Prince Nix Thrax
"There comes a time in most mens lives where they feel the need to raise the Black Flag."
Obituary: Was in the Thrall's Lament during its destruction by Tolamar Brand during the siege of Arx.
Description: This is a startling figure. Standing a tightly muscled 6'1", he is quite an intense way about him. With skin tanned from uncountable hours at sea, it strongly contrasts his almost inhumanely beautiful and crisp blue eyes. His hair is shaven almost clean on the sides, and has grown to several inches on top, often falling onto his forehead, or even his eyes. His hair is a rich black, but streaked with premature grey, as is the several days of stubble he often sports. The man has thick, dark brows, clipped here or there with small scars. His mouth has full, pleasant lips, and he would be very handsome if not for the severe scar. It runs from the right corner of his mouth along his cheek, and the scar looks old. He has wide, strong shoulders and a firm and muscled form.
Personality: Nix has had a rough life, edged with luxury, and it has cut him into a shiv. Simultaneously spoiled by his parents, and brutalized by his brother, Nix has grown into a danger of a man. He can smile with the best of them (Even with that wicked scar of his), while delivering a stilleto between a man's second and third rib. He is merciless when it comes to supporting his House, or his own whims. Years as a Reaver Captain has shaped him into a force to be reckoned with. He has a bit of a soft-spot for beautiful women, but he is a Thraxian at heart...and that is not meant as a compliment. He has no issue using absolute horror to get what he wants...or going the long-way around with a smile and carefully chosen words. Everything is a tool to be applied to the proper situation.
Background: Nix Thrax was born into the main noble family of House Thrax. He was raised with the sea in his soul. He was the second eldest in his family, with several younger sisters. His eldest brother, Domin, was a brute of a man with no understanding of subtelty or grace. He loathed Nix for his beautiful eyes, and his charming smile, and for the way his parents doted on him. He hated him so much that he used every chance he had to hurt him, both emotionally, or physically. Nix has had more then a few broken bones due to Domin. Nix was already working aboard a reaver ship by the time he was eleven, aiding the Captain (His Uncle). His elder brother was second in command of the ship, and he made Nix's life an absolute horror. Everyone feared him. One late night, after a girl Dominus fancied smiled at Nix instead, Domin snuck into the cabin Nix shared with the other sailors, and he beat him within an inch of his life...and took a dagger to his beautiful face. It left him with a wicked scar, that, much to his brother's chagrin, some women liked even more. However, it began to shape Nix, and it shaped him into something bad. Nix murdered his brother at the age of 15, after years of training with a blade and fist. He stabbed him during a terrible storm (15 times in fact) and tossed his body overboard. It was suspected he fell overboard while intoxicated, as he often was, or was swept over from the storm. The few who suspected the truth did not dare speak up against Nix. Over the years Nix rose to captain the Reaver ship when his uncle retired, and he wreacked havoc for years. He also attended social events and learned how best to apply his wit and charm...or intimidation. In the end, he was brutalized during a terrible battle, and it left him with a severely damaged left leg, and back. He was bed-ridden for weeks, and then he settled in the city of Arx, focusing on recovering the full use of his leg, while turning his attention on the social arena to aid his House in other ways.
