Personal history

Davy Bones wasn't always a vengefull ghost. Davy was born to the renowned McGannis family. While growing up Davy wasn't like his peers who coulnd't wait to kill their first beast or spar until the sun goes down. No, those things never interested Davy. Davy had always been intrigued by the sea.  By age 6 he could read maps and knew how a boat worked. It wasn't before long before Davy left Shill in pursuit of his one true passion. Being on the open seas. Some dare say that in his time there was no equal to Davy's sailing skills. Weathering the worst storms like it was a stroll through the woods. While mastering the seas someone took an interest in him. Umberlee, Goddess of the Deep which man dared to try and conquer her seas. She threw all her might at him, summoning the worst sea storm man has ever seen. For 3 days and 3 nights, Davy and the crew of "The Flying Shillman" battled through the storm. After those 3 days Umberlee gave up and wanted to reward the man who had conquered her.  For Davy it was love at first sight. During their romance Umberlee gave a sacred task to Davy. For him to be the ferryman of souls on sea.  Honored by such a thing, to show his love Davy agreed to set foot on land once every ten years. When those 10 years passed and Umberlee was nowhere to be found, Davy felt betrayed and broken changing his name to Davy Bones. Now Davy sails the seas of Korthia and takes vengeace upon all poor souls who dare cross his path.

"What! You don't know of Davy Bones! Then let me tell you his story. He was supposed to be the greatest sailor of his time and fell in love with The Goddess of the Deep. Hah! I wonder how that would've worked out. Davy got his sacred task of ferrying the souls of those lost at sea to her realm. Once every ten years Davy could set foot upon land again hoping to finally reunite with his love, but she never came. When he realised she wouldn't come, betrayed and broken he returned to the Shillman. Now he hold the seas in terror destroyed each and every unfortunate soul he comes across.
