[b]Reputation:[/b] Mason is renowned in the English Royal Navy, with his noble background and excellent skills, he rose through the ranks and gained his position. However, while he was able to get the job done, he didn't seem to follow protocol very well. He was given a general discharge.
[b]Wealth:[/b] Moderate
[b]Background Type:[/b] Colonial Aristocrat
[b]Background:[/b]
Mason was born from noble blood, which was a big reason for why he was given the opportunity to rise in rank, however he also showed grand skill in naval combat. Unfortunately, he slowly began to disobey established rule and law, and made his own rules. He began firing on site on suspected criminals and enemies of the Royal Navy, and executed criminals without sentencing. He didn't do it often enough to be castrated of his rank, however it was enough that it was recommended he left the Navy before he tarnished his family name. Many service members under his original command had grown attached to his ways, while many found them outright wrong, however those that fell in line with his command, eventually found t heir way back under his command after he left the Navy, feeling it needed a much harsher hand than what was currently commanded in the Royal Navy.

Some of these men swore loyalty to him, and some swore loyalty to his noble blood over the Kings, which was outright treason, of course. However, by the time this was found out, Mason had already left to the New World, as he wanted to command and rule from his own position, with his own rules and laws. He knew the world was becoming too soft, and the enemies were looking for that weak spot, which Mason didn't want to defend... if he could harden and fix that spot.[/hider]

[b]Backstory:[/b]
The Golden Buccaneers did not, surprisingly, get their name from pillaging gold or robbing ship coffers. Their name is quickly derived from their Captain; Mason Wright. During his naval career with the Royal Navy, in an encounter with pirates, one of his cannons was hit while it was preparing to fire. It exploded near him, and shrapnel destroyed his right eye. A Golden Pearl he had found since before he started his career, was his choice for an eye replacement. It was precious because it was a rare golden pearl. However, the name could also be from the noble blood, signifying royalty, or the fact he does his best to pay his sailors, making them all essentially 'kings,' with their riches.

The crew began originally as simple Royal Navy Sailors under Masons command, before leaving the Navy alongside him and staying under his command. They are known for ruthless attacks against pirates, and have been part of fleets that destroyed Legendary Pirate Fleets. Mason, as usual, tended to execute any pirates he captured, on site.
