Captain Crow is captain of the pirate ship Crow's Song on Lumar at the beginning of Tress of the Emerald Sea.[1]. She becomes a servant of the dragon Xisisrefliel at the bottom of the Crimson Sea.
Attributes and Abilities
Crow is a severe figure with a black feathered hat.[1] She is one of the best shots known to Hoid.[2] Crow was a spore eater, which is a symbiosis granting extensive defensive abilities.[3] She commands her crew with intimidation and control. She is also able to best several people in an attempted mutiny without using these powers. She uses midnight essence to spy on the crew members. She must remain close to Xisisrefliel to keep the verdant spore in remission.[4]
History
Crow becomes captain of Crow's Song and convinces the crew to turn to piracy as an alternative to participating in the King's war against the Sorceress. In collusion with Laggart, she plans to cross the line from piracy (for tribute) to deadrunning (extirpation) which will make the entire crew into outlaws among outlaws. Though Tress foils this plan, Crow conserves her with the plan to exchange Tress' services for Crow being healed from spore eating.
She brought Tress down to the depths of the Crimson Sea in order to sell her to Xisisrefliel in return for being healed by her condition.[4] However, Tress managed to bargain with the dragon in order to turn Crow herself in, which he accepted. Due to this bargain, she was kept at the bottom of the sea and forced to serve Xisisrefliel for the rest of her life.[5]
