Mazon Urzica (pronounced MAY-zon UR-zih-kuh) is the captain of the Pelesetian ship Exhortations to Philosophy. Little is known about Urzica's life prior to joining the Union, as he withholds such information even from his crew. At some point he was a follower of the hero-god Hephaistos, dedicated enough to have replaced his arms with golem-grafts that still bear inscribed exhortations to the living god.
