BACKSTORY:
Atticus Fournier, originally named Abélard Galleren Brochard Fournier, was born in Rouen, France in 1644, to Galleren Brochard Fournier II, an Admiral in the English Navy, and Rochelle Colbert, a French noblewoman.

Soon after his birth Abélard and his father moved back to England.

Abélard had always had an interest in becoming the captain of a ship, although his father was more interested in seeing Abélard follow in his footsteps and join the English military. Abélard’s father trained him to be one of the best soldiers that the military had ever had, but Abelard hated the idea of one day having to follow the strict, rigid lifestyle of a soldier. He wanted to sail on the open seas, finding new places and exploring them.

Due to Abélard constantly rebelling and going against his father’s wishes, he had a very tumultuous relationship with his father, and they often fought. The fighting came to a head when Abélard, at age 16, got into a verbal brawl with his father over potentially courting a girl he’d taken romantic interest in, which ended with him laying sprawled across the street outside his home, his father looming over him darkly with a sword in hand, and slashing the defenseless Abélard three times across the face, once on the right side, and twice on the left, declaring that he no longer had a son.

Humiliated, Abelard fled, going by the name Gunther Corvin, and disguising himself as a peasant.

By age 20, “Gunther Corvin” had reluctantly served his time in the English navy, and was now going by the name Atticus, as a semi-homage to his birth name.

Atticus became the captain of a trading vessel, called the Hawke, forming a strong bond with his crew. While on a routine port stop, one of the crew members found a jeweled saber made of some strange metal washed up on the beach of the island they were stopped at, and kept it, taking it on board the ship as they left.

As they began heading back to England, a storm suddenly blew up, huge waves sweeping over the ship and threatening to capsize it. Afraid for the lives of himself and his crew, and knowing they most likely wouldn’t survive, Atticus went around and asked about anything private they would like to tell him.

One by one, each of the crew members yelled out one of their secrets to the wind, and the last to do so was the first mate, who dragged Atticus into the hold and revealed the saber. Atticus recognized it almost instantly as the Storm Saber, a blade spoken of in legends that was supposedly created from the winds of a hurricane, the rains of a monsoon, and the waters of a whirlpool.

Atticus seized the saber, shoved in an empty crate, and ran back up to the top deck, just as the largest wave he’d ever seen smashed over the deck, sweeping most of the crew overboard and splitting the ship in two, throwing Atticus and the crate into the air.

When he hit the water, the sharks swarmed in, tearing into him like a piece of steak. Fortunately for Atticus, it seemed that the sharks weren’t all that hungry, despite biting a sizable chunk out of his back and side, scraping the skin off of his left hand and part of his left forearm, and also chewing off most of his left leg below the knee and and his entire right forearm and hand.

Unconscious from the blinding pain of his wounds, Atticus sank to the bottom of the sea. He would’ve died either from drowning or blood loss, had it not been for a mysterious person (actually the Ocean personified) who took pity on him and allowed him to live.

Atticus healed slowly, the Ocean tending to him and creating items to help him out, such as a peg-leg made from driftwood, or a prosthetic arm(also out of driftwood), or an old hook scavenged from the ocean floor after a recent naval battle.

Once he was fully healed, the Ocean(who called itself Na’Mara) showed him around the phantom island it had created for him while he was unconscious, allowing him the choice to stay if he wanted. Atticus politely refused, telling Na’Mara that it was better for him to go. Na’Mara agreed, and gave him a ship created from the scavenged remains of other wrecks, crewed by undead sailors, and the ability to persuade anyone to do something, or to influence their decisions by varying the tone of his voice or the words he used.

Atticus would later come to find out that captaining the ship, which he would name “the Reaper”, would slow down his aging to almost nothing, essentially make him immortal.

Minutes before Atticus left the island, Na’Mara would gift him with a child from a previous... unholy union between them. The Ocean had named the child Muir’bheag, but since Atticus had a difficult time pronouncing the name correctly, he nicknamed the boy Thorne.

Atticus would go on to become one of the most feared pirates in the region, earning the nickname “Silver-Tongue” because of his persuasive ability.
