Heartless was once a military man who hails from Marktinla. He manned an army who was part of many brigades against The Sylvan Glade. Over time, Heartless grew tired of the same thing over and over again. He decided to make a change. He along with some of his soldiers took a stand against the monarchy and their consistent barrage against the glade. This resulted in him being banished from the country. Here is where he proceeded to set sail and started his life as a pirate. 

Even though he lives the life of a pirate he still maintains connections to the various noble houses he has met over his years as a soldier. He often finds himself helping those individuals in exchange for protection and money.

History

Once a captain of an army Heartless sets sail with his crew. He treats his crew like his own family and yearns to keep them well protected. He has made deals and arrangements with various royals and nobles. More notable Anya Fortis and Ramil Sahra

Through Anya he has agreed to help retrieve those from The Sylvan Glade who have been taken by force. He attempts to return those captured back to their land or to at least take them to a place of safety at their request. 

He works with Ramil to act as a transport of rare goods she doesn't want to go through her normal trade routes. These goods range anywhere from spices to gems. Ramil allows heartless to take cuts of the goods as part of her payment to him. 

As part of his usual business, Heartless received word of a vessel with various captives aboard it. He and his crew sought after the vessel and retrieved many individuals. One of those individuals being the mute Ryver. Ryver was one of the few individuals who remained with the crew and became one with the team. 

As a part of the initiation, or right of passage, Ryver was to embark on a treasure hunt on his own as per Heartless' request. The treasure map was given to Heartless by Ramil as a thank you for his work. She claimed that she received the map from an unknown source and deemed it was more appropriate in his hands. Little to their knowledge the treasure map was a trap to get Ryver back.

The Hourglass Pirates and their Captain Widow were the ones behind the initial capture of Ryver and the others. They attempted to get him back but failed. In doing so, The Aces took out her and her crew without Heartless.

Meanwhile Heartless was visited by two individuals who had been working with Widow. These individuals were Comedina and Tragedonna. Heartless showed no fear but knew the danger that they were in. There had been rumors of strong individuals running a slave trade, but he didn't want to test how strong these individuals were. 

Before embarking on their journey and following the treasure map Ramil had given him, he spoke with an individual. This individual had a request from Diana Voxville. She required a vessel to embark on a expedition with a team she would bring. He agreed to complete the expedition so long as they all followed his ship rules disregarding royal status. 

The Story

After the events that had taken place, Heartless kept a close eye on Ryver. He kept him under his wing to protect the young man as they made their way to Myzopodis. Here is where he and his crew were summoned by Princess Diana Voxville. Their job is to taxi them to Kawit for her expedition. Upon her arrival, the two of them worked out an arrangement. He informed Diana that he was to be paid in not only gold but hard work and dedication. She and the rest of her team were to work on the vessel as if they were one of the crew members. She complied to the deal and soon the information would be shared amongst both crews. 

After casting off and being out on the ocean for a while, Heartless had to maintain control of the ship while sirens had started an attack. He was able to keep control for the most part thanks to his trusted Natsuru. However, since the siren attack Rybver had been behaving stranger than usual. Refusing to speak with the Captain, Heartless began to grow concerned about his behavior. Before he knew it, Ryver along with others had gained control over the ship causing a mutiny. He and a few others were separated and brought somewhere to the Badlands.
