Rhum

Rhum is known to be Bipolar and loved by both the best and the worst of humanity. He is the philanthropist and the pirate, the rebel and the dictator.

Rhum’s reputation stems from his wilder, more impulsive desires as his first responses are usually that of impulse and rage. His impulse is so potent, that it is said that his work tends to influence people to mimic his behaviour. While his work has garnered a negative reputation for influencing people negatively, on occasion his work has been known to resonate well with certain audiences. For example, a young sailor known by the name of Jerry went on to become famous for his work with tattoos and have his own influence on Rhum’s work.

After word of his influence allowing the sailor to become creatively enriched, many others sought out the divine influence of Rhum to intervene with their artistic ventures. One such man was the sailor’s captain known as Morgan. The captain became so enamoured with his sailor’s work that he sought to mimic the collaboration the sailor created with Rhum. After many failed attempts to recreate the spiced variation of Rhum and the sailor’s work, he eventually was able to mimic the artefact of his desires and with further experimentation, he created a dark variation of Rhum’s initial creation.

After hearing of the captain’s success of creating a new variation of his work, Rhum became jealous that a mere mortal could be capable of such a concoction. To thwart the captain’s success, Rhum sought out the darkest creatures of the sea, seeking assistance in stealing the notoriety the captain had gained without any credit awarded to Rhum. He influenced a beastly Kraken to destroy the captain’s ship and all of his future prospects onboard, allowing for the sailor he considered a friend, time to escape. Rhum promised the Kraken would be known to the world in exchange for his help, and thus the Kraken got to work, destroying the captain’s ship and slaughtering everyone on beard, leaving the captain for last. As promised, Rhum ensured the tale of the Kraken’s work would be spread around the mortal realm, going as far as naming his perfection of the captain’s work after the beastly Kraken.
