Chris

Chris (クリス) was the first mate of the Melusine Pirates, as well as an Atavist.

Appearance
Chris was a grizzled middle-ages man with short blue hair and a beard. He has a muscular build and a long scar across his nose.

Background
Chris was originally an imperial soldier for the Grandort Empire, but deserted due to disagreeing with how the empire was complying with Holy Church’s forceful ways. After wandering the continent for a while, he ended up in Andika. Chris eventually came to take care of a young girl named Meiru after she was forced to live in the slums due to her mother being abducted by Baharl Devault. The two of them spent almost the next two decades gathering more people who shared their hatred for Baharl until they had managed to gather a pirate crew, with Chris serving as first mate to Meiru.

Meiru Melusine
Chris was like a father to Meiru. He raised her after her mother was abducted.

Miledi Reisen
Chris was initially so scared of Miledi that he wouldn’t even face her due to her family's reputation as executioners, but after hearing her story and seeing how cheerful she always acted, he eventually warmed up to her.
