Orako Echelon is an eccentric Gambler, Confidence man, and Airship Captain "Sky Pirate". He has PTSD, is an alcoholic, a smoker and a roustabout. He is often friendly, but makes obvious his self serving agenda. he has a sharp wit but makes terrible decisions and causes havok for himself and those around him.
Many don't realize that he is a skilled fighter and excellelent shot. He was captured by Garleans during the Battle of Carteneau, but has very little memory of the incident or his time spent in Garlemald custody as a research subject. He knows the event changed him physically and is constantly looking for aid among Alchemists, Thaumaturges, and Conjurers.
