## Description

Nihlis Pelagios was a triton. He stood 6 feet tall (1.82 meters) and weighed nearly 180 pounds (81.6 kg). He had light blue eyes, was clean-shaven, and had pale blue skin. He had short white hair and a necklace displaying his family crest. His ears and lips were pierced with gold rings.

He usually wore silks and linens casually, but when in battle, he donned coral full-plate armor.

## Personality

Nihlis was known for his short temper, which got him in plenty of trouble with his family and friends. He would never be quick to trust anyone and was extremely vain. He cared about his appearance and ability to fight intensely to the point of being somewhat sensitive to either topic. Although he was hot-headed and quick to draw blood, Nihlis would become more friendly to those he cared about, particularly aboard *The Crooked Star* and *The Night Queen*. Over time, with the influence of his friends, Nihlis became more friendly and willing to help those in need.

To strangers, he was still hot-tempered. Although he cared deeply for his friends, he would often cause trouble for them if insulted about his appearance or ability to fight. His friends, particularly Dambel, Ildirem, and Jacob, would always come to intervene if Nihlis became too angry.

## Abilities

Nihlis Pelagios was a man of many talents. His combat ability was unparalleled, as he made his mark as a combat controller. He was able to study his enemies, and figure out their weaknesses, enabling him to take advantage of them should he enter combat. Nihlis was a master of many weapons but preferred the trident and his warhammer. His swimming prowess was also highly noteworthy, as he was a competitive swimmer in his kingdom of Nepria. He is a two-time arm wrestling champion against his companions.

He was also an aspiring painter and often would paint during the parties he attended, usually while sipping a glass of wine. There are only two pieces created by Nihlis that the public has seen. However, it is rumored that his family has more paintings in the royal hall of Nepria. Alongside his painting skills, Nihlis was an excellent cook and served as the ship cook for *The Crooked Star* and *The Night Queen.*

## Possessions

Nihlis prized his weaponry and armor and always ensured they remained immaculate. His warhammer was made of water, and his full coral plate was his usual fighting equipment. His casual attire was a sleeveless shirt that made him appear fitter and athletic, and he would change colors depending on his mood and a magical neck tie that could not strangle him. Nihlis claimed he had many purposes for that necktie, although none of his friends asked further questions.

## History

### Early Life

Nihlis Pelagios was the second-born son of King Atrius and Queen Dimitria as a prince of Nepria. In his youth, Nihlis was strong-willed and had a very short temper. This characteristic landed Nihlis in all kinds of trouble, and he would often find himself being scolded and reprimanded by his parents. These troubling aspects of Nihlis's life would lead him to many problems as a young adult. Nihlis loathed that he was the second-born son and had often lost his temper when dealing with his older brother Damos.

Damos was born with several physical disabilities that prevented him from being a warrior. Still, he was brilliant and contributed significantly to his kingdom with a mix of magic and technology - a perfect fit to rule. Damos was the heir to the throne, which Nihlis believed was his right as a true triton warrior, and he physically assaulted his brother Damos, leaving him battered as he attempted to claim the throne for himself. This action forced his father, King Atrius, to exile Nihlis from their kingdom until Nihlis could fix his behavior and apologize for his wrongdoings.

Nihlis left Nepria and began the new era of his life amongst land dwellers. His journeys finally brought him to Marshwind Cove, where his life would drastically change.
