Without her in the way, he grew to treat his fellow crewmates as his own family, the one that he never had before.

However, when he proposed her, she stabbed him in the throat as a warning.Įventually, Serafen became the ship's mindhunter, while Malnaj moved off to captain a vessel of her own. Serafen isn't sure what made her hate him so much - it wasn't love, though he speculated that trying to get him killed twice within the first fortnight was a sure sign of deep love. She ruthlessly exploited Serafen, shaking him down after each raid to ensure he couldn't square anything away. More importantly, he protected him from the worst excesses of Malnaj, his shiphunter. Remaro, the ship's surgeon, took him in under his wing, showed him how to work the ropes, taught him to read, write, and especially navigate, all the while teaching him the Principi traditions. Serafen liberated himself, grabbed a blade, and took revenge on the slavers - then Captain Bastien brought him as a ship boy aboard The Sorcerer.

His life changed when the slave ship he was aboard was set upon by The Sorcerer. He made a name for himself and was shuttled from one pit to the other by the slavers. Born to a slave mother, he never knew his father and was torn from her arms to be used as a slave warrior. He's also one of the more moderate Principi members, once you get past all that fur and swearing: He believes in a third option for the Principi to take, between total anarchy represented by Aeldys and elitist tyranny championed by Captain Furrante. He's short, wild, and absolutely foulmouthed. A proud member of the Príncipi sen Patrena and one of the most accomplished shiphunters in the Deadfire Archipelago.
