Elok Jaharwon is the ruthless captain of the pirate ship Dragonfang, which operates out of Jahaka Anchorage alongside two other pirate vessels. He seized command through mutiny a year ago, throwing the previous captain overboard, and now seeks to consolidate power among all three pirate crews.
Characteristics & Motivations
Elok is a Chultan human wereboar with no patience or sense of humor. His ill-mannered, bullying approach has created tension with the other pirate captains at Jahaka Anchorage—Captain Zaroum Al-Saryak of the Emerald Eye and Captain Laskilar of the Stirge—who are still adjusting to their new confederate. Despite this friction, Elok is successfully building a following among rank-and-file pirates across all three crews.
His primary goal is to end the pirates’ profit-sharing arrangement with Liara Portyr at Fort Beluarian. The other captains recognize this strategy as self-defeating—it would eliminate valuable intelligence about naval patrols and merchant vessels while increasing risk and reducing overall profits—but Elok’s influence continues to grow.
Relationships
- Liara Portyr (Fort Beluarian): Part of the existing alliance that provides the pirates with intelligence and helps fence stolen goods, though Elok wants to break this arrangement
- Kalita: His first mate (LE female Chultan human spy)
- Eye of the Deep: The ship’s “sea witch” (N female Calishite human druid)
- Zilla Atazi: A former crew member whom Elok threw overboard for insubordination; she survived and was captured by yuan-ti, becoming a prisoner in Omu’s Fane of the Night Serpent
Crew & Resources
The Dragonfang operates as a sailing ship with fifteen Chultan bandits, three Chultan thugs, plus his first mate and sea witch. When at Jahaka Anchorage, one ship remains docked (commanding the base), another anchors outside the harbor as a defender, and the third prowls for targets at sea.
