Warcaptains of the Pirate Isles

Bonny Billy Blood Captain of the Lucinde Mae, Warcaptain of the Red Wake Name Name Original article: Bonny Billy Blood Bonny Billy Blood is the closest thing Tamerynd Isle has to a pirate monarch — not by bloodline or crown, but by charisma, cunning, and sheer bloody audacity. With his silver tongue, theatrical duels, and flair for public executions, Billy commands respect from friend and foe alike. He is legendary in port taverns, dreaded at sea, and loathed by those who cannot charm or kill as well as he can. His ship, the Lucinde Mae, is as infamous as its captain — sleek, fast, and notorious for flying no flag until after its victims are sunk. He maintains a network of lovers, allies, spies, and debtors across Tamerynd and beyond. He can quote poetry as easily as he can gut a man with a flourish. No one ever really trusts Bonny Billy. But many follow him — some out of love, more out of greed and the hope their share of his adventures will be more than they'd earn elsewhere. Theodorus Fervus Captain of the Carnifex, Warcaptain of Classis Mors Aestus (Death's Wake Fleet) Name Name Original article: Theodorus Fervus Theodorus Fervus (Theodorus the Black) is one of the most feared Warcaptains of the Pirate Isles. A grim tactician, brutalist disciplinarian, and unforgiving master of siege and slaughter, Fervus commands Classis Mors Aestus — “Death's Wake Fleet” — a fleet of pirate ships mostly composed of captured naval warships with reinforced hulls and chained slaves for oar-power. Rumored to once being a naval officer in the service of some former Imperial state, Theodorus betrayed his fellows, mutinied against his captain and became a pirate with what crew would follow him. He now rules through absolute control, surrounded by enforcers who echo the drill-sergeant cruelty of the legions of an empire that died two generations ago. He wears no sigil save for a blackened iron sun — a symbol of his belief that the age of honor is dead, and only those who burn away weakness shall inherit what remains.
