Hendrik Story 📖
Captain Hendrik is strongly connected to the legend of the Sunken Nation. He has spent much of his life exploring the dark depths of the ocean aboard his giant submarine, The Neptune, while searching for the mythical lost ruins.
Hendrik sometimes returns to the surface to trade ocean treasures for supplies. He is well-mannered in some ways, but his unusual speech and behavior make others think he may have lost touch with normal life.
His long time spent deep underwater has changed him. In his youth, Hendrik was described as handsome, wealthy, and charismatic. Over time, the lack of sunlight left him looking old and worn down.
Hendrik became obsessed with the Sunken Nation after surviving a shipwreck. While sinking into the icy ocean, he saw what appeared to be an ancient underwater city before losing consciousness. When he woke up, he was in a coastal town.
Some people believed the vision was only a hallucination. Hendrik believed something else. He became convinced that he had been saved by an envoy of the Sunken Nation and that the lost city was calling to him through his dreams.
To continue his search, Hendrik returned to the area of the shipwreck. When he failed to find the city, he refused to give up. He spent his fortune building The Neptune, believing the ancient city had moved elsewhere beneath the sea.
The Neptune was powerful enough to travel across the seas, but few people wanted to join Hendrik’s mission. Because of this, he began attacking ships and forcing captured crews to serve aboard his submarine.
Survivors of these attacks often believed they had been attacked by sea monsters. Hendrik’s time listening to the voices in his dreams also gave him a strange ability to communicate with sea creatures around his submarine, making them useful helpers in dangerous moments.
Hendrik Shards and Star Requirements ⭐
Hendrik needs hero shards to increase his star level. Like other Legendary heroes, the shard requirement becomes much higher at later star levels.

| 1 Star | 1 | 1 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 10 |
| 2 Stars | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 15 | 40 |
| 3 Stars | 15 | 15 | 15 | 15 | 15 | 40 | 115 |
| 4 Stars | 40 | 40 | 40 | 40 | 40 | 100 | 300 |
| 5 Stars | 100 | 100 | 100 | 100 | 100 | 100 | 600 |
