"Shackleton was a ship's name. Now, it belongs to a slave."
Half of the original Shackleton sank far deep down into the ocean before the other half was consumed by fire. Silk floated in foaming bunches, fish catching themselves between the waterlogged folds that drifted on the dark water. The slave watched from the deck of the offending ship; the one that killed his Captain, set his sails to fire, and lost seven of her own men to the blood-covered man in a golden, glinting mask. He was silent as they rattled him for a name, attempting to break his gaze on the fire that danced at them in the pitch black night in the middle of the ocean.
"Shackleton," one called, laughing and spittiling tobacco onto the filthy deck. "Name tha' 's on the ship. 'es a drowned ship now, not worf a spit."

References, Daily and Arena Outfit
Shackleton is full-bred human, with no sub-species or god-like powers. He is simply a slave, bred in a cold region, who is well traveled, learned, and who is able to converse and think for himself. Due to his cold-air heritage, he does not age as quickly as some other humans seem to, when he is groomed (shaved, with cropped hair), he looks rather young. His fingers and toes are generally cold to the touch, but he acts as a human space heater while in bed.
In the arena, Shackleton wears a simple leather shoulder cap, a canvas loincloth, with his wrists and hands wrapped in linen. His weapons of choice are a steel spike tomahawk, with it's spiked edge even deadlier than it's flat-headed mate, and a rounded shield.

Mask Wardrobe
In his native country, slaves were made to create and wear decorated masks. The more elaborate, the higher the house, as each slave was taught by craftsmen through the small country. As Shackleton's first master, his король (korol; king), was a tradesman and merchant, Shackleton was able to incorporate the skills and knowledge he had seen all over the world into his mask making.
Shackleton's wardrobe is rather sophisticated and extensive for a slave, and it is a clear sign of the wealth of nobility that he served under. All of the masks below are considered to be hand crafted by him, for himself, save for the harem pen wardrobe. His wardrobe attests to the slave's talents as well as his worth as a slave.
Below are examples of the masks he might wear; of course, many more are available, and this gallery may rotate designs for the seasons. -

Creations
Below are some items that Shackleton is able to create; he is able to make weaponry, body chains, collars, and armor. Inquire for services; pricing will follow with inquiry.
Slaves were used as a means to portray wealth and power. The better a house was at raising, training, and guiding a rab, meant that they had the money and means to spend on their thralls. As Shackleton's house was the house of a silk and fur trader, he was able to master and create many fine crafts and goods. Many slaves on the island made and wore masks in order to hide the identity and make it so that there was no sexual tension between them and house members.- Mistress will receive full license to use or sell his goods, or rent his services out for extra coin
