Zavac was a Magyaran pirate who once operated along the Dan River. He is most infamous for his theft of the Andomel of Skandia and leading to takeover of Limmat

History[]

Before the Books[]

At an unspecified point in time, Zavac, who originated from Magyara (a country infamous for its corsair history) took control of a black ship named Raven and crewed it with many of his countrymen. Zavac built an evil reputation for himself along the coast of the River Dan, though he occasionally took Raven into the Constant Sea along the Sonderlandic coast, and was a regular visitor of both Bayrath and the pirate haven of Raguza, though he was disliked by Korpaljo Mihaly for his slippery way of cheating fellow pirates.

The Outcasts[]

Zavac is responsible for sinking some Skandian trading ships, Spraydancer, Golden Sun, and Rainbow, and murdering the sailors on board. He then learned about Andomal from the skipper whom he captured (and then killed). He then goes to Hallasholm and later robs a precious Skandian artefact called The Andomal; The Herons were guarding it but fell asleep and were then disbanded by Erak due to the disgrace.

The Invaders[]

In the second book Zavac attacks the town of Limmat and kills many of the inhabitants there with his band of pirates. However, he is defeated and driven out by the Herons. He is nearly taken by the Herons and the crew of Wolfwind, but with the Raven he nearly sank Wolfwind with his hardened iron ram and escaped.

The Hunters[]

When they challenged each other in Raguza, Zavac came close to killing Hal with a long dagger, but stopped when Thorn put the grabbing hook Hal made him around Zavac's wrist and pulled it so tightly that bones broke in his wrist. Then, Thorn jammed the grabbing hook in a "V" shaped frame, pinning Zavac to Raven and Ingvar sunk it with a massive axe. He went down with his ship.

Description[]

He was a slender, rather tall Magyaran pirate in his forties, well built, though not on the same scale as a typical Skandians. Zavac's hair, black and long, hangs in ringlets down both sides of his face and his face itself was without the addition of a beard. Zavac, like many of his countrymen, was swarthy in complexion and possessed high cheekbones, a long, unbroken nose and dark eyes. The corsair captain possessed a superior air and a smile that offered no warmth. He is feared over the Stormwhite sea and was a regular visitor of Raguza.

Skills[]

He is proficient with the average sword, and he has a hook, and there is the possibility that he is a good archer, although that is not known. Although he is a captain, he is sadly deficient at steering, as seen in The Invaders, when he accidentally ran Raven aground when he was trying to run away from Limmat. For this reason, he usually gave the job of the helm to his first mate.
