## Description

### Appearance

Killian is a slim, tall, attractive mauve tiefling with tall, spiraling horns. He has been seen wearing a billowing white shirt unbuttoned all the way down, pink harem pants, and bangles and jewels draped on his wrists and ankles. He has ribbons tied around his horns and seashell earrings hanging from his ears. He generally goes shirtless.

### Personality

Killian is ostentatious, flirtatious, and charismatic. He isn't particularly smart (described by Lucky as "wonderfully stupid"), but was a talented pirate during his time on the seas. He enjoys a lavish lifestyle and the admiration of those around him. He is known to be incredibly lucky. Through the trappings of decadence and the shows he puts on, he has demonstrated a genuine care at times, especially when speaking with Ro. He is known to have an affinity for rum, claiming it is the only thing he is missing in his island life.

## Relationships

#### **Rose Xiloscient**

Lucky was Killian's quartermaster aboard *The Fire Song.* She was, surprisingly, the more level-headed of the two, and the two functioned as a great team. She was not always sure whether Killian genuinely cared for her or was just using her, but he seemed to be very happy to see her upon her arrival at Fish City.

#### **Tommen Rumnaheim**

Tommen was increasingly angered by Killian's claims to godhood amongst the kuo-toa and his continued stalling when it came to the hydra's cave. After the hydra was defeated, Tommen confronted a flippant Killian and beat him, at the protest of Ro. Killian did not fight back. Tommen later destroyed the constructed Shrine to "The Captun Killr".

#### **Coralin Divine**

Coralin was once a crewmember under Killian on *The Fire Song* before her mutiny. She shot him in the chest and left him to die on the shores of Marillion. He now accredits a dislike of her to his reluctance to return to the seas, calling her "The Bitch of the Sea".

## History

Killian was the captain of *The Fire Song* for a number of years, his crew including pirates such as Lucky, Coralin Divine, Gingerfoot, and One-Eyed James, until the mutiny led by Coralin.

On one of his pirating adventures, he and Lucky murdered Captain Yuzzon Amberhorn of *The Pisces*,amd the majority of her crew. According to the few survivors, under the command of Captain Killian, Lucky forced the majority of the crew off of a plank, where they were left to drown in deep waters while the rest of the crew counted gold. They tied up two of the *Pisces'* crew members, who led them to a secret location where Captain Yuzzon Amberhorn was stashing gold that she was stealing from the kingdom. Instead of taking this gold back to the authorities, Captain Gerison and Lucky kept the gold. Later, they handed out some of these coins to workers who helped rise up and destroy textile factory machines.

Coralin shot Killian in the chest and left him for dead on the shores of the isle of Marillion. His body was found by the kuo-toa. His arrival happened to coincide with an onslaught of fish after a long drought, and the kuo-toa believed him to be a god. Killian went with it– for survival, at first. The kuo-toa nursed him back to health, and then he continued the charade, assuming the role of their god.

He began to tutor the kuo-toa in Common, and helped them with the construction with several shrines and signposts scattered around the area.
