Role

Chapter 12

A bit about his personality.

Think Robin-Hood esque with a Pirate flare, a bit more rough-around-the-edges
than your typical Paladin.

Hes gregarious, outgoing, and generous, most of the time. Although hes
gentle giant around those who might be frightened by him, hes more than
capable of working himself up into a righteous fury that matches the power of
the strongest tempest. Having spent so much time at sea around
less-than-reputable people, hes developed a few bad habits, one of them
being rather free with his words when taunting his enemies. Its something
hes working on, because he knows he has to set an example for his crew,
and be fair of speech, but its hard to resist bellowing out some witty
warcry across to the enemy ship that they are about to board. It just seems
to add to the excitement nicely.
He learned from his father the importance of tempering your words and actions
to provide a good example, and he strives to perpetuate the tales of him and
his ship that work their way down the coast. He feels that its important
for the common people to have a hero, someone on the seas fighting for them,
making the waters safer for the fisherman to ply his trade in peace.
Hes patient with his crew, but very strict. Its his policy to not allow
any of them a share of what is taken from the pirate ships they destroy. He
has brokers in all the major ports who he trusts to give a fair price for
whatever stolen goods are recovered, and when they cant find the original
owners of the stolen goods, theyre donated to the local temples to be
distributed amongst the needy. The crew is paid a generous wage from the
coin generated by the selling of the loot that goes unclaimed. Not too
generous, however, as he wants to be sure that those who sail with him do so
because they want to contribute to the greater good, not because they want to
get rich.
