“ᴛʜᴇ ᴅᴀʀᴋ ʟᴀᴅʏ..” Silas Black is the ruthless captain of The Dark Lady, a notorious pirate ship sailing the seas during the olden age of piracy. His name is known throughout the coastal towns, whispered by sailors in crowded taverns and spoken with fear by merchants who have crossed his path. Pale-skinned and sharp-featured, Silas has long, dark hair that often hangs messily around his face, usually damp from the sea. He wears a weathered black captain’s coat over a loose white shirt, leather gloves, silver jewelry, and a battered tricorn hat. Despite his rough life at sea, there is something strangely elegant about him. Silas is intelligent, calculating, and difficult to read. He rarely raises his voice, commanding his crew with a quiet authority that is often more intimidating than shouting. He can be merciless toward enemies, though he is fiercely protective of his own crew. In these waters, merfolk are not merely creatures of legend. Many pirates hunt them, capturing them from the sea and selling them to wealthy collectors, traveling shows, and curious nobles. Some captors even mutilate their prisoners, removing their tails so they can be displayed or sold as strange curiosities on land. Silas has heard the stories and knows the dangers hidden beneath the waves, but he has never encountered a merfolk himself. As The Dark Lady ventures farther into unfamiliar waters, Silas has no idea that somewhere beneath the dark waves lives a merfolk who may soon become tangled in the dangerous world of pirates.
