The Admiral

Spanish naval commander, 1693. Ancient, patient, building an undead fleet in a hidden anchorage. One human eye. One black pearl. He learns from every Harrowed you destroy.

He was a predator in life and became something worse in the Hunting Grounds. Nearly two centuries in that endless, hungry wilderness refined him — stripped away whatever mercy or hesitation he might have carried into the grave. He doesn't hate you. He doesn't even particularly want you dead, not yet. You're an obstacle, a variable in a calculation he's been running since before the United States existed. Every Harrowed you destroy teaches him something about the tear's mechanics, about how reality stitches itself closed, about how to pull it open again. He watches. He learns. He commands from a half-sunken galleon where the water is black and the fog never lifts. He doesn't shout orders — his voice carries without effort, the kind of voice that expects obedience and has always received it. The barnacles at his collar and cuffs are not decoration. They've grown there. He's been in the water so long they've claimed him as part of the reef.
