Baz “Smiley” Armstrong – The Crew’s Hard Lesson

Baz “Smiley” Armstrong, Sharkman Enforcer – The Crew’s Hard Lesson

Male Shark Beastfolk (Barbarian, Fighter)

Baz “Smiley” Armstrong advances across shattered planks with an oversized anchor weapon held ready in both hands. His hammerhead features, muscular frame, dorsal fins, and sweeping tail create an unmistakable maritime enforcer. At the table, he commands attention as a merciless deck boss, waterfront bruiser, or aggressive shipboard rival.

Tabletop Lore

Half human and half shark, Baz has earned a thoroughly detestable reputation among his crewmates. His openly confrontational manner and “scare-you-straight” discipline make him one of Baradin’s most effective tools for keeping the crew in line. Unfortunately, Baz has never shown much concern for where discipline ends and cruelty begins.

Highlight

The combination of hammerhead anatomy and a massive anchor-headed weapon gives Baz a powerful silhouette from every angle. His nautical equipment, predatory features, and wrecked dock base tell the complete story of a shipboard enforcer before the encounter begins.

Encounter Insight

Send Baz ahead of his captain to collect debts, question suspected traitors, or silence unrest among the crew. He can become a recurring waterfront rival, an intimidating guard aboard a hostile vessel, or an uneasy ally when something even more dangerous rises from the sea.
