On the Sea of Thieves, rumors fare. A fortune lies, buried there. While out on your voyages, a terrifying threat there is. The used to be ones of flesh and soul, Until a curse stripped them both whole. Now the roam the seas, plaguing the world like a disease. They are a force to be reckoned with, only defeated in tales of myth. Now the strive to join Smash, the Skeleton Lords join the thrash!

Like Hero, my vision of this character is to have it be 4 different characters, with 1 Alt for each. I will give a small background for each Skeleton Lord in this.
Graymarrow
A fearsome Skeleton Lord who has the abliltiy to curse pirates, has a massive sword, and can ressurect banished skeletons with just their skull and the Chalice of Ressurection. Little is known about Garymarrows life before he was cursed, though he did meet the crew of the Mourningstar in life. After he was cursed and turned to a skeleton lord, he perused the Shroudbreaker Pieces to reach the fabled Shores of Gold. Another crew, the crew of the Mourningstar, had a piece of the Shroudbreaker, so Graymarrow perused them day and night until eventually he caught them on Old Faithful Island. He killed them and cursed their souls to three chests so they can’t pass onto the Ferry of the Damned. He stole their Shroudbreaker piece, and went into a slumber under the sand. Later in time, the player goes on a journey to reach the Shores of Gold. During this journey, the player will free the souls of the cree of the Mourningstar, and fight Graymarrow. After he’s defeated, he is banished to the Sea of the Damned. Time passes and a man named Stitcher Jim awakens the Fort of the Damned, a fortress pulled from the Sea of the Damned, into the Sea of Thieves. When this fort is awoken, the final boss of it is the Ghost of Graymarrow.
“I’ll hack you down where you stand!”
Captain Briggsy
Briggsy was a legendary pirate who assembled the Shroudbreaker and sailed to the Shores of Gold. While she was there, she unwittingly cursed herself by picking up a piece of cursed gold. She became a skeleton lord. She was now under the control of the Skeleton Lord, the Gold Hoarder. The Gold Hoarder had he leave the Shores of Gold, and split the Shroudbeaker so no one could return to his island. After destroying the Shroudbreaker and hiding the pieces, she was set on finding a cure to her curse. During the players journey to the Shores of Gold, they must defeat Briggsy to recover the location of the Shroudbreaker pieces.
“Today you have the honor of dying to Captain Briggsy!”
The Gold Hoarder
Long, long ago there was a race of people known as the ancients. They had advanced technology, and made most courses found on the Sea of Thieves. They left a ton of cursed gold on an island known as Tribute Peak, otherwise known as the Shores of Gold. The ancients were all wiped by some unknown cause. Years later there was a man known as Rathbone. He was a member of the same crew the greatest pirate ever, Ramsey, AKA The Pirate Lord. The Pirate Lord noticed that most gold in the Sea of Thieves was cursed, so to save people, he locked it all away in chests made of a magical metal. He buried the chests all across the sea. Rathbone didn’t like this, so he stole the maps and key to the chest and formed the Gold Hoarders trading company. He the escaped to Tribute Peak just as it was getting swallowed by the Devils Shroud, a mist that destroys ships and kills pirates. He remained on Tribute Peak as his flesh went away and he became a Skeleton Lord.
“Flesh is weak... Gold is strong.”
King Flameheart
A decibel of the Gold Hoarder named Stitcher Jim was in grave danger, until he was saved by a women only known as the Masked Stranger saved him. He fell in love and switched his devotion to her leader, King Flameheart. King Flameheart was killed long ago and his soul was trapped in his skull. The Ashen Dragon was his funeral pyre that left his body in a tomb in the Devils Roar. Captain Pendragan was a Pirate who had a sword known as the Sword of Souls, a sword capable of breaking curses. His spirit was ironically cursed in a portrait of himself by Graymarrow after Pendragon went after him. Stitcher Jim had a cunning plan. He released Pendragon using Dark Relics, and tricked him and the player into releasing Flamehearts soul during the Sea Bound Soul Tall Tale. After this Flameheart began his preparations for his return. He started to summon ghost ships from the Sea of the Damned, he tuned Stitcher Jim into an Ashen Lord, and he made a spectral version of his ship, the Burning Blade. His story is still going on in the game, and as there games updates come out more about him will he revealed.
“But know this, Pirates. Know this, Merfolk. Know this Sea of Thieves... I have returned, and the fires of my vengeance will consume you all!”
