Legends of Belariath

Orlando

"Long ago, they say, I pirate ship set out from port, filled with plunder from reducing an Imperial trading post. The boat lay low in the water but such was the pirate's greed that they didn't make the proper offerings to the gods and godesses of the sea.

As it was, one of them, The Mistress of Storms, took umbrage at what the crew had done - or failed to do - and sank the ship with a powerful tempest, shrieking and wailing from the heart of the storm all the while. One man survived, changed by the curse of the goddess, become her creature but hollow, cold, black hearted as the stygian depths themselves and bound to her service.

Over time, he broke his bonds but not the curse and now he serves as a ship's captain, captain of The Nameless, a swift ship plying the waters with trades contraband and secretive but as he regains his power all he really dreams of is revenge against the goddess that cursed him, the power and means to do away with her and regain whatever it was that was taken."
