Editing Darklord (section)

===Captain Jacobi Robertsonn===
Darklord of Whal. Born a fisherman's son on an unnamed world, Jacobi grew up in seas that were plentiful with a father who loved him and loved his life on the sea. Then, when Jacobi was young, he and his father were caught in a terrible storm whilst fishing, during which the youth spotted a giant whale - a ''leviathan'' - playing in the rough surf. Play that ended with the breaching whale crashing right on top of the small fishing boat; Jacobi awoke washed ashore, scarred, surrounded by debris, and with his father missing.

Years later, Jacobi was commanding a trading galleon called the Sailor's Blessing with his beloved only son Abram when the ship was caught in a tropical storm. On the fourth day, the ship hit something in the water and began to sink, and during the scramble to escape, Abram was swept over the side and vanished. Spotting a leviathan in the storm, Jacobi blamed his son's apparent death on the creature, and in fact convinced himself it was the same whale that had killed his father. 

Returning to port, he purchased a new ship, the Retribution, and became a whaler, venting his wrath on whales indiscriminately for the next decade. He was beginning to lose all hope of ever attaining vengeance when he finally encountered the biggest whale he'd ever seen - what he was sure was the leviathan that had killed his father and son. He personally led the hunt and harpooned the beast, only for it turn and smash his boat to pieces. Driven by rage, the wounded Jacobi hauled himself onto the beast by climbing the rope of the embedded harpoon; even as the surviving crew fled, he stabbed the whale over and over again, all the while cursing it, himself and his crew with all his soul... until everything went black.

Then he awoke and found himself on a strange, yet vaguely familiar, island; the land of Whal. A place of whalers who, to his surprise, deferred to him with their problems. He has since figured out he rules Whal, but is cursed to never leave it.

As a Darklord, Jacobi's curse is that he has become a rare oceanic [[therianthrope]]: a [[wereorca]]. He has distinctly mixed feelings about this form; he  acknowledges the appropriateness of it, but he loathes being associated with a whale. He's also been cursed to suffer from intense sea-sickness if he ever sets foot upon a water-borne vessel, so whilst he does enjoy the freedom offered by his alterante form, the fact he can only hunt as an orca means he misses the thrill of commanding his own ship. Whilst normally he has control over this changes, he is forced to assume orca form on the days of his father's and son's deaths, days that are also marked by intense storms.

Perhaps his true curse, however, is that despite his obsession with killing the leviathan he blames for ruining his life, the creature never appears in the waters off of Whal.

When Jacobi closes his borders, the sea parts down to the sea floor, creating a 300ft wide chasm between the two bodies of water. Flight is, of course, impossible. Nothing explicitly prevents you from walking across the chasm and then using water-breathing magic to escape through the water on the other side, though.

Jacobi has no life-preserving powers outside of his immunity to any weapon that isn't +1 or made from whalebone. He is a 16th level [[Avenger]], however, which combined with the aquatic capabilities of his form makes him more dangerous than you'd think.
