Martin Firewell

Martin is a Human Barbarian and Captain of the ship called The Faithful Sailor formerly called The Umbra.

Martin grew up in the village of Keekin which sits northwest of the Burnt Cap Mountains in the nation of Heskana in the kingdom of Aekekin. He spent many days looking out into the sea and on a good clear day he swore he could see land out on the horizon. He would see the ships pass by and dreamed of a day he could travel on those ships.

As he got older he went to his mother and father, Gwendolyn and Mal, and told of his dreams of traveling the seas. After many days of the talks of sailing on the great ships his parents told him that they should bring it to the tribe elder, Anware Firewell. Anware could see that Martin would not give up this dream and approved Martins request.

After 26 years on ships he has been forced into the position of Captain. He served six years on the Nightfall under Captain Donte Adora, and eleven years as the Quarter Master on the Tidal Wave and finally the last nine years as 2nd Mate under Captain Samuel Martin.

Due to Captain Samuel Martin's disappearance the remaining crew as elected Martin to move to the position of Captain. He is not totally comfortable with this promotion but he feels he must step up and continue to lead his crew.
