Captain Finnigan Sharp

{ Finnigan Sharp }

     Perhaps the most famous pirate of the current times, Captain Finnigan Sharp has been a threat to ships on the aether and skies alike for several years. His origin remains mostly unknown (and unconfirmed), but he is assumed to be the same young man that was a graduate student of the Official Armada of Zeelex's academy—who had the same name—that went missing after the deployed ship was skyjacked by pirates. 

     Under the assumption that this Finnigan Sharp is indeed the same young man from the Official Armada of Zeelex, his origin is slightly more traceable. Sharp enrolled in the OAZ academy at age sixteen, leaving his service as an Astral contemplative of a Brizendebese temple in order to pursue a different path. He had been sent to Zeelex with a group of contemplatives that were supposed to merge into Whitethorn Temple, but the process was delayed due to a "structural" incident at Whitethorn Temple. According to the records of the academy, Sharp was an orphan with an unknown blood mix, although it was suspected that he was a meld. He was raised in the temple his entire life—until he joined the OAZ academy. 

     Sharp completed the program at age nineteen (with the rest of his class), having a near-perfect academic record and graduating with position of captain (which is a fairly rare occurrence). He was given charge of a crew that was to be deployed in Veydof, but the ship was attacked by pirates on the way and never made it to its destination. The entire crew was assumed dead for more than a year, until there was a series of attacks on ships crossing the Keyea-Deep Aether. The crews of these ships were unharmed for the most part, but completely robbed of their cargo. The events on several ships were fortunately recorded in logbooks that survived the voyages. After this particular string of robberies, the name "Finnigan Sharp" became a common one in modern logbooks, describing him as a dashing young man that is uncannily polite and has a very respectful crew—which gives some reason to his fame as a pirate.

     Sharp was captured by the Wudailish Royal Armada nearly a year and a half ago, but escaped before a trial could be arranged. As of now, sightings of Captain Finnigan Sharp are extremely rare, and he is assumed without a crew.
