It is amazing what a few years can do to a man. In the beginning, he was a wimp in the eyes of his so-called parents, pushed around by his girlfriend and messed around both by the crew and the captain of the navy he was forced to join. This was a man who wouldn't survive a mere second in that cruel world even if his life depended on it...

...And then he met her.

For years Darquebane has instilled the same cruelty in him like those before had done but with a special purpose, to break him free. Give him a sense of bravery bordering on psychotic that even the mighty lioness can't break. She wants him to fear but not be afraid of her power and authority. When that old soul cracked, he earned his place among the crew of the Night Splinter. From then on he fought numerous foes and went on many raids and adventures eventually coming to face his own demons as a final testament of his personal transformation.

Now as an adult in a world forever changed as a result of the War of the Realms, Timothy is now the man far beyond is wildest dreams. The type women want, the type men want to become. But he is already taken by the very woman who made this lost soul into the most feared pirate on the seven seas... next to her of course.

P.S. This also will double for the September issue of the ongoing Year of the Hunks portfolio you can find on Weasyl and FA.
