Once the good captain who sat beside Maevyth at brunch and groped her under the table, he became a grotesque, flesh-eating creature after consuming stones. Chained in a cellar, he bears a half-melted face, spikes jutting through his skin, and a heart protruding beneath it.

Description

The Captain bends forward, his spine protruding through his milky-white, translucent skin in lizard-like spikes, with veins visible beneath the surface and his heart bulging through his chest. Half his face has melted into a blank expanse without eyes, nose, or teeth; the other half has a sunken eye socket, a deformed nose, and a skull-like jaw with pointed teeth. He is a grotesque, monstrous presence.
