Ernest Sigrun

## Heritage

Ernest Sigrun was born to fallen Athos I the mad or better known as Kocsar Athos Sigrun. Ernest was born somewhere between Rathnir and Eldham with his father. His mother is unkown but she was likely a slave. his father is a whole character of his own and will have a wiki made for himself, what is important to note is that Athos I was once the emperor of Volkore-Wessreich, a failed empire in western Rathnir in the lands currently known as Ryzan/Bardonia. Ernest himself had never seen the city himself but had no such interest. His relationship with his father was not a healthy one, Athos would repeatedly beat his son and train him to become a pirate, failure was not accepted and would always result in any form of abuse. This had an effect on the young Ernie as he would grow to resent anything resembling his father, this would mean family members, former friends and the very city the man came from. There was one exception however which was the Silver Captain or Sarlician Dermonth Sigrun, his nephew. wether he knew Sarlician was his nephew can be debated. A tragic childhood that demanded perfection and grew resentment turned Ernie into a spiteful vile narcistic man who only wanted more power. when Ernie was a teen he first came into contact with a mysterious entity that would soon be revealed to be the One Eyed Kraken. The kraken kept promising Ernest glory and revenge on all that had wronged him, which coincidentally was everyone and everything. Ernest claims the Kraken convinced him to kill his father Athos when he was 16, the fact is however that Ernest may have acted entirely on his own volition and not meeting the Kraken would have merely post-poned the inevitable homicide. The only other encounter he would ever have with a blood relative would be with Anastasia the Rotten.

## Ernest and Barbossa

It is not common knowledge how much of an impact Ernest had on the founding and very identity of modern Barbossa. What started as a set of colonizers dead set on owning the trade between Eldham and Ryzan Ernest had influenced it and pushed the new state towards an existence of piracy. the very name of the state was given by Ernest (true fact). he had pushed for war with Florandia and with Neo-Drakaes, neither of which risked losing lives to the growing Barbossan dominion. On the surface this pleased Ernest, but something festered. A lust for power, stemming from his resentment of his father and to be better, or in this case worse then his father, he viewed Athos as the most vile wretched creature to have ever lived and for his own suffering to be worth it Ernest longed to become an even worse being then his father could ever dream of, Ernest stayed in contact with the Kraken who had given him a simple task: go to battle and you will come out more powerful then you could ever imagine. So Ernest followed the Kraken with his fleet riding his flagship the Witched Squid and went to battle east of Eldham against an immense impossible fleet of pirates. There were 0 survivors, all had died including Ernest himself, all according to the Krakens plan. months later his corpse now decrepit and corrupted. Lifeless yet free, Ernest had escaped the bloodbath, or so he thought.

## Ernest the Deep One

The deep ones deserve their own wiki page but in short they are mortal being whos souls have merged with a Krakens. A deep one is gifted much power especially in the water, a deep one can also absorb souls and grow more powerful at the blood of it's victims. Ernest grew more powerful from sins, kinslaying, blood, sacrifice, all of it contributed to his power. Ernest has been a deep one for many years but spent very few of those fighting wars. early on he spread his influence through Barbossa but this remained small as the leadership grew worried about Ernies nature. after a half a year Ernie had lost most of his freedom to the One Eyed Kraken who had inhabited him, during the long period Ernie went missing due to the Kraken looking for scores to settle with other deep sea demons. in these few years the Deep One he was north of Eldham gobbling up the remaining Krakens to ensure it's own power. There was little left of Ernest, his life is a mere blur constantly haunted by the memories of his past and the bright golden eye of the Kraken commanding his every breath. He felt nothing and his personality was stripped down to his narcissism and lust for blood. Ernest is a vile puppet, hollow and a controlled by the tentacles of his Demonic marionette.
