Arask, the Bully

"You may speak as freely as your willingness to take punishment."

- Arask

Arask, the Bully was a Fallen Captain and the leader of a gang of pirates. He and his crew were hired by Eramis, the Shipstealer, to hunt for the relics of Nezarec on behalf of the Witness. He is encountered in the Pirate Hideout: The Bully activity.

Biography
Arask was a Pirate Lord of the Old Crews of Eliksni legend, known for ruling over his followers through fear and oppression. However, he and his crew struggled to make ends meet, with dangerously low amounts of Ether remaining, leaving the Captain gloomy and demoralized. This changed when he learned of the return of Eramis, which instilled him with hope and an eagerness to answer her call. He commanded his crew to raise the old flags of their Ketch to "sail once more." The Pirate Lord would assist the Shipstealer in her search for the artifacts of Nezarec, eventually managing to find and claim one of them. After he brought it to his hideout in the Themis Cluster, Arask briefly celebrated his triumph with his crew before confronting one of his Dregs, who had betted against finding the reliquary. After intimidating his subordinate into admitting this, the Bully sentenced him to "the blunder booth" as punishment, before his followers carried the shrieking Dreg away. Before Arask was able to deliver the artifact to Eramis, however, their hideout came under attack from the Guardian, who managed to cut their way through his crew. The Pirate Lord attempted to repel the incursion alongside his remaining forces, but was ultimately slain by the Lightbearer, losing his relic to them too.

Personality and traits
As his title suggests, Arask is a cruel and tyrannical pirate who leads his crew through fear and intimidation. He keeps his followers oppressed by punishing those that would dare to disrespect or speak out against him. This much is shown when he sentenced one of his Dregs to death for betting on him not finding the relic of Nezarec. Arask also appears to be very cowardly, often fleeing from battle and sending his followers to fight and die for him, whilst only engaging when left with no other option.
