History[edit]
The Captain of the Oot's Dream was a smuggler who had forged mercantile writs from the Verdant King in order to buy and sell goods without paying tariffs.[5] When he picked up a shipment of Brick's ale from Diggen's Point, Tress disguised herself as a royal inspector and demanded passage on the Oot's Dream to report to the king.[3] Thinking that Tress was trying to expose their smuggling operation, the Captain ordered for her to be poisoned and locked in the ship's brig.[4] When the Crow's Song attacked the Oot's Dream, the Captain allowed Dorp to use Tress to try to stop the attack.[6] The Crow's Song did not stop and the Captain of the Oot's Dream was killed along with his crew.[1][2]
