He wields the broken sword that belonged to his father in its whole form. Ren was raised by a lighthouse keeper in the outskirts of his homeland, unaware of his destiny and heritage. Ren (voiced by George Newbern) – The prince of the once-grand kingdom of Octopon and the main protagonist of the series.The dreaded Constrictus lives in the bowels of this death vessel.

#BLACKWAKE SHIP TYPES SERIES#
The Series Bible written during the initial production of the show says that the Wraith was built with lumber from mystical trees on a remote island and that the lumber still retains the life-force of those trees, making the ship seem as if it is haunted or has a mind of its own. This mainsail can also be detached to become a large glider. It has a unique, dynamic mainsail that rotates to slow the ship or act as a parachute. The Wraith – A swift, beautiful ship, originally owned by the pirate Joat, that Ioz steals for Ren from the Janda-Town docks.Octopon seems to have been centuries ahead of the current technological state of Mer, although it is probable that civilization is continually in decline due to the Dark Water oozing from the planet's core. Octopon was once the greatest city on Mer, referred to as "the jewel in the crown of Mer" by Ioz in episode 14, though it lies in ruin until Ren collects the first seven treasures. Parts of Mer are continually in flux, like a river of spiked rocks that rises out of the ocean in the first episode and appears to defy physics (none of the characters are bewildered by the spectacle aside from its danger), but whether this is the Dark Water's doing or just the nature of the geologically hyperactive planet is unknown. The world has twenty seas, and most of the crew's stops are made at islands. Mer is a planet very different from Earth with a variety of its own creatures with varying degrees of intelligence, such as the monkey-bird and the leviathans. The evil pirate lord Bloth will stop at nothing to get the treasures for himself and provides many obstacles for Ren and his crew. His loyal crew of misfits that help in his journey are ecomancer Tula, a monkey-bird Niddler, and treasure-hungry pirate Ioz. Only Ren, a young prince, can stop it by finding the lost Thirteen Treasures of Rule. The alien world of Mer is being devoured by an evil substance known as Dark Water.
