Merhab Ardalion the Marked

IDENTITY:
Last name: Ardalion
First name: Merhab (meaning in his native language "the one divided between land and sea")
Nickname: Merhab the Marked, Merhab the Cursed, Captain Ardalion,
Age: 733 y.o.
Family: Missing
Race: Water Elf x Mountain Elf
Location: On his ship, the Kohara (which is the name of a major goddess in his mother culture)
Geographical origins: Born in captivity, he does not consider himself to be from anywhere in particular, but he embraces the traditions and cultures of both his parents, that is to say, that of the water elves (elves living around the sea) through his mother and that of the mountain elves through his father.

Social origins: His parents were captured by a small group of slavers who sold them to a clandestine mine, so he was born as a slave but freed himself.
Occupation: He was for a time a slave but ran away and became a rebel living on piracy.
Description: Merhab has blue skin, like the water elves that live in the archipelagos, near the ocean, and also has gills. He has long brown hair and blue eyes. He has been tattooed many times: a mermaid holding a mirror on his chest, a dahlia on his left ribs, a sword piercing a heart with the inscription "Love hurts" on his back, and anchors, compasses, seagulls etc. on his shoulders and arms. He has a prosthesis on his right leg. His whole body is covered with scars from his past as a slave, and one of them (a burn) is from black magic.

CHARACTER :
Alignment: Chaotic good
Character: Once a hotheaded, fearless, angry young man with something to prove. Nowadays he is wiser and more thoughtful, but he will probably remain a rebel all his life. Despite this, he is a very compassionate person. An idealist with a strong sense of justice, he looks for the best in the worst people or events and will not hesitate to break a rule if it contradicts his moral principles. When deciding how to move forward, he relies on honor, beauty, morality, and virtue. He is a loyal friend, who keeps his promises no matter what the cost. Merhab is always committed to what he does and is so stubborn that despite failures, he will try again and again until he succeeds, even if it means exhausting all his strength.

POWERS:
Merhab is a hydro-kineticist (he has the ability to control water) but he can also change one type of ore for another (an ability that was used a lot at the underground mine...)
Overall, he tries to remain discreet and hardly uses his powers since he used black magic that burned a third of his body to free the slaves.

BACKSTORY :
- He was born in a slave shack in an underground mine on a remote island.
- He is the son of a mountain elf (father) and a water elf (mother).
- He takes after his mother but is attached to both cultures.
 - His leg was cut off after his second escape attempt.
- With other slaves, he created a ring filled with dark magic and used it to free them all.
- When he was about to escape, one of his former masters cursed him and marked him with a handprint.
- He learned to sail with pirates and chose to dedicate his life to repairing and fighting all injustices. 
- He married another water elf, Whaitiri, and had a son with her, called Lono.
- His wife and son have been missing for many years, and he still travels the seas in the hope of finding them.
