Appearance
A lean, weather-hardened half-elf man with salt-browned skin, close-cropped black hair, and a narrow beard threaded with gray. His left ear is pierced with a brass ring shaped like a fishhook. A faded green tattoo of seven curling waves runs from his right wrist to his elbow, one wave for each year spent at sea. He dresses in practical dark trousers, a loose linen shirt, a salt-stained blue coat, and soft-soled boots. His eyes are gray-green and constantly measuring exits, rigging, and people's hands.
Mannerisms
Marr keeps one thumb hooked beneath his belt whenever he enters a new room, as though bracing himself against a rolling deck. He pauses before answering important questions, listening for the rhythm beneath someone's words. When irritated, he taps a three-beat pattern against nearby wood, the old signal used aboard the Nimble Wake to warn of danger.
Personality
Marr is observant, dryly charming, and difficult to surprise. He treats every conversation like a trade, quietly estimating what each person wants, what they fear, and what they are pretending not to know. He is generous with food, directions, and practical help, but never gives anything without remembering the debt. After seven years at sea, he is more comfortable with a shifting deck than solid ground.
Ideals
Freedom. No harbor master, merchant prince, naval officer, or patron owns the sea, and no person has the right to own another person's choices.
Bonds
The crew of the Nimble Wake is his family, and he will risk almost anything to learn what happened to them. He carries the ship's ledger and intends to repay every living sailor who lost money because of its disappearance.
Flaws
He cannot resist opening a sealed container, reading a private ledger, or testing whether a locked door is truly secure. He lies reflexively when asked where he has been, even when the truth would be safer. He also has a deep, irrational fear of being trapped below deck with no visible route to the surface.
Quirks
Background
Marr Tavi was born in a dockside district where half-elves were useful enough to hire and foreign enough to distrust. His human mother kept accounts for chandlers, while his elven father vanished aboard a merchant vessel before Marr could form a clear memory of him. Marr learned early that a ship's manifest could lie more convincingly than a person, and that a quiet hand, a sharp eye, and a well-timed story could keep a hungry sailor alive. He began as a runner for harbor thieves, then graduated to slipping through cargo holds and altering labels on crates that were never meant to be inspected. Seven years ago, Marr signed onto the cutter Nimble Wake and never truly came ashore again. He worked as deckhand, purser's assistant, negotiator, and eventually the ship's unofficial intelligence officer. He has spent those years moving rare medicines, salvaged relics, spices, maps, and stranger wares between ports, staying only long enough to restock, sell, and leave before creditors, customs officers, or old enemies caught up. The Nimble Wake disappeared during a storm three months ago, leaving Marr with its ledger, its battered compass, and a debt he refuses to explain. Now he travels from ship to ship and port to port, selling what he can, collecting information, and quietly searching for the vessel's wreckage, because one entry in the ledger suggests the storm was no accident.
