Background
Lark comes from a large family of Iomedaen missionaries. His parents brought them to the Shackles in a misguided (he feels) attempt to save the souls of the pirates and their victims alike. Growing up on the islands (he was born during the ocean crossing) Lark has always felt at home on the water and never tires of traveling from one port to the next. Where he never felt comfortable is within the strictures of religion as practiced by his family.
Avoiding punishments for impiety and greed first taught Lark the joys of hiding contraband. When his teenage rebellion hit hard he took those skills to the sea and sought to make his fortune from the illicit cargoes that flow endlessly through the Shackles.
Lark enjoyed the positive attitude encouraged by Golly Fleetfoot on the Aurora’s Kiss and there he found a taste for adventure as well profit. As much as Lark repudiates his family’s teachings their morals still linger. He has learned to enjoy a good fight, but has no heart for cruelty or needless slaughter.
On the Aurora’s Kiss Lark worked with the ship’s carpenter and the cargo master. He was happy to learn all he could about keeping valuable goods safe, unbroken and hidden when needed. He imagines much of his future wealth will come from moving goods through the Shackles and past local authorities. Lark also sought to become one of the crew’s go-to sources for special items. Extra grog and unspoiled food were a forte. He is not yet sufficiently skilled in reading value to turn much profit from small luxury items.
Lark is young and looks even younger. Almost gawky, he doesn’t appear to have finished growing yet. He isn’t as charming as he thinks, but his large, hazel eyes help with his much-practiced “innocent look.” He is deeply tanned from a life outdoors, and the sun has bleached blond highlights into his longish hair. It’s often worn in a bun or topknot.
