Aquila Steller

## Early Life

Aquila was born on a series of sky islands to the far East, the Starfelia Isles. He and his brother, Aetos, were both taken into the family business from a young age, sky piracy. Their crew, the Iron Wings, was a smaller crew run by their father Captain Steller. They took to the life of pirates not for the riches, but for the fun and freedom.

### Recent Life Events

As Aquila grew, he began to shoulder more responsibility in the crew. Aetos being the older brother, was awarded the title of Division Commander, with Aquila being his second in command. The two brothers had made a fair number of successful ventures on their own, but they often came into conflict with another company of mercenaries, Corvus Corps.

### Prior to Oracle

After a recent failed raid on a Corvus Corps camp, Aquila, along with the rest of the Iron Wings, were on the run from an entire fleet. Due to having a smaller crew, they were able to sneak through to a small island, but were unable to account for the surprise storm that was about to hit. As debris flew everywhere, a large branch hit Aquila and sent him over the edge of the small island and down to the mainland for the first time.

### After Landing

Having landed in the land of Oracle, Aquila went searching for some means of returning home. After a few days though, he soon discovered that he would be marooned for quite some time, given his father would need time to regroup before he could send a search party. This led Aquila to Leafton, a kingdom situated in the jungle. He built a small sky ship to serve as his temporary home, along with a bar so he didn't have to give up his favorite past time; drinking. Through a series of total coincidences and a completely legitimate election, Aquila has risen to the top of Leafton government and now rules as the Pirate King of Leafton.

### Short Term Goals

To find his footing on the mainland until he is able to reconnect with his brother or father again. First, building a small skyship, and then some wealth to take back home.

### Long Term Goals

To return to his home land, reconnect with his father and brother, and end his family's feud with the Corvus Corps.

### Appearance

Aquila has dark brown and white feathers, a bright yellow beak, and green eyes. He would prefer to have his old gear, but for the time being he's wearing a tattered disguise from his last raid. He also has an Iron Wing tattoo hidden by his feathers on his right arm, a tradition of the Iron Wings.
