History[]

Waekbyrt in a cutscene.
Waekbyrt was first seen when the adventurer visited the Astalicia in search of information about a sea serpent. Waekbyrt laughed and said this was just a fairy tale, claiming that the only monster pirates knew was the sea itself.[1]
When the adventurer enlisted the Bloody Executioners, Waekbyrt expressed a desire for his captain, Hyllfyr Faezmoensyn, to become the Limsa Lominsa Admiral, which would allow Waekbyrt to become an official of Knight of the Barracuda. The only way to achieve this was to compete in a race called the Trident, a barracuda tradition. Waekbyrt directed the adventurer to Nunuba to test if he would have any utility in the Trident.[2] Eventually, Waekbyrt revealed that the Bloody Executioners were not accepting new recruits and told the adventurer that he could join any other crew.[3]
After the adventurer joined Rostnsthal's crew, under Hyllfyr's orders, Waekbyrt instructed the adventurer to visit his captain, who was in search of the Rostnsthal. After the adventurer resolved the situation between Rostnsthal and the Bloody Executioners, Waekbyrt mentioned that Hyllfyr had given the adventurer permission to continue in the Astalicia.[4]
