Editing Darklord (section)

==Captain Alain Monette==
Darklord of L'ile de la Tempete. A violent and cruel privateer and captain of the ''Ouragan''. Eventually his crew snapped from his vicious temper and regular abuse and mutinied against him, keelhauling him thrice before throwing him into the sea. This was meant to be an execution- keelhauling, or dragging a sailor around the keel of a ship to be cut by the barnacles growing on it and hit against the ship's hull, is traumatic even when it's only done once and the victim is taken on board the ship afterward. But Alain survived, and washed up on the shores of a small island in the mists. Vampire bats came to drink the blood from his wounds, and Alain survived in turn by eating them- which turned him into a werebat. 

Alain thus recovered from his keelhauling, but physical health was a cold comfort as he soon found that even with the flight he gained as a werebat, he could not leave his lonesome island. Driven mad by the isolation and cut off from the sea, he now vents his frustrations on those who sail as he no longer can. His island contains a lighthouse, but as with many things in Ravenloft, it's a trap in the guise of something helpful. Anyone, even outside the Mists, who investigates the light is drawn to the hazardous waters near his lighthouse, where most are shipwrecked. If any survivors somehow make it to shore, Alain will greet them. He'll be quite friendly, at first- he's starved for company and news of the outside world. But he's even more starved for flesh, and within a few days at most he will attack and kill them.
