Ercole, Jailed Royalty

Lore
Every ship holds a hierarchy for her passengers, and the Origin Arc was no exception. For example, one had to be born royalty if one were to become king. Then there were kings' relatives, responsible for upholding the law. After them, the peasants who were ruled. And at the bottom were the "scoundrels," those sentenced to live in the dungeons. Before he had committed that fateful crime, Ercole, too, had been a member of a privileged class. Now he belonged to the dark cells and would abandon those who did not recognize his rightful status.
