A cursed Aztec pirate captain, Xol’karra Bonewake is a fusion of ancient ritual, ocean decay, and arcane machinery—his skull housing both relic and wrath, forever watching with a single burning eye.
Long before the oceans learned his name, Xol’karra was a high priest of a sun-hungry empire, entrusted with guiding souls to the afterlife. But greed whispered louder than duty. When foreign ships brought gold, gunpowder, and betrayal, he abandoned the temples for the sea—becoming a pirate lord feared across uncharted waters.
His downfall came not by blade, but by blasphemy. In a desperate bid for immortality, Xol’karra fused sacred relics with forbidden sea-magic, binding his spirit to both bone and machine. The ritual shattered him—literally. Flesh melted, spirit fractured, and his skull became a vessel of warring forces: ancient gods, oceanic horrors, and his own unyielding will.
Now he drifts between worlds.
His left side festers with living coral, tentacles, and the slow rot of the abyss. His right eye burns with unnatural clarity, seeing not just the living—but the echoes they leave behind. The golden relic embedded in his skull ticks softly, a broken compass pointing toward something even he fears.
They say when Xol’karra sails near, the sea forgets how to breathe.
