Fort is a cook and trader on the Crow's Song on Lumar.[1] He is deaf, and communicates using a piece of Nalthian technology he obtained by trading with an unknown worldhopper.[1]

He isn't particularly skilled at cooking, but is the best out of the ship's crew.[2]

Personality and Appearance

Fort is a very large man, not in the sense of being overweight, but simply being built "on a different scale than the rest of humanity", enough so he could easily hold a ceramic cannonball in one hand.[3]

His fingers on both hands are gnarled, but it isn't known if it is from a congenital disease or tragic accident.[3] Despite this significantly effecting his dexterity, with his fingers not being as mobile and his hands trembling as he attempts to pick up or move objects, he manages to get by and is rather capable, even if he has to do things differently than other people.[3][1]

He appears to easily buy into legends, believing in the legends of bone spores, despite never seeing them himself.[4]

He loves to negotiate and tells Tress that haggling is how he hunts to honor his upbringing.[1][5]

History

He was born on the Islands of Lobu in the Sapphire Sea,[1] into a family who took the cultural idea of the Hunt very seriously, and when he came of age, he decided to choose trading as his hunt.[5] Thus, he began looking for trades with those he comes across, and records them to send back to his family to be hung in their family hall.[5]

Over his time travelling the seas of Lumar, he managed to cross ten, all but the Crimson and Midnight Sea, due to them being too dangerous to risk crossing.[4]

At some point, he became a member of the Crow's Song.

Learning of their planned mutiny via the Midnight Essence, Crow called them to deck and attacked them, intentionally breaking his board in the process.[6][7]

Tress traded Crow for three gifts from Xisisrefliel, one of the gifts was a replacement board for Fort.[8][9] A gift for which he was deeply grateful.

He sailed with the crew into the Crimson and Midnight seas, and helped to save Tress from the Sorceress and free Hoid from his curse.

Trivia

  • Following his assistance in getting the crew of the Crow's Song through the Crimson and Midnight Sea Fort has managed to travel all twelve of Lumar's oceans.[4]
