Lord Sigmund Malovich
m.k.a Sig Hewett.
Sigmund is of Russian descent though born on the faraway shores of Lochac. He was raised by travelling performers before setting out for a life of adventure on the open seas. Fearing becoming 'too popular' with Port Authorities and several gambling dens, he worked for passage to the Kingdom of Caid. Between sea voyages aboard the Privateer Ship Indigo Rose, Sigmund would perform juggling and minor illusions for the Lords and Ladies of Starkafn - but always sure to keep 'one foot in the sea' should he run into disputes of property ownership, or otherwise becoming 'too popular'. Sigmund was thought lost at sea and drowned for over a decade before mysteriously arriving in Meridies as Captain of a merchant ship laden with far eastern goods. Neither Captain, nor Owner, nor Ships Master give the same story on the ships origin, nor tell the same story more than thrice, and port documents and manifestos always seem to meet with freak accidents...
He is a Man at Arms to Lord Pietro Di Vatavia.
Sigmund Malovich was lost at sea on June 24th, 2018. Rest In Peace, you are greatly missed.
