A Valkuran Captain
Neckan Blake, as he is commonly known, also bears the name Neckan Al Nabhan. He is a Captain of Valkur; an adventurer, cartographer, navigator and explorer. He does not know his exact age but thinks he is over the age of 30. He is often seen wearing blue or blue-green colors and carries a heavy cutlass and shield. His arms and hands are decorated with black-work tattoos and he wears only silver rings in honor of the goddess who guides his path at night.
A tall, solid man, he is a self-described "mongrel". A white haired, part-albino with blue eyes. His early life is something he would rather forget but it has had the effect of driving Neckan away from his own country and past, he would describe himself as "belonging only to the ships, the wind and waves - never the earth."
Blake is his adopted name, after the older Waterdhavian captain who rescued him from a sinking vessel and looked after him as a son. The elder Blake taught Neckan the tools of his trade as a mariner, how to navigate by the stars and Selune, how to respect the oceans of the world and more importantly how the most vital part of his life would the people who surround him - the crew.
Neckan is well-mannered and treats people with the same fairness that was afforded to him but his temperament can sometimes be mercurial.
He was drawn to serve Valkur as a young man and has remained a steadfast captain who puts the welfare of sailors first but still enjoys the thrill of taking calculated risks and daring. The only saying he took from his homeland is his favorite:
"It is better to have lived one day as a tiger than a thousand years as a sheep."
It may not work out sometimes but he has loyalty to the Captain of all captains, who will one day call him home to Safe Harbor when his journeys are at an end.
