Cyren
Meeter Maid

You've heard tales of those Sirens of the Sea that lure men to their untimely deaths along the reefs with their song. That be Cyren for sure. Recruitment has always been problematic for The Blackheart. Unwilling sailors bludgeoned with a belaying pin can only be of so much use. But Cyren lures them willingly and they surrender to her siren song, coming aboard ship with nary a single whack to the head. When she's not recruiting, she serves as the Executive Chef aboard ship, whipping up amazing food with such mundane stocks as rancid flour, boweevils, rats and an occasional block of moldy cheese.

Animal
Master at Arms
6-String Guitarist in The Pyrates Band

Crazed by the tepid heat of the tropics, Animal was found adrift in a little dinghy off the coast of Cayman. After drinking The Blackheart dry of its supply of fine and not so fine rums, he became lucid once again and recounted the unbelievable tale of his marooning and subsequent travails. We all thought him to be a quite jolly lad but a little dingy (not dinghy). So we chained him to the capstan in case he had another bout of the horrors.

Water Rat
First Mate Emeritus & Token Irishman
Baritone Ukelele and Vocalist in The Pyrates Band

Hailing from Belfast, Water Rat was pressed into service aboard the The Blackheart after he was captured in a battle with the sloop, Irish Rover. Promoted from chief bilge bailer, Water Rat has worked his way up to first mate and chief musician. A wily rogue of a pirate, his spry wit, boundless puns and musical numbers keep the crewe entertained during the long months at sea. He has been with the crewe for an astonishing 27 years - no one has put up with the Captain that long!!!!

Red Handed Jill
Sommelier

Red Handed Jill arrived aboard ship with Youngblood, her youthful charge. While ashore, she was known by local constables as a two-bit thief. Not very good at her craft, she was regularly caught .... (finish the sentence with the first two words in her name). While pillaging, we can always find her in the finer shops in port, particularly those known to sell fine and not so fine wines. She actually earned her name because she’s prone to spilling a glass of Port now and then whenever the ship heels to starboard.

Bootleg
Club Pro

Discovered somewhat dazed, still holding a club over his pock-marked victim, we knew instantly that Bootleg was really on the ball. We immediately seized him and placed him in the service of The Blackheart. It is there that he trains other pirates in the fine arts of effectively using a club while they are engaged in mortal combat in the open field. He is a master of all that he knows and he knows very little (just kidding, there Bootleg - don't want you to "pitch" a fit on deck).

Sir Nigel
Ship's Artist and Ace of Cads
Periodic Lead Guitarist with The Pyrates Band

The eldest son of an English gentleman and a handmaiden, Sir Nigel recently took some time to Sea the World (pun intended). He has served admirably in the "sweet" trade most of his life, notably on the island of Zanzabar, living amongst the Zanzabarbarians. A talented musican and artiste, a lover of dancing and (s)wordplay, a smuggler as well as a snuggler, he has cast his lot with the nafarious band of pirates aboard The Blackheart.

Sloe Gin
Timber Shiverer, Minx
Vocals in The Pyrates Band

Ginger, or Sloe Gin as she's known among the crewe, has sailed with Captain Hurricane aboard the Blackheart on many adventures over the last 20 years, before jumping ship to the Belle Rose. Hurricane and crewe stumbled upon her in a piano bar deep in the Tropics where she served as a torch singer and barmaid, alternately slinging beer and singing salty tales of the sea. Known for her quick wit, beguiling charm, flirtatious demeanor and mastery of the male mind, she quickly gave birth to the now famous term, "Shiver me timbers."

Rogue's Pierre
Weapon's Master/Serenader
Guitarist in The Pyrates Band

Rogue's Pierre is a master swordsman and guitar player, switching with relative ease between a cutlass and a cutaway. At least most of the time. There was the time he was a bit in his cups from too much Pyrat Rum and mixed the two up, doing a Hendrix-like riff on his cutlass, only to find that he had almost sliced the tip of his fingers off on the razor sharp blade. Once he realized his mistake, he dropped the sword, grabbed the guitar and finished a rousing chorus before he passed out from blood loss. As he always say, "The show must go on."

Lighthouse
Navigational Beacon

Lighthouse washed ashore on the beaches of Key West and the Pyrates knew instantly that her skills in navigation would prove invaluable to them. Born to an East Connecticut family of dubious means, she has coursed her way through much of the known world, as well as some parts yet to be discovered. She is a bon vivant by birth and a pirate by osmosis. Her ability to lead the crewe home after a long night at sea has become legendary. Bu-doop! Bu-doop! Lighthouse!

Bonnie Annie
Helmsan

Dreamboat Annie has sailed far and wide in her piratical adventures and has been know to consort with the most nefarious of seafarers in the haunts and back passageways of the port town of Seattle, a small hamlet in the Northwest part of the Americas. Annie is an experienced sailor and has helped guide the often sodden Pyrates crewe out of tight spots, both on land and at sea.

Lollypop
Arghtender
Congas in The Pyrates Band

Lolly is an original member of thethe ship's band and has traveled far and wid with the crewe, from Boston to Key West and back again. He is a jovial lad, always quick with a hearty drink for the crew and a smile. He is famed for his creation of Rumaritas and for his ability to keep time with Hurricane in the band, something no one else with rhythm has ever managed to do. He is the only member of the crew with a boat (one that he actually owns - a real novelty for a pirate), though we have yet to see if it's seaworthy, concerned about the very large hole in the hull that he says is just a minor blemish.

OryginalCinn, a.k.a Stank Jim
Flogger & Mistress of the Ones

Born the daughter of the Baroness of Sublunaria and a mysterious Spaniard known only as Santiago, Oryginal Cinn, or Stank Jim as she is known to some, ran away to the Caribbean to chronicle the lives of the pirates with her first choice of weapons, the pen. She quickly found herself pillaging, plundering, rifling and looting with the worst of scoundrels – the crew of The Blackheart - and enjoying every minute! Equally comfortable in the garb of wench or pirate, Cinn is the master of whip, pistol, bow, axe, and sword... but even more deadly are her fingernails.

Reuben Morgan
Stringmeister

Sailing the ocean blues, Reuben is really jazzed to be joining the crewe of The Blackheart. We discovered him on a rock in themiddle of the ocean, waylaid and adrift. He seemed to have a good soul and we found that he was a better musician than any of us put together. So, rather than string him along, we plucked him from his watery perch. He signed aboard for a couple bucks, yes we got him for a song. He doesn't know sheet about sailing but he's great with a tune, joining Angelina to entertain us during the long days at sea.

Angelina Morgan
Fiddler Arounder

A "jill of all trades", Angelina constantly amazes us with her many talents. She was schooled in Lipzig and studied under Sir Charles Daniels, then spent some time with Van Gogh, who taught her the finer points of painting with a brush instead of her fingers (a major step forward in her career as a ship's artist). And, whenever the crewe is in desperate need of some new duds, give her a few minutes and she can have a pair of breeches and frock coat ready before the noon supper bell, woven from the hair of the every balding crewe.

Bliss
Morale Officer

Discovered raising hell in every inn and tavern along the docks of Wilhelmshaven Germany, Bliss could be found singing the bawdy ballad, "Double your treasure, double your fun" in her native Germanic tongue. Of course, we didn't know that's what she was saying at the time. As the Morale Officer aboard ship, she's charged with keeping the crewe amused so they don't mutiny on the captain. A happy crewe is, well, a happy crewe as they say. With sufficient rum, wenching and booty, anyone would be happy. And when they're not, Bliss will knock them upside the head with her two... well, uh, Morale Boosters. We'll leave it at that.

Wrong Way
Cabin Boy & Heir Apparent

Born upon the high seas aboard the Blackheart, Wrong Way is the offspring of Hurricane. From his earliest moments on Mother Earth, he took to the ways of piratin', learning to wield a rubber knife by the age of six months. His purported first word was "Argh" and he has served aboard the Lady Washington and the Schooner WOLF on multiple tours of duty. He earned his name because of his innate inability to tell port from starboard.

Youngblood
Ship's Sly Spy

Youngblood is a master of disguise and can slip in and out safely from even the most dangerous situations. He has a command of several languages, including five not currently know to any scholar. He is also fluent in nearly any dialect, although he prefers that of an Englishman. He's so good at what he does we're not even sure where he is from one moment to the next. So watch your backside - you never know when Youngblood will suddenly appear to slit yer gizzards wide open. Argh!
