He isn't particularly skilled at cooking, but is the best out of the ship's crew.{{book ref|tress|37}}
He loves to negotiate and tells Tress that haggling is how he hunts to honor his upbringing.▼
== 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.{{book ref|tress|14}}
His fingers on both hands are gnarled, but it isn't known if it is from a congenital disease or tragic accident.{{book ref|tress|14}} 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.{{book ref|tress|14}}{{book ref|tress|15}}
He appears to easily buy into legends, believing in the legends of bone spores, despite never seeing them himself.{{book ref|tress|23}}

== History ==
<!-- Still working on this, need to reread to expand more fully, especially towards the end.-->
He was born on the [[Islands of Lobu]] in the [[Sapphire Sea]],{{book ref|tress|15}} 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.{{book ref|tress|40}} 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.{{book ref|tress|40}}
Over his time travelling the seas of Lumar, he managed to cross ten, all but the [[Crimson Sea|Crimson]] and [[Midnight Sea]], due to them being too dangerous to risk crossing.{{book ref|tress|23}}
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.{{book ref|tress|49}}{{book ref|tress|50}}
Tress traded Crow for three gifts from [[Xisisrefliel]], one of the gifts was a replacement board for Fort.{{book ref|tress|52}}{{book ref|tress|53}} 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.
