Mobay

The sea is an almost unexplored place for most. Although several species live under water, most humanoids prefer to stick to land. Mobay was different though.
Born poor and with a walking disability, Mobay had it tough. He decided to take his own life, by throwing himself into the ocean and die by drowning. To his surprise, he could breathe underwater just as if he was breathing air. Additionally, the lower resistance in the water enabled him to use his legs to navigate through the water. People he knew never saw him again, he simply just vanished under the water never to return.
Legends speak of him finding a naga camp under water. He learned from them how to communicate and fight under water. He practiced harder than anyone else, and in a short amount of time he bested all of the naga’s in the camp. He decided to kill their leader and take over the camp. Being very hierarchic and having a culture of the strongest leads, the remaining Naga’s accepted him as their new leader. He was a great leader, and he taught his servants and granted them great lives as long as they did what he demanded. Knowing that this camp belonged to a bigger naga city, he expected a revenge attack from them. Being a strategic mastermind, he prepared well for the attack and beat them without much effort. He acted fast after the attack, and counter attacked the city. A few weeks later, he defeated them and now owned a large naga city.
After his conquest, he still craved power. He sent out naga scouts in nearby areas to scout for camps. During a few years, he attacked and conquered several encampments within close proximity.
This all happened very fast for Mobay. Coming from a handicapped child to ruling underwater cities in a few years. Rumors travelled under sea, and quickly he was feared and respected for his actions. Learning of these rumors about himself, he felt pride. Having a name and being feared, suited him well. He trained soldiers constantly and taught them great tactics and strategies to defeat their enemies with ease. When he felt ready, he conquered camps, cities and underwater castles containing riches beyond his imagination.
Mobay was not seen as evil, he just fought for what he wanted. He did not kill because it pleased him, he only killed his enemies and those who did not show him respect. He craved power and respect, and he got it by being the best.
The story of Mobay is seen as myth, but many still believe it. It is very common for sailors, fishermen and seafarers, to drop something of value overboard to pay Mobay for a safe journey, and to pay their respect. Many believe that by not doing this, Mobay will come from below and sink the boat to claim the lives of those who disrespect him.
