Her family were slaughtered for a set of six magnificent pink pearls that they owned which Ublaz Mad Eyes, master of the island of Sampetra, wanted to have to grace a beautiful jeweled crown that he had made for himself. Unfortunately for Ublaz, two of the pirate crew members stole the pearls and escaped into Mossflower. Undaunted Ublaz sends a crew of his pirates after the two thieves to retrieve the pearls.
