Description
Charismatic and handsome, he is popular with many that he meets. He dresses in fine clothing and equips himself with all the necessities of a Sky Pirate Captain, but he is not one, as it is claimed that he won't sign up as a crewmember and work his way up to the position of captain, as is the common way of Sky Pirates. Despite this, he seems to have a good understanding of skyships, and possesses many skills necessary to keep a Skyship running including basic maintenance of flight rocks, cooking, and a knowledge of the many mechanics of a skyship).
His surname derives from a Deepwoods creature of the same name which resembles a harmless log. Whenever an unsuspecting creature walks across it, the Daggerslash acts like a bear trap, trapping the creature within it. Given the events in Clash of the Sky Galleons, it is somewhat fitting that Thaw is given the surname of a creature that is seemingly innocent until the last moment and then it strikes.
