She could hear Powell in his quarters, acting out his own nightly routine of drinking and cursing and muttering stories to the bowed walls of the rotting ship. Stories of lands he'd never visited. Maidens he'd never wooded. Treasures he'd never plundered. He was a liar and a drunkard and a fool

A Darker Shade of Magic

Powell is the owner of the Sea King, a rotting ship in Grey London.

Biography[]

History[]

At some point, Powell allowed Lila Bard to stay in a spare room on his ship in exchange for part of the money she steals every day.[1]

Collection and Death[]

In October 1819, a drunk Powell enters Lila's cabin to collect today's rent. As payment, Lila gives him a handful of coins but, dissatisfied by the amount, Powell attempts to violate her to make up for the sum. Before he can do anything, Lila attacks and kills him by driving a dagger into his stomach. Lila then pours the whiskey he brought to her room over his corpse and sets him and the Sea King on fire before she leaves.[1]
