Description
The Janissary, a sea demon, and a former slave giant of the City of Karash turned captain of the Venatores, a gang of confederate privateers serving the Duke of Kovalt. Karash is a city-state known for its violence, corrupt culture, crime, and a seemingly fanatical lifestyle of gunpowder and destruction, it is known as the "Mortar City, the Realm of Fire and Steel" by outsiders due to the people's excessive use of gunpowder and unending bloodthirst, so much so that it's used for everyday things and even recreational drugs. One thing's for certain, the rule of fire and might govern all within the city.

Alongside other pirates and privateers, a more accurate description of soldiers such as him, are "Bashi-bazouks," violent, disorderly brigands that rely more on loot than pay. Although not a true janissary, he got his name due to two things, the discipline of his crew, which was unusual for bashi-bazouks, and his decorated helmet resembling that of the Janissary Corps, elite royal guards loyal to the Grand Sultan back when Zervan was still a whole empire. These soldiers of the old were slaves only in name, in actuality, they had some of the highest privileges in society and were known for their fierce reputation of being commanding figures in the Zervani political field. Some were so influential, they even controlled the empire from the shadows, appointing a puppet sultan to obey their whims. Inevitably, greed, schisms and divisions caused some factions of janissaries to revolt, resulting in the decline of the empire and its eventual fall. Because of this, the term "Janissary" is used more as an insult, as the people of his home city of Karash see it as an underhanded tactic to appear trustworthy and strike when the moment is ripe.

Zervan, now a shadow of its former self, is but a muddle of barons, dukes and princes vowing for supremacy in a frigid archipelago situated in the Northern Panthalassic Ocean loosely held by a confederate government trying to prevent an all out war. The head of the united government is the Premier, who assumes office within The city of Djarshava in Rashat. Though the current state of Zervan isn't as strong as during its peak, it still boasts a considerably powerful navy, headed by The Grand Marshal of Rashat. The Zervani Navy uses advanced armoured warships never seen before such as Barracuda and Siren Class Dreadnoughts, Baghatur and Bey Class Destroyers, Scylla and Charybdis Class Cruisers and lastly, Janassa Class Battle Proas. These ships can outmatch and outmaneuver most of the conventional ships, which is why other nations are reluctant to attack the archipelago. Rumours say there are phantom ships nicknamed "Iron Krakens" which can submerge underwater. The very thought of these ships lurking in the depths of the archipelago can discourage anyone from attacking the confederacy.
