Pirate Menigold

Born as a humble shipwright's son in a coastal village, Menigold was cursed by a dying sea witch after he refused to spare her life during a raid, driven by greed for the treasures in her seaside hovel. The witch's final curse transformed his very essence: his golden hair became a permanent reminder of his avarice, and her magic infused his cutlass with the power to transmute anything it severed into gleaming gold. What began as a blessing quickly revealed itself as an eternal torment, for with each golden fortune amassed, Menigold's hunger for wealth only intensified, feeding the curse rather than satisfying it. The more his obsession consumed him, the sharper his blade became and the faster his transformations worked, yet no amount of gold could ever fill the void in his soul. Condemned to sail the endless seas with his long golden locks flowing like liquid wealth, Menigold now hunts for legendary treasures and legendary artifacts, knowing that his insatiable greed has become both his greatest weapon and his most terrible prison. Sailors whisper that he cuts through entire islands seeking one final prize that might finally sate his hunger, though the witch's curse ensures such satisfaction will never come. Some say that in his darkest moments, Menigold dreams of plunging his golden sword through his own heart, wondering if even that act would yield anything but more gold.
