William Jones – Revenant of the Damned Galleon

William Jones, Mutinous First Mate – Revenant of the Damned Galleon

Male Human Undead (Fighter, Rogue, Warlock)

William Jones emerges beneath a deep hood with a curved cutlass held at his side and a long coat trailing behind him. His withered features, wrapped clothing, and haunted coffin base transform the former first mate into an unmistakable revenant of the sea. He brings grim authority to the table as a ghost-ship guardian, vengeful antagonist, or spirit trapped within his own unfinished betrayal.

Tabletop Lore

William Jones was once first mate aboard the vessel now remembered as the Damned Galleon. Legend claims he led a mutiny, murdered his captain and crew, and sought a greater share of their bounty—only for the ship to crash against a wall of rocks surrounding an island that appeared from nowhere. The dead vessel still trawls the seas, guarding the treasure that condemned its crew. William remains bound by vengeance, but anger and anguish prevent him from recognizing its true target: himself.

Highlight

The sculpt combines a restrained revenant silhouette with a deeply narrative base. William’s shadowed face, curved blade, wind-drawn coat, and coffin surrounded by restless remains create the impression that the Damned Galleon’s dead are rising in his wake.

Encounter Insight

Use William as the guardian of a lost bounty, a recurring apparition aboard abandoned vessels, or a deceptive guide seeking vengeance against the person who destroyed his crew. The truth of his mutiny can turn a simple ghost hunt into an investigation built around guilt, distorted memory, and self-inflicted ruin.
