Character: Captain Henry Barlow

Captain Barlow hails from a prestigious maritime family, his lineage tracing back generations of successful merchants and naval officers. Despite his privileged upbringing, Barlow always felt a profound emptiness in his life on land. Only when at sea did he feel truly alive, captivated by the ocean’s boundless beauty and mystery. As a young man, Barlow quickly rose through the ranks, becoming one of the most skilled and respected captains in the maritime world. His wealth and influence grew, but so did his insatiable desire to possess the sea’s treasures. However, his greatest desire was to capture and contain living wonders of the sea. His sanctuary became home to rare marine life, some thought to be extinct or purely mythical. When Barlow learns of Teague – a man with the ability to transform into a sea serpent – he becomes consumed with the idea of adding him to his collection. Teague represents the ultimate prize: a living bridge between the human world and the mysteries of the deep.
