The ruthless leader of the Undertow, Captain Ironskul is one of the highest-ranking members of the Seafarers League. While other Seafarer captains at least pretend to uphold a measure of civility and decorum, the Undertow's captain has no time for such pointless displays. His brutal methods have long been questioned by others in the League, but rarely to Captain Ironskul's face. None wish to make an enemy of the Undertow or the powerful benefactors who routinely use Captain Ironskul and his crew to carry out deeds they themselves do not wish to be directly connected to. It is one of these missions which sends the Undertow to New Mythoss and puts them in the path of the Ocean's Lure.
