Shornear was a Terramort searat and a former prized member of Greypatch's crew. He was the first to inform Gabool the Wild of Greypatch's betrayal. Shornear claimed he was thrown overboard the Darkqueen when he refused to follow Greypatch and almost drowned. Shornear recounted Greypatch's low opinion of Gabool and his suspicions that the Warlord was mad and would lead all the searats to destruction.
