Ervin “Wave Dancer” Barton – Wanted on Every Shore

Ervin “Wave Dancer” Barton, Water Genasi Scoundrel – Wanted on Every Shore

Male Genasi or Elf (Fighter, Rogue)

Ervin “Wave Dancer” Barton plants one boot atop a sea chest while holding his curved blade with practiced ease. A long coat, wrapped seafarer’s clothing, and a knife-wielding companion perched over his shoulder complete the image of a fugitive who treats danger as another opportunity. He brings roguish character to the table as an outlaw sailor, opportunistic ally, or wanted deserter.

Tabletop Lore

Hailing from Alatet, Ervin was branded a traitor and marked for arrest after evading the call to arms during the Elemi War of Reclamation. With the law pursuing him, he boarded the worst vessel he could find in the harbor and encountered Baradin Blackbeard. That desperate escape began years before the pair would claim the illustrious Gilded Seahorse and build a crew of their own.

Highlight

Ervin’s relaxed stance tells a complete story: one foot claims the chest, his blade remains ready, and a small companion raises its own knife from his shoulder. Together, the details capture a scoundrel who never approaches treasure, trouble, or a negotiation without support.

Encounter Insight

Use Ervin as a smuggler with access to forbidden ports, a fugitive carrying information about the War of Reclamation, or an unreliable guide through Alatet-controlled waters. His outstanding warrant can turn an ordinary harbor visit into a pursuit, while his companion creates opportunities for theft and distraction during tense negotiations.
