Editing Darklord (section)

===Miles Havelocke===
Darklord of the Eternal Torture. Born in a coastal city, Miles was pressganged at the age of 15, which ruined his life; he suffered from incurable seasickness, for which his fellows tormented him mercilessly and the bullying captain only made it worse by assigning him to the worst tasks possible for somebody with his condition, ordering him severely beaten when, inevitably, he threw up. With no aptitude for mathematics, Miles couldn't master the art of navigation, and so couldn't hope to progress to the higher ranks of the navy.

Twenty years of this treatment turned Miles into a bitter, miserable bully who loathed the sea and used what little authority he could get to exact vengeance upon those few below him on the ship's pecking order. Why he never simply fled during his first shore leave, nobody knows.

Eventually, Miles' captain was chosen to make a voyage into the uncharted western ocean, to Miles' dismay. But when the captain continued in pressing on in pursuit of ever-richer islands to the west, it led to the ship becoming lost in the waters and supplies running low. Miles seized this opportunity for revenge and began spreading rumors about the ship's officers hoarding food for themselves, ultimately leading a successful mutiny. When his ineptitude at seamanship led to them being becalmed, he led his mutineers to cannibalize the captured officers, gleefully rubbing their faces in their past abuse of him and coming to relish human flesh.

And then, as this supply of food began to run low, they finally spotted land... but, as they rowed frantcially to reach it, the Mists arose and swallowed the ship. When they cleared, the mutineers found themselves in the middle of a sea in the [[Demiplane of Dread]]. Overwhelmed by misery, they sat down and waited for death... and then, a fortnight later, they arose as [[ghoul]]s under the command of Miles Havelock, a Ghoul Lord, and began searching for food and land.

Miles Havelock suffers multiple curses. Firstly, he can never reach land, no matter how desperately he tries - at best, he can get a brief glimpse of the coast before the Mists immediately rise and teleport his ship elsewhere. Secondly, his seasickness has not only survived undeath, but intensified; he is '''perpetually''' seasick and also starving hungry, and these twin pains are why he has rechristened his ship "The Eternal Torture". If destroyed, his essence will inhabit the body of a living prisoner in the ship's hold and consume them from the inside out; the only way to end his curse is to kill him, rescue all of the prisoners, and sink the Eternal Torture, then make for land at full speed.
