"The captain's features were not human. They were at once, finer and more powerful than those of either the elves, or the subdivision of the Elder who inhabited Eilenach. His eyes were inclined to taper, as did his face, toward the chin. The captain's long hair fell to his shoulders in red-gold waves and was kept back from his brow by a circlet of Blue Jade. His tunic and breeches were of the same quilted deerskin of the Steersman, who was either the same man or his twin."

Name
1: The Captain. He gives, nor responds to anything else.
2: The Steersman. He is deaf and mute. So obviously gives nor responds to anything else.

Race and Age
-Both are unknown for certain.

Appearance
1-The Captain has narrow, almond shaped slanted eyes, and a fine boned narrow face. His hair falls in red-gold waves to his shoulders, and is held back from his face with a circlet of blue jade. His eyes are milky white, flecked with blue. He wears a brown tunic and hose, with sandals of silver, and silver thread. Although completely blind, his movements are graceful and sure, and he always knows his way.
2- His brother, the steersman, is the captains exact twin. Except where The Captain is blind, The Steersman is Deaf. He also wheres the same clothes as his brother.

Personality
-They speak little, save to each other, and even then, no words pass between them. They are both strong yet kind, they have no memory of before the ship and diligently believe they were born with the sole intent to sail on it.

Magic
-Neither the Captain or Steersman are mages, however, the ship is covered in enchantments. The section below contains that information.

Strengths

Weaknesses:
- The Captain and Steersman are quite unexperianced in hand to hand combat.
- They are not as powerful as they appear, and infact if their Golems are defeated, they would be defenseless.
~~~
Water Golem. Golem made of pure Water, a very non-caring one. Uses icy water breath when fighting, but are completely ineffective in melee combat. Water Golems are mainly used by wizards at sea, either to move ships during those times when the wind fails to fill the sails or to toss over enemy ships when at war. Mostly located along the coast of the Southern Santharian continent.
~~~

Possesions:
The Captain
- A Blue jade circlet. This gives him enhanced telepathic ability, however he can only transmit for receive from The Steersman.
- A gold Rapier. He does not use it often, nor does he know how, it is mainly for decorative pourpouses.

The Steersman:
- A Red jade circlet. This gives him enhanced telepathic ability, however he can only transmit for receive from The Captain.
- A Gold and Ebony quarterstaff. Although the weapon could be used in combat, the Steersman is not familier with these uses. When it is inserted in a small hole at the stern of the ship, it can move the rudder according to his thoughts. That is it's inly use.
