Former Rhodes Island frontline combatant Thorns, now a captain aboard an independent exploration-ship/scientific-vessel/finning-boat/cargo-hauler/pirate-ship. As the captain of the Cuna de Nene, he maintains a cooperative partnership with Rhodes Island. We provide medical and supply services, while he in turn offers us many ocean-related conveniences, as well as the means to contact remote Iberian settlements outside the jurisdiction of the Inquisition.

• Appointed as AssistantDoctor, since you've decided to join our voyage, you'll need to contribute. Think you can handle steering the ship? Here's the wheel: turn right to go right, turn left to go left. Clear? Very good. Let's set sail. Joking? No, I'm dead serious.
• Talk 1Here's your hammock, Doctor. The seas have been gentle these past two days, rocking like a cradle. But when the wind rises and waves swell, sleep won't come so easily. So I've brought you this bucket, use it if seasickness strikes. Just be sure to aim well; our cleaning crew won't take kindly to a messy deck.
• Talk 2Doctor, I'll be occupied with my alchemical research. Can you helm the ship in my absence? No, not a word to the crew. My last experiment, while successful in improving engine efficiency, left our hull compromised. The crew wasn't pleased. At the celebration banquet that followed... They voted to hang me from the mast the entire night.
• Talk 3These silvery liquid orbs, 'Corazonix', now form my right arm. They convey to me the movement of all things: the wind, the waves, fin-schools... and even the subtle currents of blood within the human body. That sensation... is as if I am merging with the very pulse of all existence.
• Talk after Promotion 1People forge connections by accepting fragments of others into themselves. That's what my maestro once said. He came from the Church of the Deep, so I initially misinterpreted his words. But in truth, his meaning was profound: we enter life as hollow vessels; we are incomplete until shaped by communication and shared understanding.
• Talk after Promotion 2In the past, I could only answer your questions about Iberia through second-hand stories. The glory of its past and the desolation of its present have never stirred any sense of belonging in me—Rather, its future is what I yearn to shape. With this ship as my lodestar, I shall forge my own narrative for Iberia.
• Talk after Trust Increase 1We're about to run out of provisions, so I'm taking the dinghy out to go fincatching. Care to join me, Doctor? Use a fishing rod? No, too inefficient. It's better to dive straight into the ocean, and hurl fins aboard with Destreza. Not a swing wasted.
• Talk after Trust Increase 2The ship's now entering the eye of the storm! Hard to port! Steady, sailors! Don't panic, Doctor. I hold these raging tides in the palm of my hand. I promise you won't be swept overboard. Oh, sorry. Didn't expect you to get all soaked…
• Talk after Trust Increase 3Oh, Doctor. How did you find this sanctuary? Me...? When the crew gets too rowdy, I retreat here for some peace and quiet. Isn't it strange? Out here, where the only sound is the wind and the waves, I somehow hear the echoes of voices from Rhodes Island.
