Ah'm a southern sea sorcerer, ah' used t' be a merman, but after finding a book of dark magic in the name of unrequited love, and changin' my appearance to a human's, ah' found that my love had married a human man. Ah' vowed to detest love until the end of time. My book breathes, he is my commander, my master. His name is Mort, and he saved me from a life of the misery of bein' in love. Love only hurts. Ah' help typically rich mer that cross my waters, but poor aren't unwelcome.
