The achievement requires you to "complete the game without ever choosing a past." But what does that mean? I just finished a game with the Zeppelin ending, without choosing a past, but didn't earn this achievement. Then I re-loaded and tried retiring to my mansion; that didn't work either. For reference, this is the third captain in my lineage; one went NORTH, and the other found his father's bones. This is the first captain I've played with that didn't have a past.

What endings allow you to earn A Past Wreathed in Shadows? (Do only Ambitions count?) Do I need to start from scratch with a new captain with no lineage?
