== History ==
''A simple journey'', thought the Captain, not knowing that his life had been cast away to a [[The_Gilded_Insect|scuttling deceiver]]. The waters became endless and the continents shifted every day. One morning, he would disembark on a new world - the next, he would be back on his vessel, no choice but to venture once more. Under the eyes of Hours unknown, it took The Captain decades to realize the supernatural nature of his toil. His unhinged dedication to breaking free lead to unparallelled unparalleled exploration and mastery of the unseen laws and unspoken stories of the universe, especially those of the Glory-Light. After a hundred lifetimes, there came a day when the Zephyr simply dove into the ocean, only to emerge from a pool in the Mansus.
The Pathmaker has been to places and seen things - places and things he shouldn’t have meddled with, but he’s never cared much about that. Since his ascension, the Captain had spent a short eternity gazing into the past, and is thus technically one of the oldest Hours. Going by time spent in the present, however, he is a new arrival.

* The Hour of Discovery. Having run out of places to visit - he now subtly intrudes the dreams of those with otherworldly fantasies, reveling in their newly-created mindscapes and wandering them himself to sate his endless hunger for knowledge and adventure. He enjoys telling tales of his travels, but only to fellow Mansus-dwellers, as he deems others unworthy.
* The Guide - when the divine ones and their servants travel far and wide, the Captain is one of the curators they may choose. Mortals may instead call upon his Names, who tend to appear as sailors or, rarely, pirates; these followers know the world and its secrets like the palms of their hands, though they lack the Pathmaker’s utter mastery of travel.
* The Seeker - He treads across all waters - that of time, space, and of reality itself - as such, he can reach just about anywhere. This freedom is not tolerated by all, and combined with the Captain’s deep hatred of secrets, it’s not hard to see why he got to be where he is now.
