Maelstrom is a character first introduced in The New Crew, and then reappears in The Skeleton King. Maelstrom has an insane personality, known for murdering his enemies in brutal ways. Much of this character is unknown, because his persona was never elaborated on after he allegedly murdered Jo Krysstal.

Characteristics

Appearance

TNC
TNC

Maelstrom is a male Kobold with brown rock fur, a single green right eye and a scarred left eye with a mysterious red gem embedded in the socket. He wears a dark grey v-neck tank top, shorts, and a hat with a golden earring in his right ear. Over these, he wears a brown belt, a large red belt across his torso with an oval gold buckle, and a red flowing cape that covers most of his left side. Notably, he keeps his scarred eye covered with a black eyepatch.

Personality

Maelstrom is shown to be extremely hostile and manipulative, planning a mutiny with Jo Krysstal after only recently joining the crew of the Bocoe. He shows particular sensitivity about his missing eye, growing visibly hostile whenever it is referenced. He potentially murders Jo Krysstal after the Crew of the Bocoe gathers to sing a round of "Fuck the Kobolds", which he takes as a slight at his lack of an eye given the verse "Fuck the Kobolds, fuck them in the eye."

Relationships

Jo Krysstal

Maelstrom tries to recruit Jo to his mutiny on the grounds that being the only two Kobolds left on a ship where their kind is detested. However when Jo hesitates, his jocular nature turns to fury. Threatening him with death and revealing his enchanted eye. Later Jo partakes in a chorus of "Fuck the Kobolds", which enrages Maelstrom. When he sees that McCoy left them stranded in Laeyuleaugh, he realizes a mutiny is no longer possible. Enraged by this turn of events and Jo partaking in the offensive chanty, he gouges Jo's eye out and leaves him for dead.

History

Background

The Skeleton King

Whilst the Bopen's Crew are recruiting in a Tavern in the ruins of Dundinborough, Maelstrom enters the Tavern. He walks straight up to the crew, and Clott tries to mind read him, but is unable to. Maelstrom does not talk to, or notice, anyone specifically, but instead speaks to all of the crew through cryptic rhymes:

We meet again, yet still for the first time,
Tomorrow I join a New Crew, then next day a terrible crime.

You had your chance to follow my path,
but you chose The Law, instead of blood bath.

You create those like me when you over extend,
Sins burned into flesh that cause us to ascend.
We feel you when you watch, 'Brutality' is your name,
To you, the gods above, this is simply all a game.

And so enjoy your story, the one you picked over me,
She will turn on you soon friend, just wait and you see
We are the Order of Chaos, born from your Sins,
Our Vision, your gift, our Body, your Skins.

The Crew was confused about what Maelstrom was saying, thinking he was a homeless man or just a riddle giver. Tobias Cragg eventually slaps him with his glove, and Maelstrom disintegrates into sand, being revealed as a Sandbold illusion. None of the Crew cares about this revelation and forgets his cryptic message.

The New Crew

Maelstrom enters a Tavern in Koelowelldwarm. Introducing himself as a Kobold wanting to gain experience on the seas for little Treasure, he immediately gets McCoy's favor. He kills a Kobold and a Gnome to prove himself worthy, and after eating a coin with a frog-like tongue, McCoy brings him on board. While on the Bocoe, he displays notions of wanting to start a mutiny aboard the ship to Jo Krysstal, and threatens Jo that he will kill him if he messes with him. He also reveals to Jo that, underneath his eyepatch, his missing eye has been replaced with a red gem that has a glowing aura of darkness. This intimidates Jo, who promises not to mess with him. Later, Maelstrom plays a Board game, URealms, with many of the new crew members of the ship, manipulating Cain and Young Ladyir as they play. Ultimately, his character is eaten by a Dragon, and in a fit of anger, declares the game is stupid and leaves.

Before the crew launches their raid on Laeyuleaugh, Jo, rallying the troops, sings the "Fuck the Kobold" song, which many of the crew men sing. Maelstrom, however, looks disgruntled from the song. On the island, Maelstrom helps with the initial siege, ruthlessly killing many Elves and Gnomes who stand in his and his 'allies' way. Afterwards, as the crew splits up between robbing houses and plundering the Sunsword Manner, Maelstrom, alone with Jo in an Elven house, brutally strangles, mutilates, and presumably kills him, because of the song.

Fate

The fate of Maelstrom is currently unknown, for his fate was left at a cliffhanger after he seemingly killed Jo, and both are abandoned by McCoy and the rest of the Crew.

Trivia

  • Maelstrom was actually an original character from Rob's old cartoon show, Unforgotten Realms. In the show, Maelstrom is half Kobold, half Ogre, but that is not yet a confirmed characteristic of Maelstrom in Unforgotten Realms Live.
    • Maelstrom also spoke in a rhyme, in the cartoon most of the time. This trait was not carried over in The New Crew, but it was present in The Skeleton King.
  • Maelstrom mentioned that he had a powerful brother who is locked in the Silvermine Mountains. The most likely candidate is Chimera.
    • There is also a theory that Maelstrom is the older brother of Unter and Gunter, due to both Unter and Maesltrom using the term 'Murder Bros'.
    • Alternatively, the brother could also be Philhipé, as he fits the "goofball" description that Maelstrom provides.
  • Maelstrom was brought on via a donation event in his first appearance in The New Crew.
