Personality: Long voyages alone have turned Koen into a quiet man, yet he is an extrovert, and seeks a trustworthy group. But he would much rather be with the Bellone then a large group.
Biography: Koen was born in Amsterdam, the son of a cargo ship crewman, at the age of 5 they moved to Brussels for his father to work in the company office. When he moved out Koen seeked the ocean that his father braved and so he got work with the ferry service, after saving enough money he bought the wreaked Bellone, fixed her up, and moved in.
He has lived in Bellone for the last 4 years and in those four years traveled to America and Asia, before returning to work. Bellone is as much a part of Koen as his family is.
Post-apocalypse Bio
Koen ran out of stocked food and water about a month in, with that he ventured ashore cautiously to find food, water, and hopefully a weapon. After 2 months Koen found that it was too dangerous to keep the Bellone moored so he sailed her out into the harbor and anchored her, taking her rowboat to shore and hiding it under a tarp. A month ago Koen had cleared the port and port authority buildings, in the PA buildings he had found an armory but found it mostly raided. Having cleared out the surrounding area, and seeing very little life in Antwerp, Koen drove to Brussels to hopefully find civilization, and supplies.
Other: The Bellone has supplies locked onboard. (Medical supplies, fuel, sailing supplies, think a ship ready for a month of sailing, also a large stash of whiskey)
