Gar Shatterkeel

     Once a sentinel of Waterdeep’s storied streets, Gar bore the badge of order until the day acid met flesh. Scarred beyond recognition by Amira Abalone in a violent clash of smuggler and soldier, his voice was torn from him, and with it, his place in the world.

     He vanished, slipping beneath the city’s surface, into the coils of The Unseen. There, in forgotten corridors, he learned the art of veiling pain with magic, of making his face a lie and his scars a mask. But Gar did not stop at survival. He sought transformation.

     The trident Drown, whispering with the hunger of the deep, found him. Or perhaps he was called. With it, he forged a cruel tether: ensnaring the soul of a sailor—the unfortunate and kind-hearted sailor who would become Finn Abalone. Through the artifact known as the Amulet of Living Coral, their identities were merged, their fates intertwined. One name. Two lives.

     Now, the figure who walks the Dessarin Valley wearing the title “Gar Shatterkeel” may be both… or neither. Cloaked in storm and subterfuge, he hunts the adventurers known as The A-Team. To what end, even I cannot say. Not yet.

    But the waves are stirring. And when sharks taste blood in the water, they are always the first to strike.
