Deimos

Deimos was orphaned when his parents were lynched for studying the arcane arts in a society that sees magic as taboo. His parents, knowing the mob was coming, sent Deimos away on the first ship that would take him. Being perceptive he knew something was off, his suspicion proving true as he saw his house burning from the shore as the sip set off three days later.

The ship was captained, on paper, by a meek, yet effective captain, his wife the real leader of the ship as Deimos would learn shortly after the ship set sail. The wife was quick to notice his aptitude for magic, slowly preparing him for her own reasons over the following months.

Deimos noticed too late that the captain's wife intended him as a sacrifice, being saved only by luck, fate, or a combination of the two. He now serves on a ship as the cabin boy for a cursed crew of pirates.
