Axton Harrowfel

''Knight-Admiral Axton Harrowfel has been at war on the Abyssal Ocean his entire life. He was born at sea during the Battle of Hellhorn during a cunning ambush by the Undead Armada. The Undead plundered & sank nearly all of the entire Eastern Phoenix fleet. His father, a knight-captain, was killed in a gambit to buy time for women & children to escape. Axton & his mother were aboard one of the three ships that managed to retreat. He served firest when he was old enough to fill the role of a powder monkey aboard the ill-fated battleship 'Hurricane's Claw'. Over many years & successful campaigns he rose in rank to Knight-Admiral & entrusted with command of multiple ships including the Phoenix Empire's oldest active battleships: 'Fury's Hold'.''

''Axton had a daughter that was beyond precious to him; Merridan Hope Harrowfel. Alas, while aboard the scouting sloop 'Glimmer', Merridan's ship was caught in a hammering storm that ran her aground near Undead waters. The ships wreckage had no remains aboard, leading to the assumption the surviving crew were press-ganged into Undead servitude. Now, with vengeance at the forefront of his mind, Axton remains at sea, refusing to set foot on land until the Undead scourge, that has taken his family from him, are utterly annihilated.''

Axton brings superior firepower to battle. Ships customized for cannon range, velocity, and damage are overtly lethal with him in command.
