Davy Roach

Davy "Razor Face" Roach, born Herkk Kearnin, is a white dragonborn that was once a pirate lord of Shady Port. He received the nickname Razor Face as it was rumored that he would sharpen his own scales on his face to cut people in battle. He is the captain of the Dragon's Revenge.

Not much is known about Davy Roach's climb to pirate lord, but many that remember him in Shady Port claimed that he was an angry individual and was prone to drinking and fighting most nights before he became a lord. Whenever he became a pirate lord, his anger seemed to be partially subdued.

As a pirate lord, the biggest objective Davy tried to push was that the pirates needed to unite and attack Espen before war came to their own doorsteps. When he was unsuccessful in convincing the other pirate lords to take action, he enlisted his first mate Radcliff to blow up The Emerald Eye, a ship in port. Davy then pinned this attack on Espen and gained the support of many in Shady Port. Still, the other pirate lords would not agree to go to war and so Davy left with many of Shady Ports residents to build his own army, The Armada of Demise.

The Armada gained strength in numbers over the years, and it was later revealed to the other pirate lords of Shady Port through Rakkesh, Flynn, and Jack that Davy had a new goal in mind. He was attempting to collect keys to a dungeon below Brinebeard's fortress to the South of Shady Port in order to contain power over a Kraken. Alistor James had been scouting Davy Roach's whereabouts and found that he had collected most of the keys he needed, but there was one on Aloris and one on Shady Port island. Davy sent The Armada, with The Challenger at the front to attack Shady Port and recover the key there. His own mission was to find what he believed was the last remaining key on Aloris.

The key from Shady Port was recovered, at the cost of The Challenger sinking, but it was never found out whether or not Davy was successful in retrieving the key on Aloris, as he was sent to the eighth layer of hell. Jack had commanded a hag to do this deed.

Several weeks later, Jack reached out to Davy via sending spell offering his help to get Davy out of the eighth layer of hell. Davy responded that he didn't need Jack's help, he knew who Jack was and that he would be seeing him soon. Jack sent another sending spell the following day where he found out that Davy said he was still in hell, had made some friends, and would soon be sending a gift to him.

When the party found out the Davy had the remaining keys, they traveled to the eighth layer of hell to retrieve them, or kill him trying to retrieve them. When they finally met up with him, a very bloody and dangerous combat ensued, where Rakkesh was using certain moves that he had learned from Sturgard Strongbreath. In the final moments of the fight, Davy realized from these moves that this was his little brother, and he dropped his weapons and hugged his brother. Rakkesh now realized that Davy was in fact his older brother he thought to be dead, Herkk.

Herkk explained how he was resurrected by his girlfriend Neyla, and a priestess named Claudia. Him and Neyla traveled all around Espen looking for Rakkesh and Neyla made Herkk use a different name. He chose Davy Roach. Eventually they found out about the plot that murdered the Kearnin family, and the king's involvement as well as Varrick Noblehorn. When they confronted Varrick, he killed Neyla in combat. Herkk was at a loss after that and spent several months drunk in Flaxstead. Eventually Captain Karl O'Doule, pirate lord of Shady Port, found Herkk and offered him a job on his ship. He worked his way up in Shady Port, and eventually challenged a pirate lord for their position. Before the challenge, he shaved his scales down to a point, gaining the name Razor Face. He eventually started The Armada of Demise as previously stated and travelled to Brinebeard's Fortress, where the Elder Brain gave him powers and brought the Dragon's Revenge up from the depths of the ocean. He was meant to find the keys, but once he realized the terrible power that was the Elder Brain, he decided to find the keys so he could slay the creature. Before he was able to collect them all, Jack sent him to the eighth layer of hell.

After telling the party about this, he encouraged the party to not go to Brinebeard's Fortress yet, but instead help him seek revenge on the King and Varrick by travelling to Flaxstead and assassinating the King.

The party manages to gain an audience with the King during a festival. At this festival, Rakkesh and Herkk sneak into the King's quarters, and assassinate him, and finally getting vengeance for their family. Since Jack and Flynn assisted in helping Herkk and Rakkesh with their revenge, Herkk agrees to help them all get rid of their tattoos by slaying the mind flayer on Clavis Isle.

The party travels to Shady Port, but during that time, Herkk had a very different journey through the Fey Wild, where he met some creature that kept him there for some time. He eventually showed up at Shady Port, but did not divulge too many details regarding this. When Herkk found out that Hunter Haywerst had betrayed him and gave the key to Karl O'Doule he killed Hunter and wanted to kill Karl as well, but the party talked him out of it. They later managed to sink Karl's ship, take the key from him, and sailed to Clavis Isle. There, Herkk assisted the party in fighting their way to the mind flayer, and even though he was stunned for a good portion of the fight with the mind flayer, he was able to break free and slay the creature before his brain was sucked out.
