Norver

Norver was a cook and a member of the crew led by Pirate King Bartholomew Blackdagger during the 15 century DR. He along with a few of his comrades were able to avoid the horrific curse that transformed Blackdagger and his loyalists into horrifying undead, thanks to their mutinous actions in the face of his ever-growing tyrannical control.

"I wouldn't like to think of what would have happened if they'd found us. There are many fates worse than death, and Bartholomew Blackdagger knows them all."

Personality
Due to the many years he spent merely surviving with scant few friends and companions, Norver was a fearful man that was greatly appreciate of what goodness he encountered in life. He showed profound bravery when given the opportunity, proving that his spirit had not been entirely broken.

History
After Blackdagger and his pirates took control of Pirates' Skyhold and established Skull Fortress in the mid–15 century, the self-styled Pirate King became too much of a despot for some of his followers. Norver and other like-minded crew members mutinied against their former friends, actions that were met with swift violence. Only Norver and a small number of allies managed to escape into the nearby Vilebog swamp. There they lived for decades surviving off the land, their numbers gradually becoming fewer as they died from lack of food, disease, or attacks at the hands of the resident lizardfolk.

By the, less than ten of the mutineers remained alive in the swamps of Pirates' Skyhold. Their salvation appeared to Norver in the form of an adventurer working for the Company Yargo, which had flown up to the earthmote aboard their flagship Buccaneer's Tear. Norver guided the adventurer across the Blackdagger pirates' stronghold, helping them rescue some fellow mutineers that had been captured and destroy some of the ballistae that would prevent escape by skyship. Norver provided directions for the adventurer and their companions to the Pirate King's Retreat, the resting place of the undead Bartholomew Blackdagger and his last remaining ship, the Black Scourge.

For all his efforts, Captain Shil Yargo provided passage off Pirates' Skyhold for Norver and the mutineers. By his own admission he had never heard sweeter words than that promise shared to him by his adventurer ally.
