy and/or outright evil. believing until the end that all creatures made by God deserve a second chance in Life.
In other words, the ship captain is friendly and pragmatic, but his overly trusting attitude could be a hindrance to his noble goals.
== Battle Expertise ==
As is the tradition with all ship captains, this one is capable of using a blunderbuss and saber in battle. His jacket is partially bulletproof and can easily deflect the blows of smaller weapons, such as blades and daggers.
Even though he is quite skilled with melee and ranged weapons alike, however, the ship captain is incapable of using any sort of magic.
== Killed Victims ==
* Numerous counts of Undead
* Many unnamed crewmembers (Undead)
== Death ==
=== Killed By ===
* Annawan (Alive)
While he, Will and Geralt are sleeping, the captain is possessed by the dark god of Sunrise Sanctuary known as Annawan. He is taken to his chamber deep underground where he serves as the god's puppet, bound to do his bidding.
Just as Will and Geralt arrive to save him, Annawan grows tired of having to control one of the human beings that he hates with all his heart. Instead of keeping him around, he decides to use him in a more profitable way- to drain his lifeforce and add it to his own.
As his terrified allies watch, Annawan casts a powerful spell. All of the captain's blood is drained out of his body, infusing the very being of Annawan. In the process, he is killed almost instantly, slumping to the ground like a lifeless puppet.
* William Kaos (Before Reanimation)
Defiantly disobeying Annawan's orders, Will approaches the recently deceased captain. Judging by the color of his skin, he assumes that the man will reanimate soon, and that he must do something about it.
Grabbing his sharpened stick, Will struggles against Annawan's control. After being thrown away a few times, he rises to his feet, defiantly approaches the captain's corpse and stabs him in the head, preventing his reanimation mere seconds before it happens.
