“The greatest happiness is to scatter your enemy and drive him before you, to see his cities reduced to ashes, to see those who love him shrouded in tears, and to gather into your bosom his wives and daughters.”

Bio
I'm Latino and a former Marine, the username has nothing to do with the pirate even though I love pirate lore, it's because I've been called that in real life (Barba Negra which means Blackbeard) due to my beard. I love the BG games, I played the originals BG1 and 2 and love BG3, it might be my favorite game ever. I read a lot of D&D lore and love the Universe, I have never played the real-life role-playing game and never will since it's not my cup of tea, but I do love the video games like a stated before.

OC Bio

 * Blackbeard was a former soldier, he fought in different wars for Kingdoms that never appreciated his services. At some point, Blackbeard got tired of fighting wars that only benefitted the people in charge, why risk his life for those that he does not even know and receive no benefit from? Blackbeard decided to leave the Military and make his own fortune, after years in service, it was time for him to be a bit selfish and just enjoy himself. Unfortunately, the skills of a warrior can only get you so far, and since Blackbeard was born a normal man with no connection to the Weave, he could not use magic. During one of his journeys, he found a tome that spoke of pacts with devils and demons, it spoke of how these pacts could give people power, all he needed, was to get the attention of a Patron. During his travels, Blackbeard was ambushed by bandits, he barely survived but did managed to defeat those bandits, leaving them barely alive. He took this opportunity to sacrifice them in search for a patron that would answer his call, once he killed them, a Marilith showed up, she was representing the Marilith queen herself, Shaktari. In exchange for sacrificing warriors in the name of Shaktari, Blackbeard was granted Warlock abilities, he was finally able to make his fortune. The exact details of the pact are known only to Blackbeard, Shaktari and her favored Mariliths, all that is known, is that once in a while, Blackbeard captures a warrior, and sacrifices him to Shaktari, increasing the power of the Demon Lord known as the queen of Mariliths and also his own.
