First Mate Venchenzo

Medium Humanoid (vinci): Fighter 8

    This hulking brute of a man stands almost six feet tall and must weigh at least 300 pounds - all of it dense muscle. His eyes watch you warily with a faint sneer on his face.

    Venchenzo hails from the mainland somewhere, but has never been clear as to where exactly. For the scars that criss-cross his body and the faint aura of menace that surrounds him, nobody has felt like pressing such questions.
    What is known is that he claims that his father was a man who spent his whole life dragging him, as a boy, to all sorts of strange places, including Vinci Grande. He claims that is where he got his weapon which he lavishes care on. It is a greatsword that can loosen the blade into a spiked chain with some kind of hidden switch and back into a solid sword in an instant. The metal it is made from has a shifting, almost oily-looking, sheen on it and glints with hints of blue in the metal. Not only is the blade an interesting bit of rare clockwork, it is also enchanted - he can make it disappear or turn into something an Ogre might use at his whim.
    The man is completely dedicated to Captain Tranio - obeying him with an attitude akin to worship. And it is said that the foul-faced fellow is not above doing dirty deeds for the Capptain when they need doing. He keeps tight order and disipline on the ship, softened by the diplomacy and silken words of his Captain.

    Combat
    Venchenzo is a terror in battle with his amazing strength and his ability to change the shape, length, and reach of his favored weapon as the situation needs. There is not a man or woman of the crew that is not convinced that he capable of killing anyone or anything he meets.
