Isandro Driftfathom
the Shellgrave Merman
Named for the submerged isle that drifts on the fathom-line, and the shell that grits against the stone.
Power
Shellwarden — you can raise a barrier of compacted sediment and shell fragments that turns aside even a great white's rush, but each use leaves you heavier, slower, more earth than flesh.

People say you are never caught in a current, that you move like a boulder crawling across the seafloor. They say you were forged from shell grit and the bones of ancient seabeds, and that your voice sounds like gravel shifting in a wave. You do not correct them. You carry a small, chipped piece of obsidian that you found wedged in a shipworm's tunnel, and you know exactly why it was buried.
