Born to a skilled shipmaker in Morocco, Idris was immersed in maritime crafts from a young age. Tragedy struck when his father was killed during a pirate raid, a loss that deeply affected young Idris and shaped his future. Thrust into the role of provider, he took to the streets, initially surviving as a thief to support his mother, brother, and two sisters. Despite the hardships, his father’s tales of the sea and its freedoms haunted him, leading him back to maritime life, not just as a ship repairman—a legacy from his father—but eventually as a ship captain.
Idris has a dual nature, both a respected merchant and a feared mercenary. He harbors a deep knowledge of the sea and ships, a passion inherited from his father, which he has turned into a formidable fleet. His interest in maintaining a strong fleet is both a tribute to his father’s legacy and a practical necessity for his ventures.
“The sea does not forgive, and neither do I. It’s vast, it’s deep, and it hides as much as it reveals.”
Balancing his life as both a merchant and a mercenary, Idris walks a fine line between legality and the darker undercurrents of maritime lawlessness. His personal losses have hardened him, yet he remains dedicated to protecting his family and honoring the memory of those he has lost. The death of his wife and the subsequent assault on his daughter have left deep scars, fueling his pursuits on the sea and his quest for justice or revenge.
