Vrax is a broad shouldered hobgoblin with burnt orange skin and short, black hair tied in a tight topknot. He wears a heavy blue captain's coat over a simple leather vest. His arms are covered in ritualistic tattoos of anchors and crashing waves that glow with a faint blue light when he casts protective magic. He always carries a piece of waterproof chalk for drawing sigils on the ship.

Vrax is remarkably disciplined for a pirate, often treating the Crimson Current like a military vessel. He is quiet and observant, preferring to watch the horizon for storms rather than join in the crew's rowdy singing. He values order, efficiency, and the structural integrity of his home.

Vrax was once a tactical logistics officer in the Iron Shadows legion, but he grew tired of the endless, grinding wars for land that felt meaningless. He deserting the army and fled to the coast, finding work as a hull-mender on merchant ships. His talent for abjuration caught the eye of the Crimson Current's captain during a chaotic boarding action. While other wizards were throwing fire, Vrax was weaving a web of force to keep the masts from snapping under heavy cannon fire. The pirates realized they didn't just need a blaster. They needed a shield. Vrax joined the crew not for the gold, but for the freedom of the open sea and the challenge of keeping a pirate ship afloat against the fury of nature and the navy. He treats the ship like a living creature, whispering incantations into the wood to keep the rot away and the spirits of the deep at bay.
