Personal history
Grayce was born to merchant parents in a small shore town in Nomura. While she was an adept student, quickly learning her parents' business, she always longed for more. She spent hours in the local tavern each evening learning what she could from the visiting sailors. While she was a favorite of the regulars her business savvy also caught the attention of a newcomer who easily convinced her to join his crew. Thus began her life as a pirate on the Blackguard.
Pirate's Apprentice
Kallako did well on the ship, earning the respect of the crew with her confidence and mercantile experience. She used her knowledge to assist the crew in locating profitable trading routes to pillage, and always seemed to know where to sell their stolen bounty for the best profits. After several years her captain grew jealous of her skill and popularity among the crew and planned for her to experience an "accident" during her negotiations in port. Her quick reflexes served her well, and she was able to extract the assassins' client with their last breaths. Sharing her discovery with the rest of the crew earned their agreement to assist her in turning the tables on her opponent and planning a mutiny. Kallako was now the captain of the famed Blackguard.Disappearance at Sea
The Blackguard's reputation grew in infamy, as did the description of her fearsome new captain. Ships completely altered trade routes in efforts to avoid her attention and still she seemed to anticipate them. The Blackguard Ocean itself seemed to work in her favor, with foul weather delaying shipments while fair winds filled the Blackguard's sales. Enraged at the lost business many coastal cities mobilized their armadas hunt down this fearsome pirate. On a fateful day during the height of growing season they were finally able to catch her ship between two military fleets. The Blackguard fled towards the deep ocean, pursued by the fleets. The fleets were catching up to the beleaguered pirate ship when the ocean itself joined the fray. A sudden storm assaulted the opposing armadas, decimating the aada ships until only one remained. The surviving ship began an effort to rescue any survivors, and while many sailors from the attack fleets were rescued Kallako, her crew, and the Blackguard were never seen again.Accomplishments & Achievements
Tales of her exploits are varied and fantastical, with many detailing adventures of running down or grounding merchant ships overflowing with enough gold and treasures to draw a Feral Dragon's attention. In some tales she then defends her ship and crew from a dragon. In others she successfully evades capture by outrunning an armada, or even drawing down a storm from the heavens to decimate the opposing ships. One popular tale involves Captain Kallako fending off the greedy tentacles of several sea monsters before hiding the treasure on their secret island headquarters.
These tales vary in their details but all describe an agile and cunning Katanoj with her loyal crew surviving and thriving in spite of all attempts to stop them.
