6 skinsFor the sailors who came and fought their way to the top of the AHA, the Shellback bomb lance was the weapon of choice for harpooning enemies both in water and on land. Both intimate and deadly.
Like its namesake, this butchering blade stealthily impales its prey on its insatiable, beak-like spike. The addition of a Bomb Lance’s explosive charge, it is said, was added by Scrapbeak themselves, just after their gruesome transformation.
It was his birdwatching hobby that inspired the Plague Surgeon and his assistants to favor this weapon. To be impaled is one of many natural deaths, and a natural death is surely the most humane outcome.
Having once pierced the fatty flesh of the monsters of the sea, this harpoon-turned-Bomb Lance found its way to land in Louisiana, and into the hands of Keith Cowen, where it became an instrument of death and deceit.
The Skinned's quest for vengeance left more than death in his wake. His boat, Nola, was sunk to the bottom of the bayou, its screw carved into a blade for this Bomb Lance.
This Bomb Lance, carved from the wreckage of The Skinner’s old boat, once drove him further and further into bloodshed. But it was also a means to guide him out towards calmer seas, back to the man he once was.
