Jeremiah A. Deckhazzard

Backstory
Jeremiah A. Deckhazzard was born to a group of hunters in the far lands of Scandinavia in 1731. He was born to a very strict family with an old job that was handed to them by their leader. The job was to hunt down any large sea monster or creature that could harm the sailors near the ports. Jeremiah however, was born with a strange outlook on those creatures, seeing them not as monsters but as animals (which was strictly forbidden). As his interest grew, so did the punishments of his parents who tried all that they could to make sure he would stay on the path of the family heritage. If others found out how Jeremiah felt about sea creatures, punishment by banishment was likely.

His parents had begun to see him as only a curse to the family name, so at the age of 15, Jeremiah's mother sold him to a band of pirates. These pirates soon realized where Jeremiah's true interests were. He was a hard worker and surprisingly good with a sword and cannon, but after a few years at sea, they saw that his heart was elsewhere. He clearly did not have the strength or mind of a pirate. He was never able to develop a love for plundering or the instict to kill when in danger.

Having established a reputation of kindness and respect to his crewmates, the Captain took pity on him. The band of pirates reluctantly dropped him off at Port Royal, sad to say goodbye to their friend. They left him with a good sum of money as repayment for his honorable services. They even admitted to feeling awful about buying him from his mother, but had realized that she wanted nothing to do with him.

By the age of 18, Jeremiah had become a well-known figure in Port Royal. He was known for helping Elizabeth Swan herself, and for acting as a sort of messenger and giving papers to officers of the Navy and EITC. In his spare time, he studied wildlife and creatures to his heart’s content.

When he learned of Davy Jones and the rumors that Jones had a living Kraken, he sought him out. Jones was reluctant to do business with Jeremiah, thinking the child was clearly way over his head. And although Jones was more monster then man, he made a deal with Jeremiah. Not much is known about this deal, but Jeremiah was able to fulfil his end of the bargain within a year, just as Jones had asked.

In return, Davy Jones showed him the beast that was presumed a legend: the Kraken. From that time forward, Jeremiah decided to dedicate his life to studying and learning the behavior of Krakens to help preserve them, as they were quickly heading towards extinction.

Jeremiah now sails the seas, studying Kraken and learning more about their biology. But things have not always gone as planned sadly. The British Empire was hesitant to grant him citizenship as he seemed to be a rambling mad man. But thankfully he was accepted and now shares his findings with the heads of the empire. He hopes to one day change the government's view of Kraken. He wants them to see Kraken as animals and not sea monsters, and therefore treat them with more respect.

Studies of The Kraken
Jeremiah has devoted his life to studying these creatures. He studies how they act and has discovered different species around the world!

These pages are merely glances into his indepth studies. They speak about two species of Kraken.
