The great thing that about being the son of a famous pirate lord is that mentioning your name earns instant respect, though likely less now that he's gone. The bad thing about being the son of a famous pirate lord is that it's harder to earn respect on your own, because of being overshadowed by the memory of your father. Icero Atmor has been running into that problem for the last few months, as that's how long he's been without a ship.
For as long as he could remember, Icero and his father Rayick shared two passions: sailing for profit and firearms. He was born in Drenchport, and thus had plenty of reason to want to leave home for a life at sail. As soon as he was old enough, his father began taking him on voyages and teaching him to shoot. As the years went by, Icero proved to be a capable sailor and an accomplished marksman. To avoid any claims of favortism, Icero's post on the ship was kept well below what he deserved, knowing that he had no potential for advancement, Icero began looking for another ship to sail on. No one would take him, however, as most captains either doubted his credentials, or felt that taking on Icero would mean answering to Rayick.
It was while he was looking for a new ship to sail on that Icero learned that his father had sailed into the Eye, claiming that he would conquer it where others had failed. Icero doesn't know what would possess him to do such a thing, as his father has always been level headed and clever. If he ever get's the chance, he would like to try his hand at the Eye. Icero has no illusions that he will make it in and find his father alive, he believes it to be a suicide mission. Even so, he thinks he owes it to his mother to bring his father's body back to Drenchport.
