Backstory: Prince Caelan Delos is the second-born son of Queen Lady Diana Delos, ruler of the Summer Isles, and King Consort Leandros Delos, Grand Admiral of the Argon Fleet. Raised in a powerful matriarchal society where strength and command of the sea define leadership, Caelan grew up between court and coastline, never fully belonging to either.

• As the second son, he was spared the rigid expectations of succession, allowing him freedom that shaped him into something unpredictable
• Spent more time aboard ships than in court, learning trade routes, languages, diplomacy, and survival firsthand
• Earned a reputation among sailors as approachable and capable, often treated more like a crewman than royalty
• Shares a deep bond with his mother, who sees her own adventurous spirit reflected in him
• Maintains a quiet understanding with his father, who recognizes the same pull toward the sea
• His older brother, Crown Prince Adrien Delos, represents everything Caelan is not, disciplined, structured, and devoted to duty

Recently, Caelan survived a catastrophic shipwreck in the Sundering Sea, a place where storms distort reality and few return alive.

• His crew insists survival was impossible
• Caelan recalls a voice, or something, guiding him through the storm
• Since then, he experiences vivid dreams tied to the ocean and feels an unnatural pull toward it
• He has begun quietly investigating the Black Tide and the figure known as the Pirate King

He excels in diplomacy and governance, earning respect across regions for his measured leadership.
