Captain on the ships Incorrigible and Dauntless. Rescues the Moondancer from Neogi slavers and escorts them to the Rock of Bral.

Born into the rigidly structured society of the Githyanki, Daar'vik was raised to be a loyal servant of Vlakith, the lich-queen of the Githyanki. From a young age, he was trained in the arts of war and magic, honing his skills to become a formidable warrior. His early years were marked by unwavering devotion to his queen and his people, dreaming only of glory in battle and the expansion of the Githyanki empire.

However, Daar'vik's faith in his queen and his people began to waver as he rose through the ranks. He witnessed the ruthless and often cruel tactics employed by Vlakith to maintain control over her subjects. The more he saw, the more disillusioned he became, realizing that the glory he sought was tainted by the oppression of his own people and the suffering of others.

The turning point came during a fateful encounter with Neogi raiders. The Neogi, known for their slaving and pirating, launched a surprise attack on Daar'vik's ship while on a mission for Vlakith. The battle was brutal and swift. Despite his best efforts, Daar'vik could not save his crew or his ship. He was captured and enslaved by the Neogi, enduring years of torment and humiliation.

In captivity, Daar'vik's disillusionment turned into a burning hatred for Vlakith and the society that had forsaken him. He eventually escaped, fueled by a desire for revenge and a newfound purpose. He knew that direct confrontation with Vlakith or the Githyanki would be suicide. Instead, he chose the life of a buccaneer, vowing to undermine Vlakith's reign and free his people from her grasp.

As captain of the "Incorrigible," a Spelljammer space galleon he commandeered during his escape, Daar'vik now roams the Astral Plane and beyond. He raids Githyanki outposts, liberates captives, and gathers allies for his cause. His experiences have left him hardened and serious, a master tactician who trusts few but is fiercely loyal to those he deems worthy.

Daar'vik's journey is one of a fallen hero seeking redemption, not just for himself but for all Githyanki who suffer under Vlakith's rule. His story is a testament to the resilience of the spirit and the unyielding desire for freedom.
