Arik
From The Fifth City Wiki
"I remember that he was the first I recruited to my scheme," Mariam says. "He was a scion of the Taimen, injured in a battle against my homeland. I saved his life. My father was not pleased."[1]
Captain of the Polythremi ships the army traveled on, Arik is a Khaganian captain and navigator who was the first person to join Mariam on her quest. He also may have been the recipient of the immortality that Mariam's father gave her to appease her.[2][1] Alongside Lorenzo, Arik played a vital role in logistics and repairs during the campaign.[3]
After the destruction of his companions' army and the scattering of the Seven, Arik hid in the moving city of Hideaway, where he is now preparing an even greater vessel to travel back up the river.[4][5]
