Captain Xavier

Pre-Campaign

Captain Xavier was a feared pirate mage on the south seas and coasts of Nexus' central continent. He was the Scourge of the Southern Sea, Thief of the Tall Tide, Shadow Swashbuckler and countless other foul names during his reign of terror. For over 10 years, his ship scoured the seas and made victims of merchants, fishing boats, and even military vessels. But his luck could not last forever and, eventually, his enemies united to be rid to Captain Xavier once and for all.
They lured the Captain into a trap, leaking false information about a fat merchant ship with few enough guards they knew Xavier would take the bait. And take it he did, only to find an alliance of a half-dozen other ships waiting for him. Not even the legendary Captain Xavier could win against so many vessels, but they had him surrounded to prevent his escape back to the open sea. With nowhere else to go, he was forced to flee inland up the Moonflow River.
This turned out to be a rather poor decision on Captain Xavier's part as the Moonflow River is a favorite of the River King, a powerful archfey who often holds his court on its waters at night. Once the moon rose and the stars reflected on the river's waters, Captain Xavier found his ship suddenly docked at the the River King's palace. What exactly transpired between Xavier and the River King is unknown, but the legend states the pirate lord somehow offended the archfey.
In retribution for this offense the River King placed a terrible curse upon Xavier and his crew. Their spirits were condemned to wander the river, its shores, and the surrounding land forever in search of their treasure, which the River King snatched from their ship and hid away in parts unknown. Over the years that followed, some claim to have spotted the ghost of Captain Xavier roaming the land. Not bound to one location like a normal spirit, but forever haunting his way forward searching for his treasure in hopes that finding it will free him from his twisted fate.

Welcome to Haven City Arc

Captain Xavier (who was a wraith, rather than a ghost as the legend said) did eventually find his treasure in the Sinclair Mansion, the abandoned household of an old enemy. Yet he could not touch it, as the River King had hidden it in a chapel to Waukeen, the Merchant's Friend. Xavier's unholy form could not tolerate this consecrated ground and he could do nothing but sit in the mansion for decades, his treasure so close yet always out of his reach. His only source of amusement was attacking the occasional intruder to turn them into a specter, which he dubbed his new crew (even if they were landlubbers).
His haunting came to an end when he was confronted by a group of adventurers who came to seek his treasure. They were not the first to do so and proved to be much more formidable than others who'd made the attempted. Captain Xavier and his specters were ultimately defeated and trapped inside the Cube of Ghost Trapping, though not before Captain Xavier claimed the life of adventurer Vinnie Vice.
