Hongjoong was known to be the most dangerous and fearsome captain in Cothorix. He and his crew, Ateez, are traveling to Alynthi to find their missing cromer that was known to held untold abilities beyond man when another pirate crew stole it from them.

When they reached the port they already found another pirate crew had ransacked the stealers, having the pirates tied up and beaten while the cromer was in the hands of what looked like the captain.
