Villads

Villads was once an unsuccessful pirate, and is now a captain for-hire. He and his trusty parrot Berto cruise the waters in search of cargo and passengers who will listen to Villads' sometimes long-winded, and always weird wisdom. He is the captain of a ship called "The Ruthless".^[1]

Appearance

Villads is a middle-aged man with orange hair and a thick beard that is tied into three individual braids at its bottom. Due to losing both eyes, he wears two eye patches double-crossing over his nose, one being black and the other a shade of brown. He also has a long scar running down the right side of his face.

Personality

Villads possesses a wisecracking sense of humor that tends to cheer him and others around him up. His blindness has granted him the experience in navigating and sailing without the need to see. Villads also believe that life is like a river and that despite the rough turns and bumps it gives, everyone should flow with it instead of turning against it.

Skills and Abilities

Sailing: Despite his blindness, Villads is an expert sailor who can tell the strength, speed, and direction of the wind.

• The name of Villads' ship is a pun on the fact that his wife, Ruth, doesn't like to sail, therefore she is never aboard the ship.
