Madcap Pirates
Fidelphi Castro
Fidelphi Castro, known as Brother, is a drow tied to Hugo Drider’s Madcap Pirates history. In Act 5 Episode 6, he appeared in the New Goblin City Black Market, recognized Hugo, fled, and was chased and attacked by Hugo as a traitor.
Act 5 Episode 6: Fidelphi Castro ran from Hugo Drider in the New Goblin City Black Market. Hugo shouted that Fidelphi was Castro and a traitor, stabbed him, and Morgan Draxler later blinded him. The session ended with Fidelphi alive, prone, blinded, and denying he was a traitor in a crowded public market.
