## Description

Damien Blackfoot was a tiefling. He stood 5 foot 6 inches tall (1.67 meters) and nearly 150 pounds (68 kg). He had purple eyes, which contrasted with pale grey skin. His hair was black with streaks of silver. He had three tattoos, one on his neck with the flag symbol of *The Crooked Star.* The second is a tattoo of a sewing needle laid across a hammer on his right hand. The third tattoo is a crescent moon on his left hand.

Damien usually wore a long black coat, grey v-neck shirt, purple scarf, and buccaneer boots. Due to his relationship with a skilled tailor, his clothes were always immaculate and well-kept.

## Personality

Damien was usually very calm, especially around those he cared about. He was compassionate towards others, often willing to help almost anyone in need. Much of his time living on *The Crooked Star* and *The Night Queen* was spent teaching and training Marni Werner.

He was particularly vocal when those he viewed as enemies challenged him or his friends. Every so often, this characteristic would land him in trouble, but none of which his friends couldn't help him out. When Damien or his friends were insulted, he had a very short temper and would often seek a fight rather than walk away.

## History

### Early Life

Damien Blackfoot was predicted to be one of the best blacksmiths as an adult. This association came because of his adoption by Lorena Wolf, who owned the famous blacksmithing shop, the *Twilight Moon*. He spent his days as a youth as a permanent apprentice underneath his adoptive mother. Damien tirelessly worked to improve his craft and impress Lorena, who was constantly tough on him and expected perfection. His other mother, Rem Constantine, was the opposite of Lorena. She was gentle during his upbringing and often guided him through the emotional problems in his life. When Damien was 16, he joined the crew of *The Black Dragon.* Damien would see success in his younger years as he smuggled precious gems, weapons, and more. His success ended when William Kidd attacked *The Black Dragon* and killed the entire crew. Damien abandoned the ship and went to Marshwind Cove as the only survivor.

### Aboard *The Crooked Star*

Shortly after the destruction of *The Black Dragon*, Damien sought refuge in the small fishing town of Marshwind Cove. There, he would spend time working as a deckhand in the harbor and soon found himself being hired by the council of Marshwind Cove. While performing odd jobs for the board, he met his future companions that would later form the crew of *The Crooked Star,* with the ship's captain as Vivian Marisen. After about a year's worth of performing odd jobs and tasks for the council of Marshwind Cove, Damien, and the crew took a break to work towards their personal goals and aspirations. During this, he spent more time learning from his mother and, shortly after, was last seen leaving the port of Marshwind Cove. His whereabouts afterward were unknown.

Upon returning to *The Crooked Star*, the work that Damien and the party had performed led to a greater reputation in the region. This reputation led to defeating the Sahuagin in the area, which they would eventually succeed. Damien and the crew had to care for the Sahuagin, that escaped the final battle. Notably, the Devil Shark that had been allowed to escape by the crew was becoming a significant problem for merchant ships in the region. Once again, *The Crooked Star* was asked to take down the beast.

The fight against the Devil Shark proved difficult, but the crew prevailed and slayed the monster. However, this came with the price of the sinking of *The Crooked Star.* During its sinking and even afterward, Damien felt he had failed and let the crew down. This sinking of the ship he was charged to care for left a mark on him for the rest of his life.

### Aboard *The Night Queen*

Damien and the rest of his companions replaced *The Crooked Star* with a galleon named *The Night Queen,* which brought on a new era for the crew. Ildirem Venyra now captained this ship. This crew's future vision of the region was drastic, as they sought to abolish slavery and the smuggling of enslaved peoples. The smuggling of objects mattered little to them, but only one faction stood in their way of true freedom of the seas. The crew formed a title of power called the Sea Kings, and underneath it, the Black Sails Alliance. The Leviathan Order stood directly in the way of the Sea Kings and Alliance's goals, and they would meet on opposite ends on the open ocean.

#### The Tidal War

Over the course of a year, the Sea Kings and The Leviathan Order would clash, leaving many ships and their hands lost at sea. The battles would come to a head when Damien and his friends successfully killed Lady Tide and subdued Stede Bonnet, two of the four leaders of The Leviathan Order.

Damien had been captured while traveling on the sea by The Leviathan Order. A finger, which the Leviathan order cut off, was sent to the crew of *The Night Queen* as a warning about what would happen to him if the war continued. This forced the staff of *The Night Queen* to face off against Blackbeard and the rest of his posse for a final fight.

The final battle between the Sea Kings and The Leviathan Order occurred off the coast of the neutral pirate city Siren's Embrace. The battle saw the most significant clash between the two forces, causing both sides to lose many lives. Damien's friends took on their enemies at The Leviathan Order headquarters to rescue him. The party engaged what remained of the Leviathan Order, successfully killing William Kidd and Blackbeard. Damien soon recovered and made a full recovery after the war.

### Reign of the Sea Kings

   After the Sea Kings became the de facto protectors of the region, Damien retired from pirating life. Damien and his long-term boyfriend, Fezhad, were ordained by Ildirem Venyra. Shortly after, he opened a blacksmithing shop named the Joker's Crescent next door to his husband's tailoring shop. Damien and Fez adopted three children during their travels, an echo of when Lorena Wolf adopted him.
