Biography

Age: 29
Height: 6'1"
Weapon of choice: Cutlass
Where were you born: Outside Ayr, Scotland
What were your parents or those who raised you like? My parents are good, hard working, salt of the earth kind of folks. They are two of the nicest people I have ever met, and are likely ever to meet. My father worked in service of the Crown on the HMS Titan as a shipwright, and rose to the rank of Captain. While still in the service, he and my mother had my brother, Sean, and I followed 10 years later. They raised me with a good set of values, which I took with me when I left home and went to university at Oxford.
What was your profession before you became a pirate? Royal Navy Lieutenant
What/who made you go to sea for the first time? The Royal Navy made me, but I learned to love it.
How did being at sea make you feel? At first, just seasick. After, I found the sea a wonderful freedom, but not as free for others as it was for me. Being an officer was much easier than the regular seaman, and that bothered me.
Who was the first Rogue you met? Dirty Little Irish (DLI)
How did you meet them? It was at Oxford I met a small Irishman with a dirty temper (DLI), and another, slightly taller Irishman who was thin as a rail, so we called him "Fat." We all became fast friends, and upon graduation, we all moved to the big city -- London. The dirty one and I fell out of touch for a while, and when I next saw him, he was hanging around a shady group of characters that I hardly knew, one calling himself a prince, another saying he led a large fleet. They did not look like the navy sort, though, but they were likable.
How did you become involved in The Rogues yourself? I joined the Royal Navy, and with my background at Oxford, they moved me to Lieutenant fairly fast aboard the HMS Resilient. After countless training maneuvers and mapping missions to the north, our first real assignment was to the Caribbean, where a particularly ruthless band of pirates was plaguing the shipping lines. We ended up in a skirmish with one of them, and our green and stupid captain was outmaneuvered by the pirates -- their broadside killed half our numbers and broke our main mast. My ship remained floating, a testament to it's name, and the skill of the pirate captain who laid siege to it. When we were finally boarded, who should I see standing before me but the same man I met when I saw DLI, who I found was indeed the Commodore of a Pirate Fleet, and Captain himself of the Sun God. He asked us all if we would join up with their numbers. Most of my crew said no, that they would take their service of the crown to their grave. I knew that becoming one of the pirates would afford me freedom, both from death and from the bonds that the Royal Navy put on myself and my men. I joined the Commodore, and watched my crew as they were slaughtered, including my old captain, who was given the most gruesome punishment of all -- he was mummified alive. After, I was taken into service of the fleet for a year, where I found my "Fat" friend (Featty) had also met up with this band, and he ended up vouching for my loyalty to the group for my year of servitude. After that, I was assigned to Captain Moon of the Rising, but the Commodore asked if I would be his Quartermaster shortly after, and I accepted. Now, I can't imagine being on any other ship.
How long have you been in The Rogues? Since August 2007
Were you on any ships prior to coming to The Sun God? The Rising
How did you meet Captain Amon? See above stories.
How long have you been on The Sun God? Since September 2007
What is your position? Quartermaster
What does your service mean to you? My service means many things -- a love of being on the sea, a love of freedom and the people around me. Also, a love for the darker side of things, the ability to walk the line between black and white, good and evil, and be wonderfully gray.
What do you hope to accomplish in The Rogues? I hope to have a long and storied tenure -- if I become a first mate or a captain, so be it. I hope to have a lasting and positive impact on my ship, my crew and my fleet.
