Personality: Captain Malvus is the most successful pirate captain currently sailing the high seas. Previously known as One-Eyed Malvin he has made a quick rise in rank to captain of his own vessel, after which he didn't waste time to start forcing other captains to serve under his rule. Malvus's fleet has quickly grown over the years and is best known for being run strategically sound and hard to catch due to clever maneuvering.

Malvus is a rugged looking man, not one you'd expect to be a strategic mastermind. A rough, unkempt beard and a strong physical appearance overall, but his most "eye" catching characteristic is his milky glass left eye.

What few people, if any, are aware of is that his glass eye is the source of his rapid climb in power. The eye contains the spirit of an old, highly intelligent, evil being (Malstrom the Matriarch). His spirit once locked up in the marble eye Malvus now uses to plug the empty hole. This spirit know manifests himself through Malvus, combining both of their spirits into a single entity. The eye's tactical and strategic wits combined with Malvus's natural charisma, ruthlessness and personal strength make them the perfect ruler for any pirate fleet.

Malvus's mighty fleet and growing system of black markets and supply ports makes him one of the most wanted and feared brigands in all Ankhur.

Occupation/ Title: Captain of the Shadow's Scorn.
