Fowler

Fowler was a ship captain that sailed the seas around the Dragon Coast, such as the Dragonmere, during the mid–14 century DR.

Description
He had the gray-green skin and strong, jutting forehead that were common among half-orcs of the Realms. He had gray eyes, and prominent yellow fangs and large tusks that lent to his nickname.

Personality
At sea, Fowler was a stern and unforgiving master, insistent that a ship's captain was its ultimate authority and anyone that dared question their directions were mutinous scum.

Fowler valued his ship's well-being over that of most of its crew, often hiring criminals and other less-desirable types. Anyone lost during a voyage were simple the sacrifice that Umberlee required to ensure safe passage for the rest.

Activities
For a time in the 1460s DR, Fowler captained the Storm Sprite, a cog he obtained by theft.

Relationships
Fowler was an ally of the Harpers, and was acquainted with the likes of Vaerana Hawklyn.

He had a hopeless crush on a half-elven woman named Sharee that worked on a tavern in Saerloon.

History
"Now, you alley-spawned son of a tavern hag, open the weapon lockers before the witch calls the squids to drag us all down to Umberlee."

- Fowler, barking orders to the Storm Sprite's crew.

In the, Fowler agreed to give save passage south across the Dragonmere to Ruha, a novice agent of the Harpers. During their journey, they encountered a Shou caravel being attacked by a dracolich. Under Ruha's insistence, Fowler sailed the Storm Sprite towards the other ship and managed to save its passengers, at the cost of their own vessel. Left stranded at sea clinging on to the remnants of their ship, Fowler and Ruha were rescued by the people they themselves saved, and given passage to Pros.

Fowler remained with Ruha as her traveling companion under the promise that he would be given a new ship to captain by the Harpers. He accompanied her to the Ginger Palace south of Elversult, disguised as a burly Bedine man named "Fowal'sid", and fortunately escaped when Ruha had caused great alarm in the embassy. He returned later with Vaerana Hawklyn, as the Lady Constable came to negotiate Ruha's release after she had been taken prisoner.

The gruff but affable sea captain finally met his demise after Vaerana and the Maces of Elversult had retrieved Ruha and ventured back to Moonstorm House in Elversult. The first night back, Fowler and the mansion's cook Silavia were slain by the traitorous cleric of Mask, Tombor the Jolly.
