Rivier the Rogue

Rivier Verd (also known as Rivier the Rogue) is a man in his early twenties who has made his living hunting and killing targets for the navy, and pirates with the money to pay. He is an assassin who is skilled but little known due to being somewhat young and having a series of mediocre marks to his name. He is searching for a kill that will finally make him an elite assassin and give him the fame and fortune he believes he deserves.

Backstory
Rivier was born poor and taken in as a cabin boy on board a navy ship. The captain was a brilliant inventor, and had invented a system of pulleys and grapples that allowed the wielder to move in any direction at any time. However, this captain was mutinied against by his crew, leading to his death.

Rivier was also due to be killed but managed to escape by using the gear to grapple to another ship. This experience left him mentally scarred and lacking in morality, with little to no consideration for others. Until he met Jack during his service to the navy, who managed to at least convince him of the value of protecting what is close to you.

He and Jack were close during their time in the navy, and this period was the peak of Rivier’s career as he and Jack were both extremely skilled. However, upon Jack’s defection and turn to piracy, Rivier was left alone and felt betrayed by his partner leaving him in a system they both disliked.

Since then he vowed to become famous enough to break out of navy control and meet Jack on equal footing but was commanded to go to Puerto Dorado by his superiors, forcing them to meet and reconnect before his goal was achieved.

Appearance & Gear
Rivier is a tall man with short brown hair and blue eyes, he is strong, but not especially so, and usually wears simple clothes with his grapple harness over the top. He also has a scar over his left eye, and two smaller scars on either side of this eye, forming a crosshair pattern.

He primarily uses two twin pistols as weapons, both having retractable bayonets. These are stored in holsters attached to his harness. In addition, he was also given a knife that can teleport the wielder to wherever it is thrown by Rivier. His harness is made of wood and steel and allows him to move in any direction.

Personality
Rivier is brash and somewhat egotistical, but he is clearly a good person, despite his role as a killer. While he professes to care only about his goal of finding the ultimate kill, it is clear he is using it as an excuse to avoid continued service under the navy or ruthless pirates.

He is also incredibly close to Jack and cares for him deeply, being the only person he would actually be sad about killing. He is a very chaotic person overall and is willing to befriend anyone, despite their deeds or misdeeds.
