“I’ll give ye neck a twist!”

-John Weiss

Height: 6’ Age: 54

Many duellists have crossed blades with their rivals in the streets and piazzas of Therae, but none can match the fame and reputation of Admiral J. Weiss, the undisputed king of the Golden Pirate Fleet, governor of Kharamba island, and Therae’s reigning Champion of Duels of Five Points. No man has stood triumphant on the tip of the Colossus‘ blade after taking down each of the Five District Champions.

Not only is Weiss a swordsman of extraordinary skill and a crack shot with his brace of pistols, but he has also mastered many forbidden rituals. When he was shipwrecked in the Lonely Isles two decades ago, the shamans of the islands took him as their pupil and taught him the secrets of their dark arts. Now his magic-laden sea shanties command the winds, and the skeletal zombie mermaid which crests his tricore comes alive by his command, assaulting his enemies with fury and fangs. Thus it is no wonder that Weiss has tallied up more wins than any other duellist in the history of Therae. He has never turned down a challenge (despite it being his right as a Champion to do so), and he ruthlessly seeks those duellists who rack up impressive victories.

Ballads are sung of his lady love who was turned into a Tethys Mermaid and to this day he sails the Eight Seas and Nine Skies in search of her. This is a nigh-impossible task: the waters are filled with endless schools of mermaids, and Weiss’ fleet, though enormous, could never hope to catch them all.

Yet none of these challenges phase his determination. Indeed, Weiss has engaged the services of Aerokinesis Masters to aid in both his piratical profession as well as his search. Now his great flagship Sky Boar (affectionately nicknamed “Windy Pig” by his crew) soars through the skies as well as waves in search of hidden coves where mermaids like to brush their hair. His Sky ship also allows him to hunt for the Chi Empire’s merchant dirigible fleet, by far the richest pickings a pirate could dream of. Such is his reputation that even war ships of the great powers usually turn away when his black sails are spotted in the sky.

But when the winds of the spring come once more, Weiss always returns to Therae to defend his title, ready to face the foolish upstarts that dream of usurping the legendary pirate.
