Comte Robert de Méchant

Captain of the Black Freighter

Comte Robert de Mechant was a brutal pirate captain a few decades ago.  He and Philip Gosse had a long and bitter hatred that flared to almost unimaginable proportions when de Méchant, almost two decades ago, kidnapped, tortured, and murdered Gosse's wife.  In return, Gosse tied de Méchant to his ship, the Daydream, and burned it to the waterline. 

Yet the Black Freighter and her Legion-damned captain have now returned to hunt Gosse down as soon as he left Utopia.  He has gained control of an ancient Vesten relic, the Spear of the West Wind, which grants him power over the weather, control of the dead, and the ability to sea all over the ocean.  He sent both storms and ranks of undead to harass Philip Gosse and the heroes who were helping him, and ambushed the Unchartered Course in a devastating attack. He abducted Melinda Gosse, Philip Gosse's daughter and when Gosse and the heroes came to rescue her, blinded her.
