Cawin's page

Cawin is a strix slave. His master was a pirate who had managed to capture him when he was young. It must have taken a great deal of work to condition him to accept authority without having to break his wings, but his master persisted and he was brought to heel. He was raised as a pet, considered little more than an oversized parrot, until he taught himself to speak Common. He was still a slave, and mostly a spectacle, but the crew decided that he could be a useful crew member as well. They taught him to fly ahead of the ship, and watch for suitable targets. In the event that he needed to defend himself, the crew gave him a musket they had captured but no one knew how to use.

Within a few years, Cawin was considered a valuable memeber of the crew, the common joke was that the Strix was more useful than his master. Obviously this was a point of contention for the pirate that had found Cawin, but even he couldn't deny that the Strix's abilities made him useful aboard a pirate vessel. It was for that reason that he made a surreptitious deal with Captain Redtide. Cawin doesn't know the details of the deal, or really that he was betrayed. All that he knows is that his master told that they needed to have a chat at the Formidably Maid tavern while they were docked in Port Peril. No doubt the captain and crew of Cawins former ship would be rather unhappy to discover he'd been served up to a group of press gangers, were they to find out. The only thing in favor of Cawin's new ship is that he is accustomed enough to slavery that he might accept the explanation that he has been sold.

Like many Strix, Cawin is tall and wiry. He looks fairly muscular, mostly because his body seems almost devoid of fat. His frequently bare back is covered in old brown scars, and a few newer red ones; lashes that trace an ugly pattern across his flesh. His skin and feathers are a bluish black, making him resemble a crow in flight from far away. His fingers and toes are tipped with short, sharp claws, that he somehow manages to manipulate as though they were as soft as fingertips. His ears are long and ponted, like those of a bat, or something close to horns. His hair is short, little more than a short patch of black atop his head.
