Arcana

Virtue: Temperate (The Glyph)

Hubris: Confusion (The Moonless Night)
You receive a Danger Point when this Villain fails to understand an important plot element and that misunderstanding leads to danger for herself or others.

Advantages

Duelist Academy - Valroux
The Bone Hook Hand - Received as a gift from the Devil Jonah when marooned on an island. The bony hand is able to change its shape in multiple ways but also seems to have a mind of its own.

Motives & Goal

Gratitude. To send as many pirates to the Devil Jonah as thanks for his gift to you.

Redemption

Fevrier's redemption is unlikely due to his insane devotion to The Devil Jonah. He won't stop until he is put into the deep, where he believes Jonah will rise him up to bring him more souls.

Deeds

Show eerie resolve in the middle of chaos
Reconfigure the Bone Hook Hand  to suit your needs
Reveal the Devil Jonah as your true master

Schemes

• Hunt pirates for the Atabean Trade Company (1). Stephan's stint as a pirate was relatively short, but he quickly realized that siding with the ATC was a much better idea. Every ship sunk is full of souls to appease the Devil Jonah.
• Kill every member of his original crew (3). Captain Fevrier began his naval career as a noble who bought a commission as a lark. He hated it, his crew hated him and they mutinied. He ended up marooned and, in a desperate move, cut off his own hand and threw it into the sea as an offering for the Devil Jonah. Jonah replied by sending the Bone Hook Hand and the ship that would become The Wolfhound to rescue him. Now Captain Fevrier seeks revenge on the crew that nearly killed him, marking a scar on the Hook Hand arm. There are only three more to go, including the leader of the mutiny, now a Captain in the Montaigne Navy.
• Unlock the true power of the Bone Hook Hand (5). Captain Fevrier believes that once he sinks a ship from each nation of Theah, the Devil Jonah will reward him with an even greater power - to summon and control a sea serpent with the Bone Hook Hand.
