Dashiel D'arcy Damon III

Simply known as "Cap'n Dash" to his crew, Dashiel D'arcy Damon III is the elegant, yet fearsome, captain of the Black Diamond, a ship that sails the Shining Sea.

Description
Dash is a handsome and well dressed man, tall and slender and never clean shaven. Though captain of a galleon, he gives off an air of nobility. He is usually dressed in finer clothes, ruffles abound.

Personality
Dash is a seemingly frivolous swashbuckler that has been known to go from whimsy to deadly in half a heartbeat. For all of his frippery and posturing, he’s a brutally effective commander, and he has no hesitation about administering punishment, up to and including death. It is this mentality that has made the Black Diamond such a successful ship.

Those that get to know Dash on a more personal level, however, find an honest and thoughtful man in emotional turmoil.

History
Dash was born in Athkatla, and it is known that he married an elf woman there with the surname Nitoah early in his life. This tryst was not totally approved by her family, however.

Dash left his family in Athkatla to pursue a career in Calimsham. It was thought that Dash sent his family money when he could. Dash lived in a very high class house in Calimport - raising question as to his full role in the city.

Dash and another captain, Aasma Quaddash of the Diamond Dust, seem to have had a history, as their rivalry and interactions suggested a more intimate past. Just how intimate the relationship was, however, may now never be known.

Some weeks before his death, Dash arranged to have his wife and young daughter brought to Calimport from Amn. They were on a transport from Suldolphor when the ship was attacked by the Kraken in the area. The ship was lost with all hands.

Present Day
Dash had an impressive run as the Captain of the most successful ship in Calimport - the Black Diamond. He efficiently steered his crew through encounters with underwater monsters, the undead, and rival ships. However, beginning with the injury of Aasma at his own hands, and continuing with the death of his family, a black cloud fell over the captain. After an ill-fated, yet successful, run at revenge against the Kraken that killed his family, Dash ultimately met his fate in the Battle at Sudolphor between the Calimport Armada and the Rundeen Fleet. After dueling with Aasma to the death and succeeding, a member of his own crew, under some kind of trance, stabbed the weakened Dash in the back. The poisonous blade took Dash from the world minutes later, his body sinking to the depths off the Suldolphan Strait moments later with his ship and a frantic Loulla at his side, despertly trying a resurrection.
