Xavier

Within Port Talp, the Foreman family is known for their expert blacksmithing, making a name for themselves several generations ago with their high quality, ornamental iron work. Xavier had repeatedly pushed his father to expand their business to include cannon production, seeing it as a potentially huge market in the port city. His father steadfastly refused, claiming "the slightest mistake in their production could cost too many people their lives." Frustrated by his father's continued resistance, Xavier simply quit his family business, with much resentment from his family, and started working as an apprentice to Gnesser Highcal, a local gnomish cannonsmith and retired Master Gunner on the Corsair ship Grey's Diamond Edge. Xavier studied under Gness for about a year, learning everything he could about the use and production of cannon and the other large ship-based siege weapons that they would occasionally be commissioned to build.

It was during one of his routine trips to the docks that he saw a wanted poster for crew for a Corsair ship. Inspired by the stories of adventure related to him by Gness and looking to put his newfound skills to the test, he made up his mind on the spot. The next day he joined the crew of the Vigilant Seas under the name Xavier Foreshot, which he deemed more apropos for his position.

A recent near-fatal cannon failure aboard the Vigilant Seas has left Xavier partially deaf in his left ear. The experience did, however, serve to renew his faith in Tfop; he can be heard whispering a prayer for good luck every time he lights a fuse.
