Past

Growing up in his Vastayan tribe, Eryn very rarely ventured out of his village as he had been taught to fear the outside. And while he was content with his life managing the fields he was eventually tempted outside the village walls by a childhood friend, Masami. The young Vastayans ventured down to a wide river and Eryn witnessed what wonders lay beyond his home.

Eryn became an ambassador for his village, establishing communication with several surrounding tribes and even a few human settlements. His days became filled with travel as Masami began learning the ways of communicating with the land to help guide his travels.

The two learned their days together were numbered when the skies over Ionia grew dark with the smoke of Noxian warships. Boram Darkwill had set his sights on the Ionian continent and the first invasion had begun. Eryn was desperate to protect this beautiful land he was still learning about while Masami wanted to assist the war effort by establishing supply lines for the front and evacuation of Ionian's who couldn't fight.

While both of them knew what they had to do, they both knew neither of them could assist the other. With a heavy heart, the two parted ways.

Eryn engaged in gorilla warfare, noting how Noxians slaughtered Ionians who fought them head on Eryn took to the seas, using wildlife and the land itself to board Noxian vessels en route and sabotaging their engines or cargo. But he alone wasn't strong enough to stop the invasion full stop. Eventually he found himself southbound, traveling as far as Tevasa, wherein he met a captain from Bildgewater.

Captain Jerun was eager to hear of the vulnerabilities of Noxian vessels weary from such lengthy sea travel. The two teamed up, assembling a crew of misfits from all over the known world they began to make a more concerted effort, able to tackle the Noxian navy head on and selling the spoils to the highest bidders, being the Ionian people or the entrepreneurs of Piltover or the starving underbelly of Zaun.

On one particularly dangerous mission, the crew found themselves  aboard a Noxian frigate with a battle they wouldn't win. As a last resort, Eryn forced the crew to abandon the vessel to swim back to their ship. Before he himself detonated a large amount of explosives, sinking the ship and costing him his hand.

In the aftermath of the incident, Jerun told him he couldn't sail without his hand. And Eryn was left in Weh'le with a promise that Jerun would return with a workaround for his problem. Distraught by this, Eryn found the best steelweaver money could buy and demanded a shield that would protect his body from further losses.

In the weeks that followed Eryn kept himself busy with training to fight more defensively and protecting caravans from Noxian combatants and desperate Ionians who turned to crime. Eventually he found himself in the employment of a caravan guided by Masami. The Vastayan woman was angry to hear he didn't seek her out when he lost his hand and scolded him for his stupidity in engaging in piracy in the first place.

After he finished the mission he returned to Weh'le without properly saying goodbye to Masami, not wanting to bear any more scolding or guilt for his negligence. He waited another week there drinking himself into a stupor during the days and training by night before Jerun finally returned. His captain helped install a new Hextech hand onto him and brought his back aboard as his first mate to continue their mission. As well as a handcrafted experimental pistol forged by a member of the crew.

The new ship the captain rode in on, The Riptide, was equipped with a hextech engine and a light energy shield. The crew set sail, taking a mix of their previous jobs and running some transportation for travelers looking to cross regions wherever they went. All was well and good until the ship was caught out at sea during a particularly nasty Harrowing, wherein Eryn awoke aboard a strangers ship, with no sign of his crew in sight.
