Draga Salt-Biter

Draga Salt-Biter was an infamous pirate in the Sea of Fallen Stars turned darklord in the Domains of Dread.

Abilities
Draga had complete control over all sharks and undead within his domain, with the exception of those that had been undead prior to entering. He could summon sharks to his aid and on rare occasions one of them would be a megalodon.

Once per day he could cast a version of animate dead that would raise everything that had been slain within his domain in the last twenty four hours. If there were no obvious enemies, these undead would begin to fight one another.

In addition, Draga was innately aware of any ship that entered his domain and the Dark Powers provided him powers that were identical to that ones he formerly had access to as a priest on the Prime Material plane.

Unlike some lycanthropes, Draga had obtained a level of mastery over his alternate form that he could switch between them almost instantaneously. Like most lycanthropes, he could only be harmed by enchanted or silver weaponry, though he loved to trick his opponents that non-silver weaponry did hurt him so that he could lure them in close.

If ever killed within his domain, Draga's essence would divide and project itself into every shark. Those sharks would then frenzy, attacking and killing any kin they encountered, until eventually over the course of a week only one shark remained that possessed all his essence. Draga was reborn in this shark and able to transform into his human form, but he typically stayed in this form until more shark entered his domain. Since if he died without any sharks in his domain, Draga would die permanently.

History
Born to two sailors, Draga had an innate love of the ocean at a very young age. He was raised to love the nature of the ocean, but at a young age he sailed away from his parents as they became increasingly abusive. While far from port, his ship was attacked by a gang of pirates that hacked apart every crewman and passenger aboard, leaving their bodies for the sharks below. Eventually they found the young Draga in the ship's hold, hiding amid bales of cotton.

With murderous glee the pirates laughed as they decided to engage in shark-baiting with him. They drove a hook through Draga's calf, attached a rope, and then threw the young boy down into the frenzy of sharks. Whenever one came too close they dragged him back to safety, though they allowed some to strike him. In the end they decided to spare the boy's life, unaware that one of the sharks he had been bitten by was a wereshark.

The pirates raised and trained the boy in their ways. Their old chaplain eventually instructed him in the ways of the evil ocean deity Umberlee and when Draga learned all he could from him, he murdered the chaplain to insure that the position of priest on the crew would become available for himself. He continued to journey with the pirates for many years, all the while harboring hatred in his heart.

When he had finally gained the trust of all the crew, Draga began to slay them one by one. A quick death met those who had shown him kindness, a slow and painful one for those who been curt with him. For those who had been instrumental in his torture, they were ripped apart in the water by his shark jaws. Following these events, Draga continued to operate as a buccaneer aboard a ship named Vengeance and made his name infamous across the Sword Coast.
