Thread: The Hunting of the Pirate Blackface

Name: “Blackface” Gandarin

Race: Human

Gender: male

Age: mid-40s

Personality: proud, shrewd, calculating; controlled until he reaches a point, and then anyone around is in danger of being the target of his wrath. He’s cold-natured and appears to lack sympathy of any kind. He has a rather unpredictible nature.

Appearance: rugged, scruffy, physically fit; dark hair and eyes; broad, muscular frame; 6’ even.

Clothes: black breeches, loose black tunic, black mask, black boots, black hat, black scabbard

Job: pirate; captain of The Black Phantom

Home: He would call his ship his home; he also has a secret cove on the far side of the island that Fieam is located on.

Biography: Not much is known about him at present, and virtually nothing is known about where he came from; ten years ago he surfaced as a pirate, going by the name Gandarin—after a few months people began sticking him with the nickname “Blackface” since he always wore a mask. Within the year he had obtained his own ship, which he dubbed “The Black Phantom” for its speed, the color of the wood it was made from, and the black sails he rigged it with. Since then he has stolen fortunes, most of which he has never spent, but rather horded in his secret grotto. He is considered the most likely perpetrator of the attack on the Vareisian king in Rotherin, and the second attack that ended in a large amount of the wharf being burned.

Skills: fencing; sailing; fighting; pirating

Weapons: rapier; dagger; cannons (on his ship)

Quick summary: Captain “Blackface” Gandarin – known as “Blackface” for his customary black mask that he wears, supposedly simply to keep his face unidentifiable by possible witnesses—not that he’s the type to leave witnesses; he’s been ravaging the coasts of Vareisia and Fieam for around ten years now; he captains The Black Phantom, one of the fastest ships ever built, and its crew of forty men—all proven to be faithful to Blackface, perhaps out of genuine loyalty or merely fear. He is assumed to be in his mid-forties, though it is hard to tell, as he always wears a mask. He is a skilled fencer and sailor (of course), and has stayed in fit shape. His hideout is in a rocky grotto on the far side of the island Fieam is on, though the location is unknown to all but him and his crew. He has built up a web of informants all over the coast of Ithriya, and has aliases for the different places.
