Backstory
The howling wind tore at the sails as Marcus, barely fifteen, stood at the helm, his father's lifeless body at his feet. The storm had taken the crew, leaving him alone with the wreckage of his first command. He chose to steer the ship into the tempest rather than abandon it, a decision that forged his unyielding discipline and tactical brilliance. His father, a stern naval captain, and his mother, a skilled cartographer, had instilled in him a love for the sea and a mind for strategy, but it was this night that hardened him. Years later, at the Battle of the Shattered Isles, he outmaneuvered a superior fleet, but the victory left him with a permanent limp and an ever-present dread of storms, a secret burden he carried with the respect of his men.
