Angus McCrae

Angus is rarely aboard ship, though he always seems to appear in whatever port El Tiburon has docked. Usually the same day or shortly thereafter. When asked how he got there, Angus does not rightly know and can only say that there was “rum involved”. His shipmates are wary of the times they get to port after Angus. For more than once, they have arrived in port to find Angus waiting for the ship at the quay… port town burning behind him and with Angus greeting his friends with a hearty “‘Bout time ye got here, ‘twas running out of things t’ do!” On occasion, he appears in town with Raevenna, and she ain’t tellin’ Angus how he got there either.

Conrad “The Cudgel” Demitrius

His native Poland broken, home burned and family scattered, Conrad decided to combine his military profession with sailing and a hobby of banging people about with a cudgel. After joining the Cossack Zaporozhian Siech, he proved himself to be a good man to have in a fight, extortion, plot, robbery, raid, kidnapping… you get the idea. He became a feared pirate on the Don River sacking the Turks. Wanting a higher price upon his head than the insultingly low one offered by the Sultan, Conrad left Russia with nothing more than his Hussar coat, sword, Cossack armor, dagger, a decorated Turkish musket and all the silver he could steal… er, carry. He then sought out the most feared pirates in the Caribbean. Not being able to find them, he instead joined the crew of El Tiburon. Drink with him, if ye dare!
Governor Giles Seamus Hagthorpe MacGuffin
Send a missive to Hagthorpe here.
Born the thirteenth child of an impoverished thistle farmer in the high lowlands (or possibly the low highlands) of Scotland, Giles Seamus Hagthorpe MacGuffin ran away to sea when he was a mere eight years old. He quickly mastered pillaging and plundering and was then sent to bed with out dinner. Many years have passed since then and he still thinks he can get away with much more than he really does. Hagthorpe has recently been appointed to the position of Governor with PDXYAR, though he hasn’t yet been give the coordinates of his appointed island. Regardless, he’s still looking forward to getting the wig.

Isabella “Bella” Rose Tortuosa
Isabella Rose Tortuosa was born as Isabella Rose LeHiver, the daughter of an infamous French courtesan whose father was uncertain. She was adopted at the age of 8 by a wealthy Spanish merchant, a patron-come-suitor of her mother. Her mother was well-known among the locals for her bedchamber exploits and thus, the marriage ended four years later in tragedy. Her jealous step father stabbed her mother countless times before shooting himself in the study, lest he find himself dancing at the end of hangman’s rope. After spending three years in an orphanage followed by three unlucky suitors of her own (one fatal sickness, one carriage accident and one in the madhouse) Bella found herself socially unaccepted as the illegitimate daughter of an unfavorable mother. Bella was looked at as a bringer of death and disaster and was thus shunned by most of the townsfolk. Her fortune changed one stormy afternoon when Captain Redgoat MacHaggis and company found their way into a brewpub where Bella was serving drinks and charming a group of boisterous fellows while casually lifting their coin. After much witty conversation and mead-laced flirtation, she was asked to join the crew. The Captain had very simple and specific personal guidelines. “If you ever try to sway me with one hand on my beard and the other in my pocket business, I’ll have my Quartermaster cut off your hands and throw you in the sea.”

Jimmy Long Guns
Jimmy once served as a dog watch guard on a merchant ship, when he was approached by Captain Redgoat one night in a pub. The good captain offered Jimmy six month’s pay in exchange for his services as guard aboard El Tiburon. Jimmy Long Guns signed the articles and has served as one of the most loyal members of the crew ever since.

Cockroach was given to Howell Davis as a cabin boy at an early age. There, he tutored in seamanship, scholarly matters, battle tactics and navigation by Davis’ navigator, Bartholomew Roberts. He served under Roberts until Cape Lopez, then struck out on his own. Returning to the Caribbean, Cockroach forged a reputation for courage, invincibility in battle, “a way with the ladies” and stealth. The Spanish dubbed him “La Cucaracha” (The Cockroach) since he seemingly could not be caught or killed, striking quick and then dashing away to hide. He is captive only to his love and wife, Mercy Marie Dillingham. Together, they sailed the Blair around the horn and took up the sweet trade on the northern Pacific Coast.
The Ronin
No one among the crew knows the true name of The Ronin, perhaps not even The Ronin himself. He first came to sail aboard El Tiburon when he awoke in the shio’s hold after an apparent three day sake and dice bender. He arrived having only the kimono on his back, no clan affiliation and a poorly-scrawled letter of service to Captain Redgoat tucked in his sleeve. The Ronin’s stoic manner and deadly precision with a blade have made him a strong ally and at times a formidable opponent to members of the crew.

Ursula, the Mute
Send a missive to Ursula here.
Ursula is usually found in the company of Pottie, the only crew member who seems to be able to communicate with her. She’s also known by the nickname “Panda”, which originated from the manner in which the crew first discovered Ursula. While searching a recently-captured ship for spoils, they came upon a crate labeled ‘Panda’. When they opened it, they found nothing but Ursula, a smattering of bones, and a panda pelt.
