𝓑orn to a poor family of anglers, carouse had the normal childhood. as he grew, however, in a bid to become 'cool', he began to drink and smoke. he stole and pawned valuables, hiding the cash. his family punished carouse, and he grew bitter. in a drunken fit one night, he grabbed his stashed money and stole one of his family's boats, sailing away.

with no supplies, carouse barely managed to make it to soljira. with a new life on the island, he frequented the bar and found himself in a 'fling' with a dancer. one night, after a fight, he refused to walk her home, and the next day she was found dead. the killer was never found.

following her death, carouse became an alcoholic. convinced it was his fault, he spent his life at the bar she danced at, drowning his sorrows in booze. choosing to leave soljira, he now sails the sea, trying to run from his grief, hiding it from everyone.
