Personality[]
Glory and treasure are a saying Bloeidin tells the adventurer, having a prideful personality in his life as a pirate yet giving up the life of piracy and trading his crew's jolly roger to work under admiral Merlwyb shows his respect for her. He Considers himself an old Buccaneer and looks after his crew's well-being while also pushing them to seek bounties that pay well. Knowing his crew well, he understands their nature as pirates and eagerness to fight and leads them in operations against the Kobolds. He has a love for explosions, and enjoys the pleasure of a job well done, often celebrating with grog. Although he cherishes his memories of being a pirate, he wishes those who currently pillage and plunder aimlessly searching for treasure would instead lend their skills to fighting the good fight, even though gold is the quickest way and often only way to a pirate's heart.

Following the alliance with the kobolds, he is shocked to see that they made peace and is glad to see Ga Bu cured.
