Butcher of the Sea.
Kabudyan Qyzh'vizar yhl Bahrbazm Zragar Bhalthalo ybn Darmilcar-Malchus Yhl-Maccal (a.k.a. Butcher of the Sea)
Zragar Yhl-Maccal is a Duryadi Kabudyan Zhervizar and military general famed for his victories against the Fiergish navy during the Thrakiot war in the Duryadh Dynasty, who became an exemplar of conduct for both the Duryadi and Fiergish. Despite the fact that he had no prior naval training, Kabudyan Zhervizar Zragar was never defeated at sea nor lost a single ship under his command to enemy action, and military historians have placed him on par with Admiral Narkul Cralthud as one of the greatest naval commanders in history. His title of Neavol Meagear di wer fogah okarthelic, literally means "Naval Commander of the Three Provinces".
Over the course of his career, Admiral Zragar has fought in at least 23 recorded naval engagements, all against the Fiongians. In most of these battles, he was outnumbered and lacked necessary supplies. His most famous victory occurred at the Battle of Z'ar Rilark , where despite being outnumbered 300 warships against his 140, he managed to disable or destroy 51 of the 300 Fiongians warships without losing a single ship of his own.
Although his successes were often ignored by the Duryad royal court during his early militaty career, after his victory in Thule various honors were bestowed upon him, including the title of Ithdifidavuraryte; Duke of Loyalty and Warfare, an enrollment as a First-class military order of merit during the reign of Haleema. Over time, Admiral Zragar became a national hero in Duryad, and remains so today.

Accomplishments & Achievements
Remembering the boy he captured in the Thrakiot channel, Zragar decides to adopt Morthos, sympathizing with his loss of family. Over the course of military training, Zragar and Morthos bond.

Though he believes he can command a ship as well as anyone, his fear that his desire for adventure will lead hm into trouble, prevents him from allowing him to command. Their relationship is built on mutual respect and understanding for one another. Exept for his son eldest Roghar, and his adoptive son Morthos, he is the sole survivor of the Maccal Clan.

His demeanor as a soldier and former Dzhassary allows him to empathize with the responsibility of those under his command, but leaves little room for insubordination and ego.

Travis Beacham describes Zragar as " a man who hunts down his enemies, like a shark hunting its prey " with regrets in regards to the lives led by the people around him. Understanding that none of them can merely forget their duty to the world, he refrains from filling his comrades heads with wishes and fantasies of a better life. Zragar sees himself as the "fixed point" that keeps the entire The Duryad Imperial Royal Navy focused on the goal of defeating the Fiergish threat. Zragar commands great respect amongst his soldiers as shown by their reactions to him choosing to lead the charge himself and his rousing speech before The Battle of Z'ar Rilark .
