**Finnegrin** was a Tidebound Elf mage who ruled over Scumport with an iron fist. He was killed after his former bodyguard Elmer tossed him into the mouth of a leviathan.

## Appearance

Finnegrin was an adult Tidebound Elf with grayish blue skin, dark indigo coral-like horns with orange tips, gray eyes, pale blue fins as ears, broad shoulders, strong hands, two gill slits on each side of his neck, as well as a splash of facial markings that resembled freckles. He sported a black goatee and a wavy black hair that was tied into a bun. His clothing consisted of a dark and long heavy coat, a white tunic with orange collars, light gray pants, black gloves with barnacles on their knuckles, as well as black boots. Worn around his neck was a necklace with a pale pink seashell as its pendant.

## Personality

Finnegrin was a ruthless and selfish pirate captain who possessed enough power to make others, such as Elmer, fight on his behalf. It was his iron-fisted strength that made him the unofficial ruler of Scumport. His signature move for keeping his subordinates afraid and loyal was to use Ocean magic to freeze the blood in a person's body, incapacitating and inflicting great pain on them all at once. He would flip a coin to determine the fates of his captured enemies. If heads, he would drown them in the icy depths. If tails, then they wish it had been heads.

Finnegrin was business savvy and willing to listen to the requests of others and give them a chance to impress him, regardless if the business was legal or not. Nonetheless, he was known for only making deals in his favor. However, if they failed to meet the expectations they built up in his mind, then he would see to it that it would end very badly for them.

While most elves are appalled and disgusted by dark magic, Finnegrin was the opposite. He asked Callum for the spell that slew Avizandum so that he could kill Domina Profundis in order to avenge the death of his favorite pet Giant Hermit Crab *Shelley* and gain total dominance over the seas.

Although Finnegrin could be courteous towards potential allies, he was also vengeful and harbored a deep grudge for anyone who crossed him. He claimed his greatest desire was to achieve true freedom as a pirate, but in reality, his greatest desire was to control all of the seas and everyone around him to maintain his power. However, being born with the Ocean arcanum, he knew deep down that he would never truly be able to control everything, and that secretly terrified him.
