George Bass
(George Bass holds written information about the merfolk after communicating with them)
Hoping to strike it rich as a private trader, Bass returned to Australia in the early 1800s on a merchant ship called the Venus. When his cargo failed to fetch a respectable price, Bass hatched an audacious plan to travel to South America—then a Spanish territory—on a rogue trading mission. He set sail in February 1803 but soon disappeared with his crew in the Pacific Ocean, never to be seen again.
George Bass was not hoping to become rich. Instead, he wen to sea to pursue something more. Something like mermaids. Called to become apart of the merfolk himself, he disappeared forever from land. We are certain of his intense interest in the merfolk due to his extensive research on merfolk. He enjoyed this research so much that in this portrait of himself, he can be seen holding a scroll that contains his life’s research on merfolk.
Jean-Francois de Galaup Lapérouse
In 1826 an Irish sea captain named Peter Dillon learned from natives that a pair of ships had once sunk near the island of Vanikoro. [At] the site, Dillon recovered anchors and other wreckage. In a bizarre twist, the locals also claimed that some of the men—including the group’s “chief”—had survived on Vanikoro for some time before building a ramshackle boat and heading out to sea. If this mysterious “chief” was indeed Lapérouse, it would mean the doomed navigator survived for several years longer than was originally believed.
Lapérouse’s ability to survive the sinking of the ship due to the fact that he found the ability to breath underwater.
Percy Fawcett
(There seems to be a mermaid whispering to him)
In 1925 Fawcett, his son oldest son Jack and a young man named Raleigh Rimmell set off in search of the fabled lost city. But following a final letter in which Fawcett announced he was venturing into unmapped territory, the group vanished without a trace. Their fate remains a mystery … In the years after Fawcett vanished, thousands of would-be adventurers mounted rescue missions, and as many as 100 people eventually died while searching for some sign of him in the darkness of the Amazon.
Fawcett, his son, and Rimmell were probably among the people who have joined our aquatic ancestors. Many of the other 100 people have probably become one with the merfolk themselves after venturing into the Amazon and understanding their ability to become merfolk.
